Relationship Between Hand Dynamometer Measurements, PFT, and mFI With Postoperative Outcomes

Summary

The study will take place at SBÜ Ankara Atatürk Sanatorium Training and Research Hospital and will include 100 patients over the age of 40 who are scheduled for lung malignancy surgery after 01 April 2024. Informed consent will be obtained from all patients, who will be assigned a number from 1 to 100.

For patients over 40 years of age who are scheduled to undergo lung malignancy resection surgery, demographic data including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), diagnosis, comorbidities, and ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologist) score will be recorded. In addition, hand grip strength measurement, pulmonary function test, and modified frailty index (a scoring system that includes 11 parameters) will be recorded prior to surgery. Intraoperative and postoperative complications will be documented. The duration of the patient's stay in the intensive care unit, chest tube removal, length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications will also be recorded. A follow-up call will be made to the patient by the responsible researcher 90 days after the operation to inquire about any complications that may have developed within that time frame.

The study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative hand grip strength measurement, pulmonary function test analysis (PFT), and modified frailty index with the duration of intensive care unit stay, chest tube withdrawal time, hospital stay, and postoperative complications in patients undergoing lung resection due to malignancy.

Interventions

DEVICE

Hand Dynamometer

Hand grip strength will be measured using a hand dynamometer. Research has demonstrated that hand grip strength is correlated with muscle strength in the upper extremities, as well as overall body and pulmonary muscle strength.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pulmonary Function Test

Spirometry is a physiological test that measures the ability to inhale and exhale air relative to time. Spirometry is a diagnostic test of several common respiratory disperses such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is also instrumental in monitoring the progression of various respiratory disorders. The main results of spirometry are forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume exhaled in the first second (FEV1), and the FEV1/FVC ratio. Pulmonary Function Test analysis values (FEV1, FVC and FEV1 /FVC) will be used.

OTHER

Modified Frailty Index

The modified frailty index is a valuable preoperative risk assessment tool that can be used to assess the risk of both morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing surgery. It is calculated based on 11 parameters.
