Randomized Controlled Trial[Can Perioperative Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Practice Enhance Recovery in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Thorascopic Lobectomy?]
Oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) training is a kind of breathing exercise with Acapella. The clinical value of OPEP has been widely discussed in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis as well as pulmonary cyst. However, few studies have explored the application of OPEP in surgery lung cancer patients underwent lobectomy. Thus, the aim of this study is to explore the impact of the application of OPEP device (acapella) in lung cancer patients undergoing video-assisted thorascopic surgery (VATS). ⋯ The application of OPEP device during the perioperative period was valuable in decreasing PPCs and enhancing recovery for lung cancer patients receiving VATS lobectomy.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Impact and Effect of Preoperative Short-term Pulmonary Rehabilitation Training on Lung Cancer Patients with Mild to Moderate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Trial].
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is proposed as an effective strategy to decrease surgical morbidity. However, appropriate rehabilitation plan, initiation time, and optimal duration of PR remain unclear. Lung cancer patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are considered high-risk population for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) because of poor lung fitness and cardiopulmonary endurance. This study aims to assess the impact of a one-week, systematic and highly-intensive rehabilitation on surgical lung cancer patients with mild to moderate COPD. ⋯ The systematic and highly-intensive pulmonary rehabilitation combining abdominal respiration training, respiratory exercise with incentive spirometry, and aerobic exercise could improve the cardiorespiratory endurance of lung cancer patients with mild to moderate COPD. The proposed program may be a practicable preoperative strategy. .
