Objectives: To investigate the influence of inspiratory muscle training in chest expansion of post CABG patients. Methods: Five post-operative CABG patients with respiratory complications were taken for this study. Subjects were asked to perform inspiratory exercises for three consecutive days 10 times every 2 hours when a patient awake. To assess impact of this training we examined chest expansion during inspiration and expiration at two levels one at upper chest at 3rd intercostal space and second at lower chest at the xiphoid process with a measuring tape. Result: Post test result shown, an increasing trend in chest expansion was observed at both the levels in the third post-operative day. But, it was significantly noticed that the chest expansion at the level of 3rd intercostal space increased greatly to about 0.5cm to 1cm as compared to the level of the xiphoid process. Conclusion: This study stated that use of incentive spirometer exercise affects the chest expansion in post- CABG patients were clinically significant. Key words: CABG, inspiratory muscle training, chest expansion, incentive spirometry
