Filter by:Background Thoracic or abdominal surgeries are followed by a shorter or longer period of immobilization and after major surgery there is a higher risk of developing cardiorespiratory complications. To prevent these complications, the patient is encouraged to change position and exercise in bed, get out of bed as early and as much as possible after the operation and to breathe with or without aids. There is no general definition of early mobilization and may start within a few hours to a few days after surgery. There is currently a lack of knowledge nationally and internationally about when the mobilization starts and what it contains. Many patients also receive breathing training in connection with the surgery. There is currently no consensus on which method is preferable for which groups of patients. There are similarities and differences in practice in the world regarding postoperative breathing training. There are studies that have mapped practice after primarily thoracic surgery but also abdominal surgery. However, there are no studies that have mapped when the prescribed breathing training starts after different types of operations. The purpose of the study is to map when mobilization and breathing training starts after abdominal and thoracic surgery and what is then performed Method The study will be carried out as a quality follow-up with mapping of practice. Patients ≥ 18 years of age who are undergoing a planned or acute open, keyhole or robot-assisted surgery, who are extubated and who breathe spontaneously will be included. Exclusion criteria are completed plastic, trauma, orthopedic or transplant surgery. The material will be recruited from Swedish university hospitals and county hospitals for 20 days of surgery (Monday through Thursday) for five consecutive weeks. Clinical benefit The study will mean that clinical practice is presented which, with regard to mobilization, is the first study ever that will present when this takes place and what is done and, with regard to breathing training, the first that shows when this training is initiated.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of physiotherapeutical instructions on dysfunctional breathing in children and adolescents with or without asthma. Children and adolescents with dysfunctional breathing, are invited to participate in the intervention study. Participants are stratified by asthma diagnose status and randomized to physiotherapy or standard care. Participants are followed a year after the intervention, to compare the development in asthma control ( if asthma) and quality of life.
Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a common condition and its treatment remains elusive. The focus of this proposal is to identify the role of the physiologic path involving cortical arousals in CSA by decreasing arousal frequency using the pharmacological agent zolpidem. The goal is to identify the acute effects of administering zolpidem on sleep and respiratory outcomes, and subsequently, its effect on the severity of CSA and propensity to develop CSA. This study will shed light on the mechanisms underlying CSA that involve cortical arousals and will guide future therapeutic interventions for CSA.
This study will examine the effect of mindful breathing and the mechanism of positive spirals of mindfulness using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and actigraphy. Previous studies have shown a positive spiral between state mindfulness and positive affect (Du, An, Ding, Zhang, & Xu, 2018). The mindful coping model (Garland, Gaylord, & Fredrickson, 2011) suggested that the state of mindfulness can lead to reappraisal and reframing of their stressful circumstances which further lead to positive emotion and reduced stress. These positive effects will affect the next cycle and hence form a positive spiral. Since mindful breathing was an effective practice for immediate decentering (Feldman, Greeson, & Senville, 2010), it will be used as the manipulation of state mindfulness. Besides, there is very limited research on the associations between these constructs using EMA and actigraphy. Therefore, this study will explore this association by manipulating the state of mindfulness with mindful breathing using EMA.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using an IMT Threshold device (Philips), on early postoperative lung function recovery and on the occurrence of post-operative pulmonary complications (PPC) after major cardiothoracic surgery with and without sternotomy. As frailty can affect postoperative outcome, the relation between frailty, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and post-operative outcome is investigated additionally.
The research purpose is to investigate the effectiveness of abdominal breathing training on reducing anxiety. This study is an experimental research design. Using a randomized controlled trial approach. The patients receiving the intervention of abdominal breathing training were in the experimental group, while those who did not receive it were in the control group.
This study is planned to compare the effects of Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) with breathing exercises for improving functional outcomes in patients with fibromyalgia. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Sample size would be 26 patients with fibromyalgia randomly allocated to the Muscle energy techniques group and breathing exercise group. Both the groups will receive 8 weeks of treatment, 3 times per week. Data will be collected at baseline 5th week and 8th week. Outcome measurements include a Numeric pain rating scale, 6 min walk test, chest expansion, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire scores.
The aim of this study is to investigate effects of Anulom vilom pranayama/ Alternate nasal breathing (ANB) on cardio-respiratory parameters including vitals i.e. heart rate, blood pressure, chest expansion, arterial blood gases (ABGs), pulmonary function test and functional capacity in phase 1 post CABG patients. This study will help Cardiopulmonary physiotherapists to incorporate evidence based protocols for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG) in phase 1 of cardiac rehabilitation.
this study designed to examine the effect of Acu-TENS applied bilaterally on Ding Chuan acupoint to boost pulmonary functions, improve diaphragmatic excursion and decrease dyspnea in patients with inhalation injuries.
Τherapeutic equivalence, randomized, multiple-dose, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, parallel group design consisting of a 2-week run-in period followed by a 4-week treatment period with Fluticasone propionate 100 mcg/ blister oral inhalation powder/Respirent Pharmaceuticals (Test) or FLOVENT DISKUS® 100mcg blister oral inhalation powder (Reference) or placebo.
