Effectiveness of Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax Patients

Our aim in conducting this study is to examine the effect of bronchial hygiene techniques and respiratory retraining techniques on the duration of drain and hospital stay in patients undergoing tube thoracostomy due to secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. Between April 2016 and April 2020, a total of 49 patients (36 males, 13 females; mean age: 53.1±9.95 years; range, 38 to 82 years) with the diagnosis of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax were included in the study. Two groups were formed. Bronchial hygiene and respiratory retraining techniques were applied to group 1 consisting of 26 patients. Only bronchial hygiene techniques were applied to group 2 consisting of 23 patients. Patients' age, gender, smoking, duration of drain, length of hospital stay was evaluated. There were no statistically significant differences in the age, sex, smoking between the groups (p>0.05). In the group 1, there was a statistically significant decrease in the duration of drain, length of hospital stay compared to the group 2 after the treatment (p
