ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying two different breathing techniques, called ACBT and the Blow Bottle Technique, to see which one helps patients recover better after having abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. After such surgeries, patients often face issues with lung function, which can lead to complications and a longer hospital stay. The researchers want to find out if one of these techniques is more effective in helping clear mucus from the lungs and improving breathing.

Eligible participants are men and women aged 30 to 50 who are scheduled for elective abdominal surgeries like gallbladder removal or hysterectomy. The trial will involve 44 patients, with half using the ACBT technique and the other half using the Blow Bottle Technique, each for two sessions a day over five days. The study will measure how well each technique helps with lung function both before and after the treatment. If you or someone you know fits the age and surgery criteria, this trial could offer an opportunity to potentially improve recovery after surgery.
