  1. 1. Effects of Deep Breathing Exercises after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

    Författare :Elisabeth Westerdahl; Arne Tenling; Göran Hedenstierna; Birgitta Lindmark; Anders Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical therapy; atelectasis; breathing exercises; coronary artery bypass; computed tomography; physiotherapy; postoperative care; postoperative complications; respiratory function tests; thoracic surgery; Sjukgymnastik; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Deep breathing exercises are widely used in the postoperative care to prevent or reduce pulmonary complications, but no scientific evidence for the efficacy has been found after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The aim of the thesis was to describe postoperative pulmonary function and to evaluate the efficacy of deep breathing exercises performed with or without a blow bottle device for positive expiratory pressure (PEP) 10 cmH2O or an inspiratory resistance-positive expiratory pressure (IR-PEP) mask with an inspiratory pressure of -5 cmH2O and an expiratory pressure of +10 to +15 cmH2O.

  3. 2. Resistance breathing with PEP and CPAP : effects on respiratory parameters

    Författare :Maria Sehlin; Ola Winsö; Karin Wadell; Fredrik Öhberg; Monika Fagevik Olsèn; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chest physiotherapy; breathing exercises; PEP; CPAP; airway pressure; airflow; threshold resistor; flow resistor; inspiratory capacity; Borg CR10;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are two forms of resistance breathing used in spontaneously breathing patients. With a threshold resistor or a flow resistor, both PEP and CPAP provide a positive (elevated) pressure level during the expiratory phase. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assessment of chest physiotherapy in children

    Författare :Anna-Lena Lagerkvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :adolescent; airway disease; chest clapping; chest physiotherapy; child; cystic fibrosis; infant; mucus; multiple severe disabilities; non-cooperative; PEP; oscillating PEP; transcutaneous blood gas analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Chest physiotherapy (CPT) is used to improve the lung function and blood gas tensions in individuals with respiratory disease. The aim of this thesis was to assess and compare immediate effects of CPT with positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and oscillating PEP (OscPEP) on blood gas tensions in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), to assess effects of CPT with PEP in severely disabled children, to describe and evaluate a new CPT method for children who cannot co-operate, and to compare obtained results with chest clapping.

  5. 4. Dysfunctional breathing : Clinical characteristics and treatment

    Författare :Carina Hagman; Margareta Emtner; Christer Janson; Alf Tunsäter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :dysfunctional breathing; breathing pattern; breathing retraining; respiratory movement measuring instrument; respiratory symptoms; respiratory-related activity limitations; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Dysfunctional breathing (DB) is a respiratory disorder involving an upper chest breathing pattern and respiratory symptoms that cannot be attributed to a medical diagnosis.Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe patients with DB and investigate clinical outcomes after physiotherapy treatment.

  7. 5. Glossopharyngeal breathing

    Författare :Malin Nygren-Bonnier; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Airway clearance; breathing exercise; buoyancy; chest expansion; cough; glossopharyngeal breathing; maximum insufflation capacity; pulmonary function; physiotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: The technique of glossopharyngeal breathing was introduced already in the 1950 s, but today, few health professionals are aware of its uses. The technique is performed by using the glossopharyngeal muscles to piston boluses of air into the lungs. LÄS MER
