This case was hypoxia caused by opisthotonic hypertonus and week respiration. In supine position, arterial blood gas pressure was very poor. But I found that breathing assist technique made the gas pressure improve from PaO
2 43.8 mmrlg, PaCO
2 45.4mmHg to PaO
2 83.9 mmHg, PaCO
2 39.5 mmHg. The therapy was given to this case in relaxed sitting position. This pre-operative trial made the operation possible with immediately post chest physical therapy.
Intensive chest physical therapy was designed right after post-operation. The physical therapy contained relaxation, breathing assist with specific technique such as spring action technique and facilitation technique to diaphragm.
As a result, the patient did not fall into respiratory failure after operation and 40 days later he was trasferred to rehabilitation center hospital.
