Effect Of Power Breath Device On Arterial Blood Gases And Diaphragmatic Excursion After Valve Surgery

Effect Of Power Breath Device On Arterial Blood Gases And Diaphragmatic Excursion After Valve Surgery

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of power breath device on arterial blood gases, diaphragmatic excursion and the 6 min walk test after cardiac valve surgery.

No more studies have been done on the effect of IMT by power breath on valvular surgery, So, this study will see the effect of power breath device on arterial blood gases, diaphragmatic excursion and six minute walk test after valve surgery to know enhanced recovery protocols in valvular surgery that accelerate the functional recovery, minimize the length of the hospital stay and decrease cost of treatment.
