Summary

Postoperative respiratory complications in patients who had chest-opening heart surgery are considered one of the serious factors threatening their life. However, these potential complications could be minimized using proper preoperative chest physiotherapy. This study was designed to assess the potential effects of using preoperative chest physiotherapy on oxygenation and lung functions among open heart surgery patients during postoperative period.

Conditions

  • Open Heart Surgery Patients

Interventions

PROCEDURE

preoperative chest physiotherapy

The patients were approached to partake in the investigation after they got full clarifications about the point of study. They were allocated into two groups and reassurance was achieved about the absence of any side effects.Furthermore, the examination was approved by the ethical committee. Effects of preoperative chest physiotherapy were compared between two groups, by measuring the lung functions, oxygen saturation, pulmonary complications and length of hospital staying. Lung functions were completed by utilizing spirometry parameters, oxygen saturation was measured by pulse oximeter and pulmonary complications were diagnosed by specialist doctors.

PROCEDURE

postoperative chest physiotherapy

Postoperative chest physiotherapy made in both two groups was similar to the preoperative chest physiotherapy but this was achieved by physiotherapists and made once a day for 10-25 minutes depending on the "lectures" of postoperative days.
