The Effect of Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Respiratory Training on Pain, Fatigue and Respiratory Parameters in Patients After Open Heart Surgery

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted respiratory training on fatigue, pain, and respiratory parameters in patients after open heart surgery.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Open heart surgery and related procedures (such as sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and chest tubes) can negatively affect pulmonary functions and cause postoperative pain, fatigue, and limited respiratory muscle function. While standard care involves respiratory exercises, there is insufficient data regarding the combination of upper extremity Range of Motion (ROM) exercises with deep breathing. This study will utilize AI-generated educational videos, created using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Adobe Firefly, to guide patients in performing these exercises safely and correctly. Participants will be randomized into three groups: a Rhythmic Breathing group, a Range of Motion-Deep Breathing (ROM-DB) group, and a Control group. The interventions will be applied for three consecutive days. The study will evaluate outcomes including respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate, pain levels, fatigue, dyspnea, and chest tube drainage volume.

Wapens en interventies

Deelnemersgroep / Arm
Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Rhythmic Breathing Group
Patients will watch an AI-generated video via tablet and simultaneously perform a 3x3x3 rhythmic breathing exercise, which consists of inhaling for 3 seconds, holding the breath for 3 seconds, and exhaling for 3 seconds. The exercise will be repeated 5 times per session, once a day, for 3 days.
Ander: Rhythmic Breathing Group
Patients in this group will watch an artificial intelligence-generated educational video on a tablet. Following the visual and auditory instructions in the video, they will perform a rhythmic breathing exercise consisting of inhaling for 3 seconds, holding the breath for 3 seconds, and exhaling for 3 seconds. The exercise will be performed for 5 repetitions, once a day, for 3 consecutive days under the supervision of the researcher.
Experimenteel: Range of Motion-Deep Breathing (ROM-DN) Group
Patients will watch an AI-generated video via tablet and simultaneously perform upper extremity Range of Motion (ROM) exercises combined with deep breathing. The exercise consists of 5 sets of controlled inspiration and expiration synchronized with arm abduction and adduction. This will be applied once a day for 3 days.
Ander: Range of Motion-Deep Breathing (ROM-DN) Group
Patients in this group will watch an artificial intelligence-generated educational video on a tablet. They will perform upper extremity range of motion (abduction and adduction) exercises synchronized with deep inspiration and expiration. This exercise will be performed for 5 repetitions, once a day, for 3 consecutive days under the supervision of the researcher.
Geen tussenkomst: Control Group
Patients in this group will not receive the study-specific video exercises. They will be monitored under the clinic's standard routine care protocol, which includes standard breathing exercises and the use of an incentive spirometer (triflo).

Uitkomstmaat
Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
Change in Respiratory Rate
Tijdsspanne: Evaluated at baseline (before intervention), and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Measured continuously as breaths per minute while the patient is at rest.
Evaluated at baseline (before intervention), and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Change in Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
Tijdsspanne: Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Measured as a percentage (%) using a noninvasive pulse oximeter
Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Change in Heart Rate
Tijdsspanne: Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Measured as beats per minute at rest using a noninvasive patient monitor.
Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Pain Level
Tijdsspanne: Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Evaluated using the self-reported Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where "0" indicates no pain and "10" indicates unbearable pain. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Fatigue Level
Tijdsspanne: Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).
Evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scale ranges from 0 to 10, where "0" indicates no fatigue and "10" indicates unbearable fatigue. Higher scores represent increased fatigue.
Evaluated at baseline, and Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 (measured both before and 5 minutes after the exercise session).

Evaluated using the Modified Borg Scale (CR-10), a category-ratio scale ranging from 0 (nothing at all) to 10. Higher scores indicate higher perceived exertion/dyspnea.
