Pulmonary complications are among the most frequently reported complications after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery . However the risk pf PPCs is not equal for all patients . The aim of this study was to investigate the response of arterial blood gases to positive end expiratory pressure post CABG surgery . Conclusion : It was concluded that PEEP in combination with routine chest physical therapy intervention had the effect of improving oxygenation and lowering PaCO₂ in patients who underwent CABG surgery
