Interventions

active cycle breathing OTHER

The active cycle breathing technique will involve three steps: breathing control, thoracic expansion exercise, and forced expiration technique, In breathing control, the patient will sit comfortably in a chair and breathe at a normal rate and depth using the lower chest. In the thoracic expansion exercise, the physical therapist rested his/her hands on the patient's epigastrium and guided the patient's breathing so that they breathed at a slow and deep rate using the lower chest, then held their breath for 2 s and fully exhaled; this was repeated two or three times, then the patient returned to breathing control. For the forced expiration technique, the physical therapist asked the patient to inhale deeply while simultaneously contracting the abdominal muscle and keeping the mouth and throat open. They then held their breath for 2 s, followed by vigorous exhalation

incentive spirometer OTHER

Incentive spirometry is accomplished by using a device that provides feedback when the patient inhales at a predetermined flow and sustains the inflation for at least 5 seconds. The patient is instructed to hold the spirometer in an upright position, exhale normally, and then place the lips tightly around the mouthpiece. The next step is a slow inhalation to raise the ball (flow-oriented) or the piston/ plate (volume-oriented) in the chamber to the set target. At maximum inhalation, the mouthpiece is removed, followed by a breath-hold and normal exhalation.
