Effectivity of Incentive Spirometry on Postoperative Pulmonary Complication After Major Abdominal Surgery In Indonesia Three Major Tertiary Hospitals: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating respiratory exercise with incentive spirometry for Incentive Spirometry and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 46 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study is the first clinical trial study in Indonesia to assess the benefits of using incentive spirometry in the incidence of pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery. This study was a randomized clinical trial in three tertiary-level referral hospitals in Indonesia (Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Fatmawati Hospital, and Persahabatan Hospital). The investigators randomly assigned adult patients who underwent major abdominal elective surgery in July-August 2015 to two groups. All study subjects were simple randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups according to the randomization table. The hypothesis of the study team was that preoperative incentive spirometry can improve the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in major abdominal surgery

Interventions
Subjects in the intervention group were trained to perform 15 minutes of respiratory exercise with incentive spirometry four times a day for two days before surgery by trained medical personnel. First, subjects were instructed to make a good seal over the incentive spirometry mouthpiece with their lips. Afterward, they were asked to inhale deeply and slowly, and they were also directed to hold their breath at the end of inspiration
