Effect of Systematic Respiratory Function Training during Perioperative Period on Postoperative Recovery in Patients with Lung Cancer

Objective To investigate the effect of systematic respiratory function training during the perioperative period on postoperative recovery in patients with lung cancer.MethodsEighty-two patients undergoing elective operation for lung cancer were randomly given routine care alone(control group,n=41)and or in combination with systematic respiratory function training during the perioperative period(observation group,n=41).The incidence of complications(atelectasis,pulmonary infection and respiratory failure)was observed and catheter indwelling time and time from operation to discharge from hospital were recorded in both groups.In addition,maximum vital capacity(VCmax),forced expiratory volume in 1second(FEV1),FEV1/forced vital capacity(FVC)ration and respiratory rate were determined before and 1month after operation.Results Compared with control group,the incidence of complications was reduced,pulmonary function was improved and catheter indwelling time and time from operation to discharge from hospital were shortened in observation group(P0.05).Conclusion The systematic respiratory function training during the perioperative period can reduce the incidence of complications,promote postoperative recovery and improve the quality of life in patients with lung cancer.
