Brief Summary

the study attempted to assess and evaluate the efficacy of implementing chest expansion exercises on patients with pleural effusion and how this programme contribute to reduce pulmonary infection and complications. To address the objective of the study, the researcher utilized chest expansion exercises consisted of stacked breathing exercise, segmental breathing, chest mobility exercises, deep breathing exercise with use of incentve spirometer and assess the patient before and after exercises by using three tools help to monitor hemodynamic parameters, chest condition, laboratory investigations which help to evaluate pulmonary infection score and complications.

Conditions

Pulmonary Infection; Complication

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• score of pulmonary infection

  through the study pulmonary infection will be assessed by using pulmonary infection score by assessing parameters as WBCs, temperature and chest condition

  1 year

• rate of complications

  complications will be assessed through the study by using evaluation outcomes tool

Study Arms (2)

intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention group was received Chest mobility exercises with Incentive spirometer and segmental breathing exercise and breath stacking technique . The patient in the intervention group was instructed to perform the exercises 3 times per day, 7-8 times per session for one week. Ensure that the patient fully hydrated by maintaining normal daily water requirement in the form of (30-35ml/kg/day) with restriction of intravenous fluids.

Procedure: chest expansion exercises

control group
