Mobilisation and breathing exercises after abdominal surgery
Part of Digestive system 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 two breathing techniques (ACBT and blow bottle) to help people recover lung function after abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. If you have trouble coughing up mucus or need extra oxygen after surgery, you may benefit.
This trial tests whether a teaching method called 'teach-back' helps people better learn and perform breathing exercises and use a spirometer after abdominal surgery. You might benefit if you are having abdominal surgery and need to do these exercises after your operation.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether specific body positions and breathing techniques after heart surgery can reduce lung problems like pneumonia or fluid buildup. You would receive these techniques during recovery to help your lungs heal better.
