Summary

This study tested a breathing exercise called the Active Cycle Breathing Technique in 120 adults who had just had heart surgery. The exercise combines gentle breathing control, deep breaths, and controlled coughing or huffing. Researchers wanted to see if it could improve breathing, reduce pain, and lessen fear of shortness of breath. Results may help patients recover more comfortably after cardiac surgery.
