Effects of Preoperative Segmental Breathing Exercise on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients Awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating segmental breathing exercise and deep breathing for Complications Due to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft. Completed, enrolled 44 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To determine the effects of preoperative segmental breathing exercise on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients awaiting coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This study will be a randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in cardiac surgery department at Faisalabad institute of cardiology. sample size will be 44including both male and female. Non- probability purposive sampling technique will be used. Modified healthy heart questionnaire will be used as a screening tool. Baseline, postoperatively before discharge at week 5 assessment will be done by 6-minute walk test. Subjects in group A (interventional group) will be treated using segmental breathing exercises combined with Conventional Treatment (deep breathing exercise ) and the group B (control group) will be treated with only conventional treatment. Group-A (interventional group) will receive segmental breathing exercises for one month 5 days a week and 2 sessions per day for 15 minutes for each patient. conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2times a day. Dyspnea will be checked baselineand at week5 by modified Borg scale.Sputum cup was used for expectoration of sputum . Quality of life will be checked baseline and at week 5by SF-12 Questionnaire. Outcome variables will be 6MWT, dyspnea, quality of life, oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure and expectoration of sputum. Data will be analyzed on SPSS-25.

Timeline
Interventions
Group-A (interventional group) will receive segmental breathing exercises and deep breathing. segmental breathing exercise will be performed by taking a deep and long breath from nose patient inhale air in to lungs and in exhalation therapist will apply pressure on intercostal spaces at apical, lateral and posterior for one month 5 days a week and 2 sessions per day for 15 minutes for each patient. conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2 times a day.
conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2 times a day. . deep breathing exercise will be performed by taking a deep and long breath from nose patient inhale air in to lungs and will exhale through mouth.
