Arm Exercises With and Without Deep Breathing After Heart Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
