Space Occupying Lesion (SOL) is a lesion in the intracranial space that causes pressure on the brain, causing a decrease in oxygen supply to the brain. After the surgical procedure and anesthesia are carried out, there is pressure on the central nervous system where the patient's consciousness decreases, which will cause a decrease in the cough reflex and an accumulation of mucus and secretions. Slow deep breathing exercise is an action that can indirectly reduce lactic acid by increasing oxygen supply and reducing the brain's oxygen demand, so that brain oxygen balance is expected to occur. Slow deep breathing is a relaxation technique with slow breathing which can be in the form of chest or stomach breathing which aims to provide a relaxing effect. Deep breathing exercises (Slow Deep Breathing) have a good impact on the breathing pattern, allowing the abdomen to rise slowly and expand fully. The aim of giving deep breaths is to increase the alveoli, maintain gas exchange, relax muscle tension, increase the efficiency of coughing and thus improve breathing.
