Effect of Incentive Spirometer and Pursed Lip Breathing After Whipple Procedure.

Not Applicable

Recruiting

Brief Summary: Whipple procedure is one of the most complex surgeries among hepatobiliary surgeries. It has named as Pancreaticoduodenectomy. It can cause many PPCs. Lung volumes are reduced due to atelectasis and pneumonia. Incentive spirometer (IS) is used to prevent PPCs. Due to general anesthesia, atelectasis is among most frequent PPCs. Pursed Lip Breathing (PLB) supports the patient to control the breath. The shriveling lips provide resistance to the air flowing out of the lungs. Airway collapse can be prevented by prolonged exhalation. Dyspnea occurs during 6MWT when patient performs walk in corridor. The aim of this study is to check the effect of Incentive Spirometer and Pursed Lip Breathing to improve dyspnea, oxygen saturation and hospital stay after Whipple procedure. This research of RCT will check the effect of IS and PLB by taking sample size of 60 post-operative patients through convenient sampling technique by allocating them randomly in group A and group B. Group A will receive PLB and group B will receive IS with baseline treatment chest percussions up to the duration of every day till discharge (reading will be collected on every 4rth day), dyspnea will be assessed through 6MWT and measured by Modified MRC dyspnea scale. The data will be analyzed through SPSS 26.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Incentive Spirometer	Incentive Spirometer	The intervention will be given every day till the patient discharged from hospital. Patient will perform 5 sets, in each set, 10 times will be included and hold for 3 seconds but not more than 5 seconds. Reading will be taken on every 4rth POD and comparison will be done with 1st POD reading and so on.
Pursed Lip Breathing	Pursed Lip Breathing	For the use of PLB exercise, the intervention will be given every day till the patient discharged from hospital. Patient will perform 5 sets. In each set, 10 times will be included

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pulse Oximeter	baseline and fourth week	Pulse oximetry is a simple and non-invasive method used to examine oxygen saturation (SpO2) in various parts of body. Convenient use, speed and high accuracy in detection of hypoxia and continuous monitoring of patients are other features of pulse oximetry
Modified MRC Dyspnea Scale	baseline and fourth week	Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scale the first clinical scale for the determination of dyspnea, is a 5-point scale based on the sensation of breathing difficulty experienced by the patient during daily life activities Patients, reading the 10 scale, are invited to recognize their own level of respiratory fatigue or, as is more often the case, the MRC can be directly administered
6-MWT	baseline and fourth week	For the performance ability in many cardiopulmonary diseases, the most commonly used assessment tool is six minute walk test (6MWT). It has been widely used in research to evaluate the exercise capacity of various patient population (15). The test is standardized and reproducible self-paced exercise test. Patient is being asked to walk in a long hallway corridor for 6 minute between two cones on a flat surface. Ask the patient to keep walking. If the patient feels dyspnea, he or she may sit for a while. In healthy subjects with no history of pulmonary disease, the 6-min walk distance ranges from 400 to 700 m
