About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Inspiratory muscle strength

Respiratory muscle strength will measure by measuring mouth pressure and using maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) values.

Time frame
Measurements will be performed before surgery (the day before surgery), at discharge and during the follow-up period after surgery (10-15 days after discharge).
2

Expiratory muscle strength

Respiratory muscle strength will measure by measuring mouth pressure and using maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) values.

Time frame
Measurements will be performed before surgery (the day before surgery), at discharge and during the follow-up period after surgery (10-15 days after discharge).

Secondary outcomes

1

Functional exercise capacity

6-minute walk test (6MWT) will be used to evaluate functional exercise capacity.

Time frame
Evaluations will be made before surgery (the day before surgery) and during the follow-up period (10-15 days after discharge).
2

Postoperative Pulmonary Complications

Postoperative pulmonary complications will be evaulate by Melbourne Group Scale. If more than 4 parameters are positive, it will be considered as having postoperative pulmonary complication.

Time frame
Postoperative first-fifth days.
3

Exercise Motivation

Exercise Motivation Attitude Scale will be used. This scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions (negative attitude and thought/positive view and health/physical appearance and health).

Time frame
The evaluation will be made during the control period (10-15 days after discharge).
4

Dyspnea Level

Modified Borg Scale will be used to evaluate dyspnea.

Time frame
An evaluation will be made in the preoperative (the day before surgery) and control period (10-15 days after discharge).
