Controversy exists regarding the routine use of aids to lung expansion in the prevention of pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery. We prospectively randomized 172 patients into 1 of 4 groups: the control group (44 patients) received no respiratory treatment, the IPPB group (45 patients) received intermittent positive pressure breathing therapy for 15 min 4 times daily, the IS group (42 patients) was treated with incentive spirometry 4 times daily, and the DBE group (41 patients) carried out deep breathing exercises under supervision for 15 min 4 times daily. Roentgenographic changes, observed 24 h after surgery, were comparable in the 4 groups (20.5 to 36.6%). Pulmonary complications were defined as the development of 3 or more of 6 new findings: cough, phlegm, dyspnea, chest pain, temperature greater than 38° C, pulse rate more than 100 beats/min. The frequency of development of pulmonary complications was 48% in the control group, 22% in the IPPB group (p < 0.05), 21% in the IS group (p < 0.05), and 22% in the DBE group (p < 0.05). Side effects of respiratory treatment were observed only in the IPPB group (18%; p < 0.05). Hospital stay in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery was significantly shorter in the IS group (mean ± SD, 8.6 ± 3 days) than in the control group (13 ± 5 days). This difference was not observed for the other 2 treatment groups. We conclude that IPPB, IS, and DBE were equally effective in preventing pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery, although IS may be the treatment of choice in upper abdominal procedures, because there are no complications of this treatment and it appears to shorten the length of hospitalization.
