Key result
Physical exercise significantly improved the recovery of consciousness in post-operative patients with general anesthesia compared to no physical exercise (p=0.000).
Why the study?
Early after surgery with general anesthesia, risks such as aspiration and decreased ventilation can occur, prompting investigation into whether physical exercise aids the recovery of consciousness.
Does physical exercise improve recovery of consciousness in post operative patients with general anesthesia?
Does physical exercise improve recovery of consciousness in post operative patients with general anesthesia?
Absolute Event Rate: 10% vs 9.3%
p-value: p=0.000
Physical exercise early post-surgery may significantly improve the recovery of consciousness in patients who received general anesthesia.
Early physical exercise may hasten consciousness recovery after general anesthesia; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
General anesthesia is one of the techniques that is often chosen in performing surgery as a painkiller when going through surgery, followed by loss of consciousness. Early post-surgery there may be aspiration and decreased ventilation. This study aims to find out the effect of physical exercise to recovery of consciousness of post operative patients with general anesthesia. This study is Pre experimental with one shot case study design with 20 respondents. The technique used to collect samples is purposive sampling. Instruments in this study used Aldrete score. The data analysis showed an average difference in the aldrete score scoring of the control and the intervention group (4), (4), (6.1), (7.8), (8.3), (9.3) and (4), (6), (9.3), (9.9), (9.9), (10). The results of the data analysis showed a signification value of 0.000 ( < 0.05), which means there was a difference in consciousness recovery between the intervention group and control group

Hapipah et al. (2020) studied Post-operative patients with general anesthesia (n=20). Physical exercise (deep breath exercises, effective coughs, and range of motion) vs. No physical exercise was evaluated on Recovery of consciousness (Aldrete score) (p=0.000). Physical exercise significantly improved the recovery of consciousness in post-operative patients with general anesthesia compared to no physical exercise (p=0.000).
