Mobilisation and breathing exercises after abdominal surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a supervised program of moving and breathing exercises helps patients recover faster after open or robot-assisted abdominal surgery. It may reduce complications and speed up return to daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having open or robot-assisted abdominal surgery (planned or emergency)
- Your surgery is expected to take more than 4 hours while under anesthesia
- You will be woken up (extubated) while still on the operating table
- You will stay overnight in the post-surgery recovery ward

This study tests whether adding breathing and mobility exercises to standard care helps people recover better after heart surgery. It may help reduce shortness of breath and improve your ability to move around.
This study tests whether breathing exercises can help people recovering from weight loss (bariatric) surgery. It may improve your breathing and recovery after the procedure.
This study tests whether certain body positions and breathing exercises (called ACBT) can help prevent lung problems after heart surgery. It may help you recover faster and avoid complications like pneumonia.
This study tests whether doing arm exercises combined with deep breathing helps recovery after open-heart surgery. Researchers want to see if breathing exercises during movement improves lung function and overall healing in patients recovering in the ICU.
This study tests whether giving patients extra breathing support before, during, and after major abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications like pneumonia or breathing difficulties. The goal is to help patients recover more smoothly.
