Filter by:The patients who have undergone thoracotomy operation will include in the study. All patients have chest physiotherapy in the intensive care unit. Patients will be randomized and divided into two groups. One group will be given an exercise form with details and photographs of the exercises. No documents will be given to the other group. The program includes breathing exercises, incentive spirometry study, coughing and graded ambulation. After 1 intensive care session, patients are admitted to the service rooms due to routine procedures. The patients will be served in the afternoon and will be questioned whether they are performing their exercises or not.
Chest physiotherapy and breathing exercises are an important non-pharmacological treatment modality in order to prevent and minimize postoperative respiratory complications in patients undergoing open heart surgery. Different respiratory techniques are used after cardiac surgery, but there is no opinion about which technique or exercise is effective. The purpose of this study, practical application of chest physiotherapy to patients who have had open heart surgery in Turkey and to identify methods of breathing exercises.
OBJECTIVE: to determine whether preoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is able to attenuate the impact of surgical trauma on the respiratory muscle strength, in the lung volumes and diaphragmatic excursion in obese women undergoing open bariatric surgery. Therefore, the hypothesis of the present study was that preoperative IMT is able to attenuate the negative effects of surgical trauma on the respiratory muscle strength, in the lung volumes and diaphragmatic excursion, thus reducing the risk of PPC, in obese patients undergoing open bariatric surgery. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Meridional Hospital, Cariacica/ES, Brazil. SUBJECTS: Thirty-two obese women undergoing elective open bariatric surgery were randomly assigned to receive preoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT group) or usual care (control group). MAIN MEASURES: Respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure - MIP and maximal expiratory pressure - MEP), lung volumes and diaphragmatic excursion.
Abdominal surgical procedures can increase risks of pulmonary complications.The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of an early intervention of chest physiotherapy during immediate post-operative in patients submitted to elective abdominal surgery.
