Effects of Segmental Breathing Exercise in Patients Awaiting Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery (CABG)
Condition: Complications Due to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
MeSH terms: Respiratory Aspiration
Study type: Interventional

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.

Intervention name(s): segmental breathing exercise; deep breathing
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): Group-A (interventional group) will receive segmental breathing exercises and deep breathing. segmental breathing exercise will be performed by taking a deep and long breath from nose patient inhale air in to lungs and in exhalation therapist will apply pressure on intercostal spaces at apical, lateral and posterior 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 2 times a day.; conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2 times a day. . deep breathing exercise will be performed by taking a deep and long breath from nose patient inhale air in to lungs and will exhale through mouth.
