Brief summary

This randomized clinical trial seeks to compare the efficacy of the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) and Buteyko breathing techniques in sternotomy patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, aged 30 to 60. Data will be collected from Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in selected hospitals. Participants will be assigned to intervention to receiving ACBT and Buteyko breathing techniques standard protocol including chest percussion , tissue blowing exercises, incentive spirometer , cough technique, breathing control, deep breathing, and deep breathing techniques.

Detailed description

This randomized clinical trial seeks to compare the efficacy of the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT) and Buteyko breathing techniques in sternotomy patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, aged 30 to 60. Data will be collected from Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in selected hospitals. Participants will be assigned to intervention to receiving ACBT and Buteyko breathing techniques standard protocol including chest percussion , tissue blowing exercises, incentive spirometer , cough technique, breathing control, deep breathing, and deep breathing techniques. The three-day trial, starting upon ICU/CCU admission, will measure primary and secondary outcomes before and after each session for both groups. Statistical analysis using SPSS version 25 will be employed post data collection.

Interventions

Group A: combine effects of ACBT and Buteyko techniques will be performed first 3days of cardiac rehab phase 1.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Borg dyspnea scalebase line and 4 weekThe Borg RPE scale rates exertion from a scale of 6 (no exertion) to 20 (maximum effort). A rating between 12 to 14 typically reflects a moderate or somewhat hard level of intensity.
BREATHLESSNESS, COUGH AND SPUTUM SCALE (BCSS)4 weeksThe BCSS is a three-item patient-reported questionnaire that rates sputum, cough, and dyspnea . This instrument can identify a disease aggravation with sensitivity and specificity.
