Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of active breathing cycle technique on pain, anxiety and saturation Arterial blood oxygen in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery
Design
Parallel group randomized trial in which participants will be divided into two groups by permuted block randomization. Sample size was calculated 76.
Settings and conduct
After referring to the CCU and heart departments of Al-Zahra Heart Hospital in Shiraz, the researcher selects people according to the entry and exit criteria and includes them in the study if they give informed consent. In the intervention group, in addition to receiving routine care, breathing exercises are taught to the patients one day before the surgery by the researcher or the researcher's assistant, and after surgery and extubation, breathing exercises are taught on two consecutive days in two shifts, morning and evening. It is done with the guidance of the researcher. Patients in the control group will receive routine care, including the use of an incentive spirometer. In the intervention group, anxiety, pain and arterial blood oxygen saturation will be assessed once before the intervention and then after each time the active breathing cycle technique is performed. In the control group, the variables will be measured in the same time intervals.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients over 18 years of age who need coronary artery bypass surgery as determined by the doctor and have no history of open heart surgery
Intervention groups
In both groups, on the second day after the operation and extubation, all the variables will be measured, then in the intervention group active breathing cycle technique and in the control group, routine interventions will be performed. In both groups, all the variables will be measured. after interventions.
Main outcome variables
pain, anxiety, and blood oxygen saturation

Randomization description
After selecting eligible individuals to participate in the study based on inclusion criteria, these individuals will be assigned to two study groups based on double randomized permutation block with foursome blocks. The random list is generated by a statistician using "Random Allocation" software. Foursome blocks are the combination of different status such as: ABBA, BAAB, BABA, ABAB, BBAA, AABB. Using random list that is generated by computer,19 blocks will be selected to forme the two study groups.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group:In the intervention group, breathing exercises are taught to the patients one day before the surgery by the researcher or the researcher's assistant. From the second day after the surgery and extubation, in the morning and evening shifts, the patients are encouraged to use incentive spirometry as a routine care. They also practice and implement the active cycle of breathing technique. This technique is performed in three stages; The first step is breathing control. At this stage, breathing is done slowly through the nose. If it is not possible for the patient to breathe through the nose, it is done through the mouth with pursed lips. During this stage, the patient is encouraged to keep his peace by closing his eyes and keeping himself away from any tension. The second step is to practice expanding the chest wall to provide airflow in the small airways. At this stage, air flows deeply, slowly and continuously through the nose into the lungs, so that the chest wall expands. The air is held for 2 to 3 seconds and then slowly exhaled through the mouth. This step is repeated 3 times. The final stage is the coughing stage and an integral part of this technique. In this stage, coughing is done through the mouth and throat. For this purpose, the patient takes a deep breath with the mouth open and with the help of respiratory muscles and then coughs. Active breathing cycle technique will be perform from the day after extubation of each patient in two days and in two shifts, morning and evening. Each time will be 3 sessions and each session will last for 10 minutes with a 15 minute break between them. In addition to the active breathing cycle technique, the patients in the intervention group will receive routine care including the use of an incentive spirometer. The level of anxiety, pain and arterial blood oxygen saturation will be assessed by the researcher or research assistant once before the intervention and then after each time the active breathing cycle technique is performed.

Description
Control group:In the control group, patients receive the usual care, which includes the use of an incentive spirometer, according to the hospital routine. Breathing with a spirometer takes 10 to 20 deep breaths in each shift; This breathing is done in such a way that after the end of inhalation, the patient holds his breath for three seconds and by removing the device, exhales slowly through the mouth. This breathing exercise is performed in every shift until the patient is discharged. It is done sitting or semi-sitting, and after performing this technique, the level of anxiety, pain, and oxygen saturation of the arterial blood of the patients is measured from the day after the extubation of each patient in two days and in two shifts, morning and evening, by the researcher or the researcher's assistant
