Today, obesity is the major concern and obese patients are at higher risk of developing pulmonary complications. Incentive Spirometry is widely used worldwide to reduce rates of pulmonary complications. In this study, Effect of Incentive Spirometry (IS) on Post Operative Bariatric Patients (Male and Female) will be studied on patients about sample size of 140 including male and female gender, BMI above 30 kg/m2 having Post Operative Bariatric Surgeries with chances of generating Pulmonary complications.

Study Overview

• Conditions: Bariatric Surgery Candidate
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: efficacy of Incentive spirometer

Detailed Description

Research will be conducted in Shalamar Hospital Lahore and data will be collected through predesigned proforma.
