Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The advantages of thoracoscopic surgery include smaller wounds, fewer postoperative complications, and shortened hospital stay. However,complications such as pain, pulmonary function insufficiency, pneumonia,postoperative pneumothorax, persistent air leakage, subcutaneous emphysema, cough, and hemoptysis may occur in older patients after thoracoscopic surgery. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been demonstrated by evidence-base medicine could effectively reduce pulmonary complications and dyspnea as well as improve lung function, quality of life, exercise ability, and functional status of patients after traditional heart and thoracic surgery. Studies have suggested that pulmonary rehabilitation should be performed for at least 4 weeks to optimize the training effect .However, most patients who undergo thoracoscopic surgery were discharged within 3-5 days. Such a short hospital stay impeded the delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation. Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation appeared to be an option for these patients The purpose of this study is to determine whether Pulmonary rehabilitation are effective on patients who had thoracic surgeries.

- 0-2 weeks,1. aerobic exercise intensity was targeted to reach 10-11 points of perceived exercise (RPE) scale 2. raised their upper limbs while simultaneously performing lower-limb stepping at place for 20 min 3.walked at a comfortable speed for 15 min twice per day.4. Triflo-II was performed 8-10 times per hour. inspiratory muscle training with the initial pressure set at 25%-30% of the maximum inspiratory pressure.3-6 weeks, aerobic exercise reach 12-15 points on the RPE scale. upper-limb resistance exercise (raising of a 250-cc water bottle) and lower-limb stepping for 20 min per day , walking exercise for a total of 30 min. Triflo-II was performed 8-10 times per hour, and train the inspiratory muscle with the pressure intensity adjusted to more than 5% of that in the first stage.
