Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparing the effect of Incentive Spirometry versus Deep Breathing Exercises on Vital Capacity (VC) and Respiratory Status of Post-Operative Patients.Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed 15 mins after the intervention.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Comparing the respiratory muscle strength of patients who have undergone surgery post the deep breathing exercises versus incentive spirometry. Assessing the respiratory status of the patients with the help of the following parameters: Forced vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) and Oxygen Saturation. Comparing the effect of incentive spirometer versus deep breathing on chest expansion at 3 levels --- angle of Louis, nipple level & xiphisternum level.Timepoint: Outcome will be assessed 15 mins after the intervention.—
