Protocol summary

Study aim
I.To determine the effect preoperative use of an Incentive Spirometer has on preventing postoperative pulmonary complications among cardiac surgical patients. III.To determine the demographic and clinical factors associated with increased risk for the development of postoperative pulmonary complications following cardiac surgeries.
Design
Interventional, prospective, randomized
Settings and conduct
The study will be conducted in three centers in the city of Baghdad, including Ibn Al-Nafees Cardiology Hospital, Iraqi center for heart diseases, Ibn Al-Bitar center for cardiac surgery
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
 Inclusion criteria:  Patients who will agree to participate in the study based on their informed consent.  Patients who undergo open heart surgery including ( coronary and valvular) procedures  Exclusion criteria:  thoracic, abdominal, or cerebral aneurysms  Recent cardiothoracic or abdominal surgery.
Intervention groups
Patients allocated to the intervention group were trained to use the IS, they were asked to maintain sitting position, hold the IS in an upright position, place the lips tightly around the mouthpiece and perform slow and deep inhalation in order to raise the balls in the chambers one by one gradually to set the target of 1.200 cc. At maximum inhalation, the mouthpiece is removed, followed by a breath-hold and normal exhalation. Patients were asked to repeat the maneuver in a set of ten times hourly while awake until the day of the surgical operation.
Main outcome variables
Primary outcomes: The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, which are scored by a pulmonologist who is blinded to patients’ allocation

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: The starting point of the intervention phase will start by instructing patients undergoing open heart surgeries to use Incentive Spirometer (IS) which is a mechanical device that provides patients with visual reinforcement to inhale in a deep and slow manner to enhance lungs reinflation which treat or prevent atelectasis, intervention group will use the IS hourly while awake for two days prior to surgery .The intervention group will be observed for 7 days to see the influence of the given intervention on preventing pulmonary complications.
Category
Treatment - Devices

2

Description
Control group: Control group will not use Incentive Spirometer(IS) before surgery ,instead they will receive the standard usual care provided by health care professionals. Control group will be be observed for 6 days to compare the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications with those of the intervention group.
