Introduction: The number of major abdominal surgical procedures is increasing around the world. A large number of the patients complain about postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after abdominal surgery and show symptoms of breathing pattern disorder. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of deep breathing exercise on the oxygenation of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Methods: This single-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 40 patients who needed major abdominal surgery in Qom, Iran, in 2014. The participants were divided into two equal experimental (n=20) and control (n=20) groups. The cases in both groups received routine care, however, those in the experimental group exercised repeated deep breathing four times per hour for two consecutive hours after the surgery as well. The condition of the patients in both groups was similar in terms of position, mobility, and oxygen therapy. The patient’s oxygen saturation, respiratory rate (RR), heart rate, and the severity of pain in the surgery site were measured. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (Version. 18) using paired t-test, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Multiple regression analyses, Chi-square test, and Fischer’s exact test. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Based on the study findings, the deep breathing exercise significantly reduced the surgery site pain and mean blood pressure and increased O2 saturation in the experimental group after the intervention (P<0.05). Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups, and a significantly higher O2 saturation was observed in the experimental group after deep breathing exercise post-operation (β=2.01, P<0.001). Conclusion: Deep breathing exercises can reduce the severity of pain in the surgery site and mean arterial blood pressure and increase O2 saturation in patients after major abdominal surgery.

BACKGROUND Most of the patients experience post – operative pain and it is unavoidable. It is the duty of the nurses to ensure that patients' pain is assessed and managed effectively when they are at the hospital. Foot reflex therapy is one effective way the nurses can adopt to manage post-operative pain in patients. OBJECTIVE This study aims to prove the effectiveness of foot reflex therapy in post-operative pain in patients who are subjected to major abdominal surgery METHODS This is a descriptive randomized control study that was conducted in the period month of Jan 2012 to Sep 2013 at Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Hospital among 360 patients who underwent major abdominal surgery. They were equally divided into two groups as control and study group and the results were analyzed statistically. RESULTS A majority of the patients in the study group showed a positive effect in the 4th and 5th post-operative day following foot reflex therapy. CONCLUSIONS The pre – existing pain and the post – operative pain is managed as collaboration along with nurses, patients, their care takers or families whenever appropriate in a multidisciplinary manner. Foot reflex therapy is one such alternative complementary therapy which the nurses can adopt to work in this accord. CLINICALTRIAL Not Required. Ethics Committee Approval Obtained
