Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary Objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of PEFR guided Prehabilitation in reducing the incidence of post operative pulmonary complications (pneumonia, post operative ventilation, atelectasis, desaturation, requirement of O2 therapy post operatively). and Improving functional recovery in patients undergoing elective upper abdominal surgeries.Timepoint: Pre operative day 3, 2, 1 and Post operative day 1	—
