No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chest trauma (CT) patients with 3 or more ribs fractures with or without pleuropulmonary injury are an indicator of severity. Chest physiotherapy (CP) and analgesia is the first line treatment in these patients.

The aim study is to evaluate the effect of positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing compared to the incentive spirometry in terms of pain control in the recent phase of CT.

Conditions

  • Trauma Chest

Interventions

DEVICE

PEP bottle

PEP bottle: it will be performed with a bottle of distilled water and a plastic tube, where the patient breathes against a resistance during expiration.
