About this study

It will be a randomized clinical trial. Age of selected subjects will be between 40 to 60 years and data will be collected from intensive care units (ICUs) and cardiac care units (CCUs) of selected hospitals. There will be 2 groups i.e. group A will receive active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT) and group B will receive diaphragmatic breathing technique. Spirometer will be used to evaluate pulmonary functions and breathless, cough and sputum scale (BCSS) will be used to evaluate the improvement in sputum diary of patients. The trial will be completed in two days after patients admitted in the ICUs/CCUs and before and after each session, primary and secondary outcomes will be measured for both groups. After data collection, data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25

Inclusion criteria

  • Post-CABG patients
  • Gender: males and females
  • Have speaking, hearing and cognitive ability
  • On mechanical ventilation for ≤ 24 h after CABG

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior history of open heart surgery
  • Prior severe pulmonary/hepatic or renal disease- Complications after CABG (cardiogenic shock, bleeding requiring transfusion, acute kidney injury, cardiac temponade and severe hypotension)
  • Life-threatening arrhythmias (ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation)

Treatment and study plan

Active Cycle of Breathing Technique

Other

Group A will receive ACBTs with 1 session a day for total 2 days in a week.

Diaphragmatic breathing

Other

Group B will receive diaphragmatic breathing for 1 session a day for total 2 days in a week.

Primary outcomes

  1. 6 Min walk test

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    The 6 min walk test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance.It is also use to monitor your response to treatments for heart lung and other health problems. Provides a measure for integrated global response of multiple cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal systems involved in exercise.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Borg Rating of Perceived scale

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Is a way of measuring physical activity intensity level.It has a range from 6 to 20 ,scale correlates with a person heart rate or how hard they feel they are working.Ask you to rate the difficulty of your breathing.
