Description

Broad Topic Area/Title

The researchers evaluated the Surgical Ward-round Assessment to improve the management of surgical inpatients. The surgical ward round assessment tool (SWAT) was evaluated targeting the fully trained surgeons and trainee surgeons.

To evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative physiotherapy session to reduce respiratory complications / postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after upper abdominal surgery.

Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an assumption that is one of the elementary bases of the research. The surgical ward round assessment tool (SWAT) improves surgical ward round skills.

“Preoperative education and breathing exercise training delivered within six weeks of surgery by physiotherapists reduces the incidence of PPCs after upper abdominal surgery” (p. 2). Thus, Preoperative physiotherapy reduces and prevents respiratory complications following upper abdominal surgery.
