Brief summary

It will be a randomized control trial study in which data are collected from hospital. A sample of 26 patients will divided into two group. One group of 13 patients will receive early mobilization and other group of 13 patients will receive early mobilization and chest physiotherapy only. All subject will receive 30 minute two session per day till two weeks. Outcome will be measured with MRC dyspnea scale and Pulmonary function test with spirometry to measure FEV1 and FEV1/FVC and quality of life will be checked by using ST. GEORGE'S respiratory questionnaire. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 21.

Interventions

OTHERchest physiotherapy and early mobilization

Chest Physiotherapy: Each session included a series of exercises, lasting a total of 15 minutes and including positioning self-conscious breathing control, diaphragmatic breathing control, and exercises for the chest wall and abdominal muscle walls. Early mobilization: Each session included abdominal and upper and lower limb exercises, shoulder and full arm circling, lying to sit, sit to stand, walk and other exercises. This training has been described previously and used in other clinical trials. Each exercise was repeated 8-10 times over 30 minutes

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
St. George Respiratory QuestionnaireTwo weeksUsing the SGRQ-C, the QOL of the study participants is evaluated. There are 14 questions in this questionnaire. The questionnaire would be given to the patients, who will instructed to answer it truthfully. The response is whatever they believe to be true for them. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 100, respectively. Better QOL is indicated by a lower score. The formula was used to determine the total of the three component scores (symptoms, activity, and effects).

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
pulmonary function test FEV1Two weeksspirometery is portable, and handheld device used to measure capacities and volumes of lungs. predicted percentage(%) value of FEV1. The patient stands up straight, then takes a deep breath, and holds it till the mouthpiece is placed in between the teeth. Instruct the patient not to put the tongue against or inside the hole of the mouthpiece. The patient was asked to blow in the hole as fast and hard in a single blow. The first burst of air is the most important. The number was noted down, and the same procedure was repeated three times. The best of the three readings was the value used for the analysis. evaluation will be done before and after 2 week treatment plan

The patient stands up straight, then takes a deep breath, and holds it till the mouthpiece is placed in between the teeth. Instruct the patient not to put the tongue against or inside the hole of the mouthpiece. The patient was asked to blow in the hole as fast and hard in a single blow.

MRC dyspnea scaleTwo weeksUsing the MRC dyspnea scale, self-perceived dyspnea in connection to physical impairment has been evaluated. Patients is required to rate their self-perceived dyspnea on a scale of (0-4) using pre-defined sentences. There will be pre- and post-treatment evaluations.
