Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the functional capacity of exercise by six-minute walk test and lung function by spirometry, before and after Nuss procedure in subjects who have undergone the early rehabiliation program with those who were under conventional care. Researchers want to find out if early rehabilitation is a strategy to enhance recovery after Nuss procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Functional capacity of exercise ( six-minute walk test)

  Change from baseline in distance walking on hospital discharge

  participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 days

• Lung function (spirometry)

  Change from baseline in lung function on hospital discharge

  participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 days

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Time to first postoperative ambulation

  up 2 hour after surgery

• Pain intensity

  participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 days

• The length of hospital stay

  expected average of 6 days

Study Arms (2)

Early rehabilitation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

one day before surgery, patients and their families were instructed by physiotherapists than explained the importance to perform physical exercises and breath exercises in postoperative. At the postoperative recovery room, after extubation and fully awake, patients started physiotherapy exercises, as physical exercises of moving up upper and lower extremities accompanied by deep breathing exercises. After than, the patients standed up beside the bed and if there was no complications, patients performed ambulation.

Other: Early rehabilitation

Conventional care

NO INTERVENTION

Usual care routine postoperative.

Interventions

Early rehabilitation OTHER

The physical exercises and breathing exercises are started as soon as after the Nuss procedure

Also known as: Physical exercises and breathing exercises after surgery

Early rehabilitation
