Summary

Purpose: This study will find out the effect of Autogenic drainage on the prevention of pulmonary complications after upper abdominal surgery. Method: Sixty patients post upper abdominal surgeries will be included, their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years old. The patients will be divided into two groups, study group (A) include patients that receive first traditional physiotherapy (localized breathing exercise, diaphragmatic breathing, and splinted coughing) then autogenic drainage (B)-Group B: patients that receive traditional physiotherapy (localized breathing exercise, diaphragmatic breathing and splinted coughing)

Conditions

  • Postoperative Complications

Interventions

PROCEDURE

autogenic drainage

breathing control using expiratory airflow to mobilize secretions from smaller to larger airways. Secretions are cleared independently by adjusting the depth and speed of respiration in a sequence of controlled breathing techniques during exhalation in addition to traditional physiotherapy (deep breathing exercise, diaphragmatic breathing and splinted coughing)
