The Effect of Chest Physiotherapy After Bariatric Surgery on Pulmonary Functions, Functional Capacity, and Quality of Life

Adding autogenic drainage to chest physiotherapy after upper abdominal surgery: effect on blood gases and pulmonary complications prevention. Randomized controlled trial

“…Chest physiotherapy is the main and most important treatment strategies for prevention of PPCs. 23 The results from the present study are consistent with those of Duymaz et al, 24 who demonstrated that, in subjects undergoing bariatric surgery, postoperative chest physiotherapy regulated their arterial blood gases, improved oxygen saturation and respiratory functions and reduced dyspnea levels. It improved SaO 2 , PaO 2 and pH by 15%, 18% and 7% respectively, compared with the preoperative values.…”

“…Furthermore, in a study evaluating chest physiotherapy and mobilization versus mobilization alone, which were applied among 74 subjects who underwent bariatric surgery, chest physiotherapy improved postoperative respiratory functions, decreased dyspnea levels, increased oxygen saturation, regulated arterial blood gases and improved functional capacity and quality of life. 24 Additionally, Lunardi et al 25 compared the effect of chest physical therapy versus no treatment on the incidence of PPCs in patients who underwent esophagostomy surgery.…”

“…In addition, the current findings were in line with a previous study that demonstrated significant improvements in all parameters for patients undergoing chest physiotherapy compared with the control group. 30 The findings of the current study indicate a slight but significant improvement in total lung capacity, functional residual capacity and residual volume in the study group when compared with the control group. These current findings were in agreement with a previous study, 31 which reported a significant increase in maximum inspiratory pressure in the training group.…”
