Upper Extremity Exercises With and Without Deep Breathing After Cardiac Surgery (ROM-DB)

30 mei 2026 bijgewerkt door: MUSTAFA CANIKOGLU, Kocaeli University

Evaluation of the Effects of Upper Extremity Range of Motion Exercises Performed With and Without Deep Breathing on Respiratory Parameters After Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Trials

This randomized 2×2 crossover trial aims to evaluate the effects of upper extremity range of motion exercises performed with and without deep breathing on respiratory parameters in patients after open cardiac surgery. The study will include adult patients who underwent elective open cardiac surgery and are receiving postoperative care in the cardiovascular surgery intensive care unit. Each participant will perform both exercise protocols: upper extremity range of motion exercises alone and upper extremity range of motion exercises combined with deep breathing. The order of the two interventions will be randomized. Respiratory and clinical outcomes, including oxygen saturation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, heart rate, pain, perceived exertion, and dyspnea, will be assessed before and after each intervention.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Postoperative pulmonary complications are common after cardiac surgery and may include atelectasis, pulmonary edema, hypoxemia, reduced lung volumes, impaired thoracic mobility, and respiratory muscle dysfunction. Median sternotomy, postoperative pain, fear of movement, prolonged immobilization, and changes in respiratory mechanics may contribute to impaired pulmonary function during the early postoperative period.

Postoperative physiotherapy, early mobilization, breathing exercises, and range of motion exercises are commonly included in standard postoperative care after cardiac surgery. Deep breathing exercises are recommended to support lung expansion and improve pulmonary function, while upper extremity range of motion exercises may contribute to thoracic mobility, postural drainage, secretion clearance, and functional recovery. However, evidence regarding the immediate effects of standardized upper extremity exercises on respiratory parameters after open cardiac surgery remains limited.

Previous studies have examined respiratory physiotherapy, mobilization, and exercise-based interventions after cardiac surgery, and some evidence suggests potential benefits on lung function and inspiratory capacity. Nevertheless, the specific contribution of upper extremity range of motion exercises performed with versus without deep breathing has not been sufficiently clarified. This study is designed to compare the immediate effects of these two standardized exercise protocols on oxygen saturation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, heart rate, pain, perceived exertion, and dyspnea in patients after cardiac surgery.

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Deep Breathing followed by ROM with Deep Breathing
Participants will first perform deep breathing exercises alone, followed by upper extremity range of motion exercises combined with deep breathing.
Gedragsmatig: Deep Breathing Exercise
Participants will perform slow and deep breathing exercises in a sitting position. Measurements will be recorded before and immediately after the intervention.
Gedragsmatig: Upper Extremity ROM Exercise Combined with Deep Breathing
Participants will perform bilateral upper extremity range of motion exercises while taking a slow deep breath during arm elevation and exhaling during arm lowering. The exercise will be repeated five times in a sitting position. Measurements will be recorded before and immediately after the intervention.

Wat meet het onderzoek?

Primaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Change in Oxygen Saturation SpO₂
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
Oxygen saturation will be measured using a bedside clinical monitor or pulse oximeter. SpO₂ represents the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen in the blood and will be recorded as a percentage. Higher values indicate better oxygenation.
Baseline and immediately after each intervention.

Secundaire uitkomstmaten

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Change in Respiratory Rate
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
Respiratory rate will be assessed as the number of breaths taken per minute and recorded as breaths per minute
Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
Change in Heart Rate
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
Heart rate will be measured using a bedside clinical monitor and recorded as beats per minute.
Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
Change in Pain Intensity Assessed by the Numeric Rating Scale
Tijdsspanne: Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
Pain intensity will be assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale, ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
Baseline and immediately after each intervention.
