Abstract

Purpose. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of Acapella versus Power lung on relieving dyspnea after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods. Sixty patients of both sex who underwent CABG surgery with age ranged from 40-50 years old participated in this study, They were randomly assigned into two equal experimental groups (n = 30), group (A) and group (B), (Group (A) received Acapella while Group (B) received Power Lung, each device conducted through a supervised session of three sets each one of 10 repetitions, two times daily from first day postoperative until the seventh day, in addition to routine physiotherapy program, Modified Borg scale was assessed for all patients before the beginning and after the end of this study. Results. there was a significant decrease in Modified Borg Scale score in both groups (A) and (B) by 44.07 % and 23.09 % respectively. Between-groups analysis showed a significant difference between both groups in favor of group (A) (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Acapella and Power Lung were most effective devices for improving dyspnea post CABG surgery with superiority for Acapella device.
