Customizable respiratory exercise device for patients after cardiac surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates a customizable respiratory exercise device designed for individuals who have undergone cardiac surgery, specifically targeting those with coronary artery disease. The device aims to enhance respiratory muscle training through individualized breathing exercises, which can improve respiratory function and reduce postoperative complications. Participants will engage in respiratory training using an incentive spirometer and receive visual feedback to optimize their exercises. The study focuses on patients scheduled for elective surgeries such as coronary artery bypass grafting and valve replacements.
