Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
It has been observed that there are negative effects on respiratory muscle strength following lobectomy. This has led to the necessity of respiratory muscle training to mitigate these adverse effects. Most studies conducted so far focus on the late postoperative period, and there are only a few studies evaluating the effectiveness of early postoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT). It is believed that this method could be useful for facilitating patient follow-up and increasing patient motivation through visual feedback.

- description
- Individuals who are between the ages of 18-65 and lung cancer patient, underwent lobectomy with video-assisted thoracic surgery. The group will receive standard postoperative physiotherapy and rehabilitation as well as classical inspiratory muscle strength training with the noninvasive Powerbreath Medic Plus device (POWERbreathe International Ltd., Warwickshire, England). Training will start with 40 percent of the initial MIP level and progress will be planned according to Modified Borg between 3-4. It will be repeated twice a day for 3 times 10 minutes. Training will start on the 1st postoperative day after the participants are transferred to the ward and they will be asked to continue at home. The progress plan will be adjusted by talking to the patient on the phone every 2 days after discharge.
