Breathing exercise device for recovery after heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new breathing exercise device designed to help your lungs recover after heart surgery. It may make your breathing easier and speed up your return to daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a specific heart surgery (bypass or valve repair/replacement) through a cut down the middle of your chest.
- Your heart failure symptoms are mild or absent (Class I or II on the NYHA scale).
- You have no long-term lung disease, no uncontrolled heart rhythm or blood pressure problems, and no recent history of collapsed lung.
- You have not had another surgery in the last six months.
- Your thinking and memory are normal (score above 24 on a mental status test).

This trial tests if an AI-assisted breathing exercise device can reduce pain, fatigue, and improve breathing in patients recovering from open heart surgery.
This study compares two types of breathing exercises after heart bypass surgery to see which helps your lungs recover better. It may help you regain your lung function faster after surgery.
This study tests whether a special reminder device helps people do their breathing exercises more often after surgery. You will use a breathing exercise tool (incentive spirometer) with or without a reminder that beeps or flashes to prompt you to use it.
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
This study tests a breathing treatment using mild air pressure after heart surgery to help your lungs work better and reduce complications. It may be an option for people at higher risk for lung problems or those with early breathing issues after surgery.
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation help patients recover better after heart surgery, especially those who feel short of breath. You'll work with a physiotherapist to learn techniques that may reduce breathing problems and improve your recovery.
