A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Cold Application versus Breathing Exercises to Reduce Pain and Anxiety during Chest Tube Removal among Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Adult Patient in CTVS Ward KGMU Lucknow

Background Inserting chest tube following any chest trauma or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery is a frequent practice. This severe pain results due to chest endothelial tissue which is adhered to the tube tip and at the time of tube removal the pulling force will shear this adhesion and cause severe pain.1According to American Heart Association, annually more than 448,000 patients undergo cardiothoracic surgery annually including coronary artery bypass grafting CABG , valve replacement or repair, or repair of structural defects. Insertion of chest tubes CT after CABG was done to maintain heart and lung functioning and essential to prevent from pleural effusion, pneumothorax and hemothorax. Akhilesh Chauhan | Rashmi P.
