Abstract

Background: This study examines the effect of Asthma on the English-speaking time of school children. The study was investigated systematically in 34 patients with a history of asthma from the Cholistan desert of Punjab province in Pakistan, who attended an emergency department of a hospital in Bahawalpur city having dust allergy with asthma for an acute aggravation. Each patient listened to an educational audiotape on the appropriate counting technique before inhaling maximally and counting until a second breath was mandatory. This indicated the "speech time" of the patient in seconds. The researcher collected a total of 250 pairs of pretreatment and posttreatment PEFR and speaking time measurements. The results of speaking time discovered that the PEFR may be statistically anticipated by speaking time [P .0001]. Conclusions of the study also showed that aggravation of acute asthma badly affects the students’ English-speaking ability.
