Effect of Buteyko Breathing Technique as an Adjunct to Routine Physiotherapy on Pulmonary Functions in Patients Undergoing Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a substantial and increasing public health concern in India, particularly among individuals aged 20 and above. The postoperative phase following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery presents potential complications, notably impacting the pulmonary system. Emerging evidence suggests that the Buteyko breathing technique not only improves lung function but also positively influences the psychological well-being of CABG patients. This study seeks t… Show more

Background Pre-operative pulmonary function testing (PFT) plays a key role in predicting postoperative complications or functional impairment. However, PFT requires the subject and examiner to cooperate and the results are influenced by both technical and personal factors. In contrast, the use of ultrasound (US) for structural and functional assessments of the lungs and diaphragm is on the rise, as it requires minimal patient cooperation. Dyspnea is mainly caused by lung or pleural lesions but may also be caused by weak respiratory muscles. As the diaphragm is a primary respiratory muscle, combining lung ultrasonography (LUS) with diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) may enable a more comprehensive assessement of pulmonary function. This study aims to introduce a novel approach for assessing pulmonary function using a mathematical model based on LUS and DUS. Methods This prospective study was performed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between June 2021 and December 2021, 208 patients were recruited and underwent PFT, LUS, and DUS examinations. An experienced physician, blinded to the clinical history and PFT results, performed LUS and DUS and explored the correlations between a mathematical model (ultrasonographic modeling score (U-score)) using LUS combined with DUS and pulmonary function parameters. Univariate, multivariate, and logistic regression analyses were also performed. Results According to the univariate and multivariable analysis, diaphragm thickness fraction in deep breathing (D-DTF) (odds ratio (OR), 0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI) [0.83–0.94]; P < 0.001), and LUS score (OR, 1.44; 95% CI [1.16–1.80]; P < 0.001) were each independently associated with pulmonary function. According to the logistics equation, a U-score of −0.126 × D-DTF + 0.368 × LUS score was produced. The U-score showed a more significant negative correlation with forced expiratory volume in the first second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) (r = −0.605, P < 0.001) than the LUS or DUS indices alone. The U-score (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.971) was greater than the other indices for assessing pulmonary function. Conclusions With validation, the U-score through both lung and diaphragm ultrasound measurements may assist in estimating pulmonary function. This approach facilitates the assessment of pulmonary function in patients who may be unable to reliably participate in PFT.

Background and objectiveDiffuse coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with extensive involvement of coronary arteries, necessitating the use of long (≥40 mm) drug-eluting stents (DES) based on the lesion length. However, these long DES can lead to complications such as in-stent restenosis (ISR) and stent thrombosis. This study aimed to assess the safety, efficacy, and one-year clinical outcomes of using long DES in patients with diffuse CAD undergoing PCI at a tertiary care hospital in north India. MethodologyPatients with diffuse CAD undergoing PCI with long DES between January 2017 and June 2022 were included in the study. Baseline characteristics were recorded, and patients were followed up telephonically or in the outpatient department (OPD) at one, three, six, and 12 months following the PCI. The primary endpoint was the target lesion failure (TLF) rate, with secondary endpoints constituting all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), subacute stent thrombosis, and ISR. ResultsA total of 200 patients were recruited and followed up for one year. The median age of the patients was 58 years (range: 48.25-63 years), and 82% were men. The most frequently stented artery was the left anterior descending (LAD, 48%), followed by the right coronary artery (RCA, 36%). A total of 388 stents (mean: 1.94 ±0.79) were implanted, including both long and short stents. The mean length and diameter of long stents were 43.64 ±3.58 mm and 3 ±0.37 mm, respectively. At the one-year follow-up, patients undergoing PCI with long DES ≥40 mm had an overall TLF rate of 5%, all-cause mortality of 6% (12 patients), MACE of 6% (12 patients), subacute stent thrombosis of 4% (eight patients), and ISR of 1% (two patients). A large proportion of patients (90%) had an uneventful follow-up of up to a year. At the one-year follow-up, all 10 (5%) patients with a primary outcome had a smaller stent diameter than those without a primary outcome (2.5 ±0.25 mm vs. 3.03 ±0.35 mm, p=0.015). ConclusionsOur results suggest that using extremely long stents (>40 mm) for diffuse coronary lesions is safe, efficacious, and associated with relatively low event rates. In addition, the stent diameter has a substantial correlation with the primary outcome. Further studies with larger sample sizes as well as longer follow-up periods are required to validate our findings.
