Bypass surgery के बाद करिये ये exercise for healthy lungs

Chest physiotherapy after open-heart surgery is an essential part of recovery, aimed at improving lung function, preventing complications like pneumonia or atelectasis, and promoting better breathing. Here’s a concise overview 👇 1. Purpose: Clear secretions and mucus from the lungs. Improve ventilation and oxygenation. Prevent post-operative chest infections and collapse of lung segments. Promote early mobilization and faster recovery. 2. Common Techniques: Deep Breathing Exercises: Inhale deeply, hold for 2–3 seconds, then exhale slowly. Incentive Spirometry: Encourages lung expansion; patients use a device to take slow, deep breaths. Huff Coughing: Gentle coughing technique to clear mucus without putting strain on the chest wound. Positioning and Early Mobilization: Sitting up, standing, and walking early after surgery to improve lung expansion. Splinting During Coughing: Hugging a pillow against the chest incision while coughing or sneezing to reduce pain and protect the wound. 3. Frequency: Usually done every 1–2 hours while awake in the early post-operative period. Gradually reduced as lung function improves. 4. Precautions: Avoid excessive force during coughing. Pain should be well-controlled before physiotherapy. Always follow guidance from a cardiac physiotherapist or doctor.
