Hyperinflation Respiratory Therapies in Cardiac Surgery Patients (NCT04164173)
Hyperinflation Respiratory Therapies in Cardiac Surgery Patients: A Randomized, Observer-Blinded, Prospective Clinical Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical trial is to evaluate three different types of hyperinflation respiratory therapies, Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB), Intermittent positive end expiratory pressure (EzPAP), Metaneb. Investigators will examine which hyperinflation therapy provides better lung expansion and may improve lung recovery after surgery.
