Deep Breathing Exercises and Incentive Spirometry After Rib Fracture
Comparison Between Deep Breathing Exercises and Incentive Spirometry After Rib Fracture
Samsun University
104 participants
Feb 15, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Chest trauma patients constitute approximately 10-15% of all traffic accidents. Many complications may occur after chest trauma, including rib fracture, pneumothorax, hemothorax, lung contusion, flail chest, atelectasis, respiratory failure and even death. Atelectasis is the most common of these complications. This study planned to investigate the effects of spirometry and deep breathing exercises on oxygenation after rib fracture.

- Patients who developed rib fractures due to thoracic trauma
Exclusion Criteria4
- Patients who are unconscious
- Patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma
- Patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16
- Patients who require mechanical ventilation
