About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effects of Preoperative Breathing Exercises on ORI (Oxygen Reserve Index) and ETO2 in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgery

The aim of this observational study is to compare the effects of preoperative breathing exercises during the preoxygenation period in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Patients who are planned for abdominal surgery under elective conditions and who meet the inclusion criteria will be divided into 2 groups after routine preoperative preparations. The 1st group will start at least 5 days before the preoperative period and until the preoperative period, a minimum of 5 minutes of effective triflo exercise will be performed 4 times a day under the supervision of a nurse, and the 2nd group (control group) will not be exercised except for routine preoperative preparation. Age, existing chronic diseases, body mass index, haemoglobin levels, smoking status, presence or absence of lung disease, SpO2 values before and at the end of respiratory exercise (in the preoperative respiratory exercise group) will be recorded. All patients will be monitored with ECG, SpO2, non invasive blood pressure, Masimo. After the patients are taken to the operating table, they will be preoxygenated with oxygen at FiO2 100% at 10 L\min in supine position, with the anaesthesia mask placed on the patient's face so that there is no leakage. Patients will be preoxygenated until ETO2 concentration reaches 85%. When preoxygenation is started, the timer will be started and the time to reach ORI:0.55 and the time to reach ETO2 85% will be measured and recorded with a timer. Preoxygenation time will be limited to a maximum of 5 minutes and patients who do not reach ETO2 concentration 85% or ORI:0.55 within 5 minutes will be noted.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control (C)Patients in the control group who will undergo abdominal surgery will not be given any breathing exercises other than routine preoperative preparation. After appropriate anesthesia preparation, preoxygenation will begin.
Triflo (T)The patient group who receives breathing exercises will be given effective triflo exercise under the supervision of a nurse, starting with hospitalization at least 5 days before the operation and until the pre-operative period. Triflo working time will be planned to be minimum 5 minutes 4 times a day. Breathing exercise will be performed with both inhalation and exhalation. After appropriate anesthesia preparation, preoxygenation will begin.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration (sec) for end-tidal oxygen level to rise to 85% (time frame: Between 0th minute and 5th minute of preoxygenation period). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06401096, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
