Breathe easy: supervised breathing exercises may boost lung recovery after bypass surgery
NCT ID NCT07343921
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether having a supervisor guide breathing exercises helps heart bypass patients recover lung function better than doing them alone. Thirty-eight adults who had coronary artery bypass surgery did incentive spirometry (a breathing device) twice daily for three days, either with a coach or on their own. Researchers measured lung function before and after to see which group improved more.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
incentive spirometry (a breathing exercise device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that supervised breathing exercises help patients recover lung function faster after heart bypass surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The short 3-day follow-up limits conclusions about long-term benefits.
