NCT03010033

Brief Summary

It is reported that smoker patients (\>400 cigarette/year) will suffer more postoperative complications than non-smoker patients after lobectomy. Evidences has suggested pulmonary rehabilitation could reduce the pulmonary complications after thoracic surgery. However, the effect and long-term results of pulmonary rehabilitation on smoker patients have not been studied. The purpose of this study is to determine whether pulmonary rehabilitation is effective to smoker patients who underwent lobectomy.

Study Arms (2)

regular care

NO INTERVENTION

\[Control group\] preoperative treatment: smoking cession, aerosol inhalation for expectorant and antiasthmatic, anti-infection therapy if necessary and regular rehabilitation-propaganda; postoperative treatment: regular postoperative treatment (anti-infection, pain control, oxygen Inhalation aerosol inhalation for expectorant and antiasthmatic), patting back (3 times/day, 15min/time) and early ambulation unless serious patients.

pulmonary rehabilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

\[Study group\] preoperative treatment: smoking cession, aerosol inhalation for expectorant and antiasthmatic, anti-infection therapy if necessary, regular rehabilitation-propaganda and interventional pulmonary rehabilitation (preoperative part); postoperative treatment: regular postoperative treatment (anti-infection, pain control, oxygen Inhalation aerosol inhalation for expectorant and antiasthmatic), patting back (3 times/day, 15min/time), early ambulation unless serious patients and interventional pulmonary rehabilitation (postoperative part).

Other: pulmonary rehabilitation

Interventions

pulmonary rehabilitation (preoperative part): lower extremity endurance training (using bike ergometer for 3 days, 2 times/day, 15-20min/time) or stair climbing training (3 days, 2 times/day, 30min/time), keep dyspnea index (Borg) score between 5 to 7 points. And inspiratory muscle training (using threshold inspiratory muscle trainer for 3 days, 5 times/day, 2 sessions/time, every session includes 10-20 cycle respirations). pulmonary rehabilitation (postoperative part): inspiratory muscle training (using threshold inspiratory muscle trainer until hospital discharge, 3-5 times/day, 1 session/time, every session includes 10-20 cycle respirations).
