Abstract
Background: Patients undergoing open abdominal surgery are the focus of this research, namely the effect of earlymobilisation on postoperative pulmonary problems. Early mobilization is proposed as a potential intervention toenhance respiratory function and reduce the risk of PPCs.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of pre-operative mobilisation on the incidence ofpulmonary complications in patients undergoing open abdominal surgery.Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study included 50 subjects who underwent open abdominalsurgery at Saveetha Medical Hospital, SIMTS. Convenient sampling was used to select the participants. Measuresof oxygen saturation (SPO2) and pulmonary function (FEV1) from a spirometer were employed as functionaloutcome indicators. After two weeks, participants were given a post-test to record their progress.Results: Data collected before and after early mobilisation exercise were analysed using a paired t-test. Theexperimental group showed significant improvements in SPO2, FIM, and FEV1 (P<0.0001), indicating highervalues post-intervention. Post-test demonstrated higher statistical significance compared to pre-test.Conclusion: As a result, it was shown that early mobilisation Exercise is beneficial for reducing pulmonarycomplications after surgery.
