Summary

This is a pilot study to obtain preliminary information on the usability and efficacy of a pre-habilitation program. The investigators will recruit up to 100 patients. The two specific aims of this study are to conduct an initial pilot study with the following goals: 1. To obtain information on feasibility and utilization of the program 2. To determine whether participation in the program improves a patient's Maximal Inspiratory Pressure

Detailed description

Participants will engage in a pre-habilitation program prior to surgery at home, that includes using an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) device that will strengthen the muscles of breathing. Participants will keep a log of training. The Maximum Inspiratory Pressure will be measured at baseline and prior to surgery.

Conditions

• Pulmonary Atelectasis
• Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)	Participants will receive an inspiratory muscle training that they will do leading up to the day of their surgery.
