Objective To explore the application effect of continuous respiratory function training combined with home oxygen therapy nursing in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods A total of 80 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) admitted to our hospital from October 2024 to October 2025 were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into the control group (n=40) and the observation group (n=40) by random number table method. The control group received conventional nursing intervention, while the observation group received continuous respiratory function training combined with home oxygen therapy nursing on this basis. After 6 months of intervention, the lung functions of the two groups of patients were compared, and the differences in the incidence of acute exacerbation and readmission rate between the two groups were also compared. Results The pulmonary function of the observation group after intervention was better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of acute exacerbation in the observation group was 10.00%, which was lower than 30.00% in the control group (P < 0.05), and the readmission rate was 5.00%, which was lower than 22.50% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion In patients with stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), continuous respiratory function training combined with home oxygen therapy care is helpful to improve their lung function and is also an effective measure to reduce the incidence of acute exacerbation and readmission rate, with significant clinical application value.
