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.
