Overview
Brief Summary
The eligibility of the candidate will be taken on the basis of inclusion criteria .
30 patients will be taken which has undergone mitral valve replacement surgery. Breath Stacking Technique will be applied to see the impact on these outcome measures.
Outcome Measures
Pulmonary capacity- specifically tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume(IRV) and inspiratory capacity(IC) by volume oriented spirometer .
Functional difficulties questionnaire (FD-Q) for Daily Life Functional Tasks
Treatment Plan
Patient will be positioned in a lying / long sitting position on the bed with continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters.
- Before initiating the breath stacking technique, deep breathing exercise will be taught to patient, steps will be :
Close your eyes : Close your eyes to help focus on your attention on your breathing. Breathe in slowly through your nose : Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose , focus on filling your lungs completely, allowing your abdomen to rise as you breath in , count to 4 as you inhale. Exhale slowly through your mouth : Exhale slowly through your mouth letting the air out gently. Make a “whooshing” sound if you like. Count to 6 or 8 as you exhale. Repeat the process : Repeat the breathing cycle for about 5 to10 breaths per minute . Aim for focusing on deep relaxed breathing.
- To initiate the Breath Stacking Technique, we will take the following steps :- Patient Position : Long sitting and comfortable position with relaxed shoulder , head and neck . Breath stack : Instruct patient to take a deep breath and 3-4 breath one over another till the fullness of chest experienced. Breath holding : Ask patient to hold the breath for a maximum 10 seconds. Expiration : and then expire by pursed lip breathing. Pause : There will be a gap of 15-30 seconds in each repetitions to allow relaxations. Repeat the process : 10 repetition of breath stacking technique.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Volume oriented spirometer for pulmonary capacity specifically tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) and
Time Frame: Pulmonary capacity specifically tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) and | inspiratory capacity (IC) will be measured by volume oriented spirometer from POD 1 to POD 7 | Daily Life Functional Tasks will be measured by Functional Difficulties questionnare (FDQ) on POD 1 and POD 7.
inspiratory capacity (IC).
Time Frame: Pulmonary capacity specifically tidal volume (TV), inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) and | inspiratory capacity (IC) will be measured by volume oriented spirometer from POD 1 to POD 7 | Daily Life Functional Tasks will be measured by Functional Difficulties questionnare (FDQ) on POD 1 and POD 7.
