      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: After allocation of patients by card allocation method into control and experimental groups through randomization in surgeon clinic by the surgeon. There will be one box and patients’ cards will be in sealed envelope with nothing written on envelope. Card will have patient hospital number and name. After completion of determined number of patients surgeon will pick half the number of envelope’s without opening the envelope and will designate to group A and the other equal half to group B. The baseline data will be taken that will include functional mobility scale for mobility assessment, Modified medical research council dyspnea scale for dyspnea, pulmonary complications by using chest Xray, chest expansion evaluation and Dyspnea (D-12) Questionnaire for shortness of breath. Then both groups will receive breathing exercises as per defined criteria for 3 weeks. After the completion of treatment at 3 weeks the data regarding functional mobility scale for mobility assessment, Modified medical research council dyspnea scale for dyspnea, pulmonary complications by using chest Xray, chest expansion evaluation and Dyspnea (D-12) Questionnaire for shortness of breath  will be taken for both groups of patients. It will be a prospective randomized clinical study where surgeon will be blind from on-pump and off-pump surgical procedure until he will open the envelope in preoperative room. The patient will be blind to the procedure both pre and postoperatively. And data analyzer will also be blind till getting the statistical results of techniques in both groups, Blinding description: Participant Blinding: The participants or patients undergoing the study would be kept unaware of certain key details. In this specific study, the patients might not be informed whether they are receiving "segmental" or "diaphragmatic" breathing exercises. They may also not know whether they are undergoing "on-pump" or "off-pump" coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This ensures that the patients' expectations and perceptions do not influence their responses or outcomes.
Researcher/Healthcare Provider Blinding: The healthcare providers and researchers involved in the study would also be blinded to certain information. For example, the therapists or clinicians responsible for administering the breathing exercises should not be aware of whether they are providing "segmental" or "diaphragmatic" exercises to the patients. Similarly, the surgical team would not know whether they are performing an "on-pump" or "off-pump" procedure.
Data Analyst Blinding: To maintain objectivity in data analysis, the individuals responsible for collecting and analyzing data would also be blinded to the treatment groups. In this case, the statisticians or data analysts should receive anonymized data without information about the specific treatment received by each patient. This prevents potential bias during the data analysis phase.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Coronary artery disease.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Segmental breathing exercise in which therapist will instruct the patients to inhale slowly through their nose, directing the air towards the target area. Physiotherapist will measure the expansion of that specific region through flexible curve as patient breathe in and out. Then therapist will give guide the patient to exhale slowly and completely through mouth, allowing the targeted area to relax. Diaphragmatic breathing exercise in which therapist will instruct the patient to start by taking a few slow, deep breaths through their nose. Guide the patient to inhale, physiotherapist will focus on expanding their abdomen, allowing it to rise and push their hand upward. Physiotherapist will guide the patients try to keep their chest relatively still during this phase. The patient will exhale slowly and completely through its mouth. As patient will exhale, therapist (WS) will measure patient’s abdomen falling and hand sinking back down through flexible curve. Ask the patient continue to breathe slowly and deeply in this manner, maintaining a relaxed and steady rhythm. Both techniques will be given to patients 2 sets once for 7days/week, (15 repetitions) for 15-20 minutes for 2 week preoperatively and postoperatively till discharged. Intervention 2: Control group: Incentive spirometry is a medical device and a respiratory therapy technique used to help patients improve their lung function, particularly after surgery or when they are at risk of developing respiratory complications. It encourages deep breathing and sustained lung inflation to prevent atelectasis (lung collapse) and other pulmonary problems. Ask the patient to inhale as slowly and as deeply as patient can through the mouthpiece or facemask to raise the indicator to the predetermined target or as instructed by  healthcare provider. Keep patients lips tightly sealed around the mouthpiece or maintain a snug fit with the facemask. After reached the target, hold his/her breath for about 3-5 seconds. This allows the air to reach the deeper parts of lungs and helps to open up the small air sacs (alveoli).Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth, emptying the lungs. Take a moment to rest and breathe normally for a few breaths. Perform this process for the prescribed number of breaths or as instructed by healthcare provider. Typically, patients are advised to do 5-10 repetitions every hour while awake for 1-2 weeks before operation.</i_freetext>
