Functional Capacity of Exercise and Lung Function in Patients Submitted Early Rehabilitation

Functional Capacity of Exercise and Lung Function in Patients Submitted to Early Rehabilitation Program After Nuss Procedure: a Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 40 (actual)
• Sponsor: Instituto do Coracao · Other Government
• Sex: All
• Age: 14 Years – 30 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The aim of this study was to compare the functional capacity of exercise by six-minute walk test and lung function by spirometry, before and after Nuss procedure in subjects who have undergone the early rehabiliation program with those who were under conventional care. Researchers want to find out if early rehabilitation is a strategy to enhance recovery after Nuss procedure.

Detailed description

The replacement of some traditional approaches in surgical care has demonstrated that surgical recovery can be accelerated and convalescence decreased. These multimodal approaches focuses on enhancing recovery and reducing morbidity by reduction of surgical stress,minimal invasive surgery, optimized pain relief, early nutrition and ambulation. In postoperative, the bed rest leads to the increase in muscle loss and weakness, impairs pulmonary function, predisposes to venous stasis and thromboembolism, increases infection complications and reduces functional capacity even in patients who are not restricted to bed. However, few studies have focused on when start the mobilization and which effects on functional capacity of exercise and lung function during hospital stay. In this trial the investigators will consider early rehabilitation to be safe and feasible in Nuss procedure.
