Can Breathing Exercise Reduce Pulmonary Complications in Rib Fractures: Randomized Prospective Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug, Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Respiratory physiotherapy is routinely performed after thoracic surgery operations to increase lung expansion and prevent pulmonary complications such as atelectasis and pneumonia. It is a controversial issue whether respiratory physiotherapy reduces pulmonary complications in rib fractures. In our study, patients with rib fractures will be divided into two groups. In the control group, standard treatment consisting of routine analgesic treatments will be applied. In the other group, respiratory physiotherapy will be applied with triflu for 8 hours a day. At the end of the study, pulmonary complications in both groups will be compared.
