To determine the effects of preoperative segmental breathing exercise on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients awaiting coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This study will be a randomized controlled trial. This study will be conducted in cardiac surgery department at Faisalabad institute of cardiology. sample size will be 44including both male and female. Non- probability purposive sampling technique will be used. Modified healthy heart questionnaire will be used as a screening tool. Baseline, postoperatively before discharge at week 5 assessment will be done by 6-minute walk test. Subjects in group A (interventional group) will be treated using segmental breathing exercises combined with Conventional Treatment (deep breathing exercise ) and the group B (control group) will be treated with only conventional treatment. Group-A (interventional group) will receive segmental breathing exercises for one month 5 days a week and 2 sessions per day for 15 minutes for each patient. conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2times a day. Dyspnea will be checked baselineand at week5 by modified Borg scale.Sputum cup was used for expectoration of sputum . Quality of life will be checked baseline and at week 5by SF-12 Questionnaire. Outcome variables will be 6MWT, dyspnea, quality of life, oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure and expectoration of sputum. Data will be analyzed on SPSS-25.

Group-A (interventional group) will receive segmental breathing exercises and deep breathing. segmental breathing exercise will be performed by taking a deep and long breath from nose patient inhale air in to lungs and in exhalation therapist will apply pressure on intercostal spaces at apical, lateral and posterior for one month 5 days a week and 2 sessions per day for 15 minutes for each patient. conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2 times a day.
conventional treatment will be for one month 5 days a week 10 to 15 repetitions of deep breathing exercise 2 times a day. . deep breathing exercise will be performed by taking a deep and long breath from nose patient inhale air in to lungs and will exhale through mouth.

Change in 6 minute walk test
The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.It measures the walking distance of subjects within a fixed time to quantify the functional capacity of the subjects, which refers to the total distance the subjects walked within 6 minutes.
Time frame: baseline and week 5
Change in Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale
The Modified Borg Dyspnea Scale (MBS) is a 0 to 10 rated numerical score used to measure dyspnea as reported by the patient during submaximal exercise and is routinely administered during six-minute walk testing (6MWT). It starts at number 0 where your breathing is causing you no difficulty at all and progresses through to number 10 where your breathing difficulty is maximal.
Time frame: baseline and week 5
Change in short form-12 Health related quality of life questionnaire
It is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. The SF-12v2 is a health-related quality-of-life questionnaire consisting of twelve questions that measure eight health domains to assess physical and mental health. Physical health-related domains include General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), and Body Pain (BP). short form-12 questionnaire will be used to measure quality of life in CABG patients. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.
Time frame: baseline and week 5
