Abstract
Purpose of study: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Balloon Blowing exercise and Incentive Spirometry in patients with chest intubation after trauma. Methodology: This study was conducted in the Department of Surgery in Sheikh Zayed, Medical College and Hospital, from 1st September 2014 to 15th october 2014. It was a randomized controlled trial study. This study included 60 patients (30 in each group). Both groups were selected on the basis of chest trauma with chest intubation. A questionnaire which consisted of demographic (age and gender) data and measuring variables (Force vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, oxygen saturation, respiration rate and chest expansion) was filled by the participants. Group 1 used incentive spirometry method and group 2 used balloon blowing exercise method. Results: Concluded that the pre and post treatment differences are found statistically significant. The pre and post differences in incentive spirometry group and balloon blowing group found a significant improvement in breathlessness with the p-value 0.00 for FVC, FEV1, SPO, RR and chest expansion. The post treatment differences between 2 groups are found statistically insignificant. The p-values for FVC, FEV1, SPO, RR and chest expansion were 0.660, 1.00, 0.216, 0.927 and 0.636 respectively. Comparing these p-values at significance level 0.05 are insignificant. Conclusion: The study implies that both incentive spirometry and balloon blowing exercise are equally effective.Biography
