Official title
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Respiratory Muscle Training with a Mobile Application in the Early Postoperative Period After Lobectomy
Overview
It has been observed that there are negative effects on respiratory muscle strength following lobectomy. This has led to the necessity of respiratory muscle training to mitigate these adverse effects. Most studies conducted so far focus on the late postoperative period, and there are only a few studies evaluating the effectiveness of early postoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT). It is believed that this method could be useful for facilitating patient follow-up and increasing patient motivation through visual feedback.
Detailed description
It has been observed that there are negative effects on respiratory muscle strength following lobectomy. This has led to the necessity of respiratory muscle training to mitigate these adverse effects. Most studies conducted so far focus on the late postoperative period, and there are only a few studies evaluating the effectiveness of early postoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT). Additionally, there is currently no study assessing the effectiveness of IMT using a smart adapter in patients who have undergone lobectomy. It is believed that this method could be useful for facilitating patient follow-up and increasing patient motivation through visual feedback. The aim of this study is to examine the changes in respiratory muscle strength and exercise capacity in patients after lobectomy via VATS, comparing classical IMT, mobile application-supported IMT, and a control group that does not receive IMT.
Interventions
- Other inspiratory muscle exercise
Inspiratory muscle training will be given with or without smart adaptor.
Primary outcome measures
- Inspiratory muscle strength [Time frame: Measurements will be performed before surgery (the day before surgery), at discharge and during the follow-up period after surgery (10-15 days after discharge).]
- Expiratory muscle strength [Time frame: Measurements will be performed before surgery (the day before surgery), at discharge and during the follow-up period after surgery (10-15 days after discharge).]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
- Functional exercise capacity [Time frame: Evaluations will be made before surgery (the day before surgery) and during the follow-up period (10-15 days after discharge).]
- Postoperative Pulmonary Complications [Time frame: Postoperative first-fifth days.]
- Exercise Motivation [Time frame: The evaluation will be made during the control period (10-15 days after discharge).]
- Dyspnea Level [Time frame: An evaluation will be made in the preoperative (the day before surgery) and control period (10-15 days after discharge).]
- Quality of Life [Time frame: The evaluation will be made during the preoerative (the day before surgery) and control (10-15 days after discharge) period.]
- Physical Performance [Time frame: Evaluations will be made in the preoperative (the day before surgery) and control (10-15 days after discharge) periods.]
