Effects of Segmental Breathing Exercise in Patients Awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)

Complications Due to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Preoperative Segmental Breathing Exercise on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients Awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial 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.
