    • Open heart surgery can lead to postoperative respiratory complications.
    • Maintaining optimal lung function is vital for patient recovery after cardiac procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline factors contributing to respiratory insufficiency post-cardiac surgery.
    • To describe a comprehensive chest physical therapy program for these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Overview of cardiac surgery procedures.
    • Identification of pre-, intra-, and post-operative risk factors for respiratory issues.
    • Description of a three-phase chest physical therapy regimen.
