Breathing exercises are commonly used after surgery to improve lung ventilation, enhance oxygenation, and support respiratory recovery. However, limited evidence is available comparing the effectiveness of segmental breathing exercises and active cycle breathing technique (ACBT) in patients after open heart surgery.\n\nThis randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of segmental breathing exercises and ACBT on dyspnea and cardiopulmonary parameters in adults undergoing open heart surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the segmental breathing exercise group, the ACBT group, or the standard care group during the postoperative period following extubation.\n\nCardiopulmonary parameters, including oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure, as well as dyspnea severity and postoperative pulmonary complications, will be assessed before and after the interventions.\n\nThe findings of this study may help identify the most effective breathing exercise technique for improving respiratory outcomes, reducing postoperative pulmonary complications, and supporting evidence-based postoperative rehabilitation after cardiac surgery.",[27,28,29,30],"Dyspnea","Cardiopulmonary Dysfunction","Postoperative Respiratory Dysfunction","Coronary Artery Disease",[32,33,34,35,36,37,38,27,39],"Open Heart Surgery","Cardiac Surgery","Breathing Exercises","Segmental Breathing Exercises","Active Cycle Breathing Technique","Postoperative Patients","Adult Patients","Cardiopulmonary Parameters","RECRUITING","2026-05-14",{"date":43,"type":44},"2026-05-18","ACTUAL",{"date":46,"type":44},"2026-01-02",{"date":48,"type":21},"2026-10-10",{"name":50,"class":51},"University of Baghdad","OTHER",3]
