Brief Summary:
This study examines the effects of coughing exercises and incentive spirometry (IS) on lung function and recovery in children who undergo heart surgery. The main goals are to see:
How coughing exercises and IS affect breathing and lung function after surgery? How these exercises influence overall recovery after surgery? Children who participate will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: coughing exercises, IS, or standard care. Those in the exercise groups will perform their assigned breathing exercises every 3 hours for the first 3 days after surgery. Daily check-ups will be conducted to monitor their progress, lung function, and oxygen levels.
The study will measure breathing ability, oxygen levels, and recovery milestones to find out which method is most effective in preventing lung complications and helping children recover faster.

Detailed Description:
This clinical trial evaluates the effects of coughing exercises and incentive spirometry (IS) on postoperative respiratory outcomes and recovery in children undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
The study aims to answer:
How do coughing exercises and IS influence lung function and breathing after surgery? How do they affect overall recovery, including physical comfort, oxygenation, and prevention of pulmonary complications?
Eligible children aged 6 to 18 years will be randomly assigned to one of three groups:
Coughing exercises group Incentive spirometry group Standard care group Children in the intervention groups will perform the assigned exercises every 3 hours for the first 3 days after surgery. All participants will receive daily monitoring, including vital signs, oxygen saturation, lung function assessment, and observation of postoperative recovery indicators such as feeding tolerance and mobility.
The study will assess primary outcomes such as postoperative respiratory function using a standardized respiratory score, and secondary outcomes including postoperative recovery indicators (quality of recovery scores), incidence of pulmonary complications, and length of stay in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU).
This research will help identify the most effective method for improving respiratory outcomes, reducing complications, and supporting faster recovery in children after cardiac surgery.
