Abstract
Background: Previous studies have revealed that incentive spirometer has effect on oxygen saturation, highlighted in many studies, however there is a lack of literature concerning its effect on renal patients in intensive care unit. Purpose of the Study: to find out the effect of incentive spirometer on oxygen saturation in patient in ICU. Subjects and Methods: Forty male patients with renal failure grade II were selected from intensive care unit department, El-Fayoum General Hospital and El-Fayoum university Hospital. Their mean ages range between 60 to 65 years old, mean height 170 to 177 Cm, mean weight 70 to 79 Kg and body mass index range between 22.86 to 26.33 Kg/m2 . They were assigned in to 2 groups (A,B) equally in number. group (A):Twenty patients received Incentive spirometer and traditional physiotherapy (circulatory ex, early mobilization and turning in bed) in addition to their routine medical treatment, group (B):Twenty patients received traditional physiotherapy (circulatory ex, early mobilization and turning in bed) and their routine medical treatment .they participated in a physical therapy program for two sessions per day for six days. oxygen saturation was measured before and after the study.Results:The results of this study found that, there was a statistically highly significant difference (P<0.19) in Sa02 ,% of improvement in oxygen saturation in group A and group B by 3.9% and 2.7% respectively
