Summary

The aim of this project is to investigate the effectiveness of implementing a Comprehensive Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program (CPRP) in patients undergoing lung resection surgery. The CPRP encompasses a training regimen combining aerobic exercise, resistance exercises, breathing exercises, and home activities, specifically tailored for patients with limited exercise capacity and impaired lung function. The study seeks to understand the physiological and biological effects of the CPRP in this patient population.

Standard care

The pre-operative educational session has a duration of 40 minutes and covers pre-operative education, breathing exercises (diaphragmatic breathing, deep breathing techniques and sustained maximal inflation), and airway clearance techniques (directed cough, huffing, and chest physiotherapy). Patients are instructed to perform these techniques ten times per waking hour, every day. The in-patient peri-operative session incorporates intermittent positive pressure breathing inhalation (IPPB) administered for 15 minutes twice daily. Inhalation therapy involving mucolytics and bronchodilators is administered three times per day, and early mobilization is encouraged until discharge. Upon discharge, participants are encouraged to continue practicing breathing exercises, deep breathing techniques, and maintaining an active level of activity.

Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation programs

1. Warm-up and cool-down exercises: stretching various muscle groups for a duration of 15 to 20 minutes and a slow 3-minute walk 2. Aerobic training: using a lower-limb cycle ergometer for a duration of 30 to 40 minutes. Initiated warm-up at 0 wattages for 5 minutes. Incrementally increased wattages within 5-10 minutes until reaching the 40-80% heart rate reserve or 4 to 6 of modified Borg scale for at least 20 minutes. Concludes with a 5-minute cool-down period at 10 wattages. 3. The resistance training involves both upper and lower limbs: (1) Upper Limb Resistance Training: Shoulder lift, abduction, and horizontal abduction exercises are performed. Each exercise is repeated for three sessions comprising 10 repetitions each. A 0.5-2 kg dumbbell is utilized for resistance. (2) Lower Limb Resistance Training: Sit-to-stand exercises are performed. Each session consists of three sets of 10 repetitions.
