Summary

The study is designed to compare the effects of blow bottle technique and interdigital exercises on the pulmonary functions of the post laparotomy patients where there is sudden decline in lung function and increased rate of complications after the surgery. A randomized control trial was conducted including post laparotomy patients, randomly allocated to interventional and control groups. Both the groups received breathing exercises along with conventional treatment during phase I rehabilitation. Data was collected at baseline, before and after every session and after 6 sessions before patient discharge from hospital. Outcome measures include assessment of lung volumes and capacities, oxygen saturation and vitals of the post laparotomy patients
