About the Cover

The most prevalent reasons for respiratory physiotherapy treatment include pulmonary issues, decreased functional ability, and limitation of movement as a result of heart surgery. The objectives of this case study were to define the use of pre-operative and post-operative protocols in cardiac surgery patients. Physiotherapy was prescribed for 49-year-old female patient detected having rheumatic cardiac disorder having heavy aortic stenosis with mitral stenosis. Breathlessness and pedal edoema were the patient's main complaints, and he had a history of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea. The patient was given pre-operative physiotherapy treatment, which included breathing exercises and ambulation, as well as patient education, prior to cardiac surgery. Following surgery, the patient received Phase 1 in-patient cardiac rehabilitation, which included patient education, sternal precautions, lung cleanliness, bed mobility, and early mobilisation. The data in this case report suggests that the patient’s health improved as a result of pre-operative and post-operative care (Ref: Parkhi RB, Jain MJ, Bhakaney PR, Vardhan VD, Yadav VD.
