Clinical Trial Summary

Hypothesis: Deep breathing exercises performed during the first two months after cardiac surgery, will improve pulmonary function and patient-perceived quality of recovery.

Specific aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of breathing exercises performed with a mechanical device for positive expiratory pressure during the first two months after cardiac surgery compared to a control group performing no breathing exercises.

Design: A prospective, randomized, controlled two-center study.


Clinical Trial Description

Contribution: The study will be taken place at two University hospitals in Sweden.

Uppsala university hospital (PhD, Registered physical therapist (RPT)) Margareta Emtner and RPT Charlotte Urell) and Örebro university hospital; (Elisabeth Westerdahl and RPT Marcus Jonsson).

Time planning: Application to the Research Ethics Committee april 2007. Data collection 2007-2011. Statistical analysis and manuscript writing 2011. ;
