Autogenic Drainage Effect on Blood Gases and Prevention of Pulmonary Complication After Upper Abdominal Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Postoperative Complications
• Interventions: Procedure: autogenic drainage

• Registration Number: NCT04446520
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Purpose: This study will find out the effect of Autogenic drainage on the prevention of pulmonary complications after upper abdominal surgery. Method: Sixty patients post upper abdominal surgeries will be included, their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years old. The patients will be divided into two groups, study group (A) include patients that receive first traditional physiotherapy (localized breathing exercise, diaphragmatic breathing, and splinted coughing) then autogenic drainage (B)-Group B: patients that receive traditional physiotherapy (localized breathing exercise, diaphragmatic breathing and splinted coughing)
