Efficacy of incentive spirometer and diaphragmatic breathing exercise on the alteration of arterial blood gas measures in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized comparative trial
Despite not revealing statistically significant differences in the alteration of ABG measures between groups, the current study observed minimal improvements in ABG measures in the IS Group compared to the DBE Group. Therefore, this study suggests that, in addition to conventional chest physiotherapy, using an IS might be superior to DBE in altering ABG measures in patients with post-CABG. Nonetheless, we may use both intervention and conventional chest physiotherapy postoperatively as a prophylactic regime.
