Effects of Active Cycle of Breathing Technique on Pulmonary Functions After CABG During Phase 1 Cardiac Rehabilitation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ACBT group and Conventional Physical therapy for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to determine the effects of Active cycle of breathing technique (ACBT) on cardiopulmonary parameters of post CABG patients. A randomized control trial was conducted with a sample size of 40 post CABG patients. Non probability Convenience Sampling Technique was used to collect sample and randomization was done through sealed envelope method to allocate participants to the groups. Patients in experimental group did ACBT along with the conventional treatment protocol that was performed in the control group. Subjects completed the exercise protocol of 5 days. Both male and female post CABG patients of age 30-65 years who were vitally stable were included in study. Data was analyzed on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Normality was assessed through shapiro wilk test. Parametric tests were applied on normally distributed variables and non parametric tests were applied for the non normally distributed data. Confidence interval was kept at 95% and p value \<0.05 was considered significant.
