NCT04566172

Brief Summary

This is a pilot study to obtain preliminary information on the usability and efficacy of a pre-habilitation program. The investigators will recruit up to 100 patients. The two specific aims of this study are to conduct an initial pilot study with the following goals:

  1. 1.To obtain information on feasibility and utilization of the program
  2. 2.To determine whether participation in the program improves a patient's Maximal Inspiratory Pressure

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Inspiratory muscle training compliance as assessed by daily logs

    The primary outcome variable will be compliance with \>70% of inspiratory muscle training. Patients will be instructed to follow the prescribed program daily from the day consent is obtained until the day of surgery. Patients will complete a daily log of breathing exercises.

    Up to 10 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Number of attempted inspiratory muscle training as assessed by percent days the program was attempted

    Up to 10 Weeks

  • Number of completed inspiratory muscle training as assessed by percent days with full compliance

    Up to 10 Weeks

  • Change in maximum inspiratory pressure

    Baseline and on the day of surgery, up to 10 weeks from enrollment

  • Interest in Using Program for Future Surgeries as assessed by a likert scale

    Day of Surgery, up to 10 weeks from enrollment

  • Overall Satisfaction with the Program as assessed by a likert scale

    Day of Surgery, up to 10 weeks from enrollment

Study Arms (1)

Prehabilitation program

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient undergoing thoracic or upper abdominal surgery as part of their regular medical care will be approached. Participants will receive a prehabilitation program that includes an inspiratory muscle training that they will do leading up to the day of their surgery.

Behavioral: Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)

Interventions

Participants will receive an inspiratory muscle training that they will do leading up to the day of their surgery.

Also known as: IMT
Prehabilitation program
