Rehabilitation towards functional independence in patient with abdominal tuberculosis undergone abdominal surgery: a case report

Abstract

A small bowel obstruction is one of the most prevalent life-threatening situations. The most common clinical signs are vomiting, stomach discomfort, abdominal distension, and severe constipation. A 23-year-old girl presented to the multispecialty hospital with stomach pains that had persisted for two days. The patient experienced identical issues two months earlier and was treated conservatively. Radiography in the manner of abdominal X-ray and ultrasound were used to appropriately diagnose intestinal blockage. She underwent exploratory laparotomy for the same. Numerical pain rating scale, Incentive Spirometer (IS), mobility scale, anxiety and depression scale, independence measure were used as an outcome measure. Medical management was successful, but to return the patient to her normal daily routine activities without signs of dyspnea or early fatigue following abdominal surgery, a comprehensive rehabilitation program incorporating various respiratory techniques was developed, which proved to be effective and correlated with medically substantial gains in physical functioning and wellbeing.

Intestinal Obstruction for Anisakiasis: Surgical and Physical Therapy Treatment

“…Additionally, it is worth noting that physiotherapy treatment plays a crucial role in achieving functional recovery following such a significant surgical intervention. Early mobilization programs have been shown to facilitate recovery after abdominal surgery [ 21 , 25 ]. Active patient participation and targeted scar treatment can help prevent complications, similar to the benefits observed with physiotherapy intervention in the aftermath of cesarean section procedures [ 26 ].…”

“…The physiotherapy treatment focused on mobility exercises for the upper and lower extremities, respiratory physiotherapy, active exercises for overall mobility (such as walking and movements related to basic daily activities), and strength exercises with resistance training [ 21 ]. The pulsed negative pressure procedure, utilizing the Physium ® Vacuum Treatment device, specifically targeted scar tissue to prevent adhesions and myofascial retraction that could limit mobility [ 22 ].…”

Postoperative outcome analysis of left-sided idiopathic diaphragmatic hernia: a case report

“…Active mobilization followed by physiotherapy treatment increases Muscle Strength, and Functional Independence, if initiated within the starting days of ICU admission [ 9 ]. Physiotherapy involving lung fields have generally been a prominent regimen of post-operative treatment following abdominal surgery, to limit or minimize problems such as lung atelectasis, pneumonia, sputum retainment, and restrictive lung pathology with alterations in pulmonary structures [ 10 ]. Implementing the Autogenic Drainage technique into routine chest physiotherapy after upper abdominal surgery improves blood gases exchanges, shortens hospital stay, and is associated with a lower percentage of pulmonary complications.…”
