Effect of Early Low Resisted Exercise With Blood Flow Restriction on Pulmonary Function in Post Cardiac Surgery Patient
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
After cardiac surgery Patients present a loss of exercise capacity, muscle mass, and quality of life Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation aims to reduce the loss of muscle strength, size and increase cardiopulmonary function so that quality of life is maintained as much as possible after open-heart surgeries. Traditionally, cardiac rehabilitation consist of low-intensity aerobic exercise. Therefore, cardiac rehabilitation should include not only aerobic but also resistance training (RT),. A safe and effective version of RT is needed that can still improve muscle strength and size in patients early after cardiac surgery,It is found that BFR can achieve the same result with low intensity which is suitable for patient post cardiac surgery,so the result of this study will provide a safe resisted exercise useful for post cardiac surgery patient

Interventions
traditional cardiac rehabilitation with early low resisted exercise with blood flow restriction
Traditional cardiac rehabilitation and early low resisted exercise with 0.5 kilogram in form of bilateral upper limb exercise (elbow flexion and extension,wrist flexion and extension ) with external pressure applied with pressure cuff which determined by 40% of systolic blood pressure which applied on the proximal part of the arm,the frequency of exercise is once per day for 14 consecutive day and intensity determined by rate of perceived exertion scale
traditional cardiac rehabilitation
Diaphragmatic and costal breathing exercise, active assisted to active range of motion,percussion,splinted cough,early mobility, upper limb exercise with breathing and incentive spirometer
