Contrasting effects of three breathing techniques on pulmonary function, functional capacity and daily life functional tasks in patients following valve replacement surgery- A pilot randomized clinical trial

Contrasting effects of three breathing techniques on pulmonary function, functional capacity and daily life functional tasks in patients following valve replacement surgery- A pilot randomized clinical trial

Background: Valve replacement surgeries affect the physiological mechanisms of patients leading to various postoperative pulmonary complications. Lung expansion therapy consisting of numerous techniques is routinely used for the prevention and treatment of these complications. Objectives: Our study...
