Effect of Deep Breathing Exercises on Post Operative Sleep Duration

Effect of Deep Breathing Exercises on Post Operative Sleep Duration and Quality in Patients Undergoing CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Graft).

This study will provide the evidence that during the postoperative period deep breathing exercise combined with physical training can positively influence the sleep duration and quality. This study will provide the evidence that during the postoperative period deep breathing exercise combined with physical training can positively influence the sleep duration and quality.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Deep Breathing Exercise after every 3hrs, each session consists of 10 deep breaths Exercise; Other: Deep Breathing Exercise after every 3hrs, each session consist of 30 deep breaths Exercise

Detailed Description

Subjects will be randomly placed into Control group and Interventional group. The control program will consist of Deep Breathing Exercises (from Morning to night every three hours; each session consisting of 10 deep breaths with a few seconds pause between each set, for 3 days) in addition with progressive Exercises. Two daily sessions with an average duration of 25 min will be performed. In addition to the physiotherapeutic program standardized by the hospital's team of physical therapists, the intervention group will perform additional Deep breathing Exercises (from Morning to night every three hours; each session consisting of 30 deep breaths with a few seconds pause between each set, for 3 days). Deep breathing exercises will start 48 hours after extubation and full education along with the routine care (i.e.: from the fourth to sixth postoperative day).
