Summary

Following CABG surgery, patients are at risk for several complications. One of the most common complications is postoperative pulmonary complications, which include atelectasis and dyspnea. These complications cause prolonged ICU length of stay and increased health care costs. Several studies recommended the active cycle of breathing technique as a method that increases secretion removal and improves lung functions, thus reducing the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. Our study aims to investigate the effect of the active cycle of breathing technique on coronary artery bypass graft patients' outcomes.

Conditions

  • Coronary Artery Bypass
  • Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD)

Interventions

OTHER

Active Cycle of Breathing Technique

* Patients will assume the sitting position and relax their shoulders, then perform the following: 1. Breathing control (abdominal breathing) 2. Chest expansion (thoracic breathing) 3. Huff cough (forced expiratory technique) * After completing the above actions, patients will be asked to cough up the residual deep sputum to promote pulmonary expansion. * The ACBT intervention will be performed for three days, each day two sessions, each session three courses, with 10 minutes of rest between them as needed.
