Summary

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that inspiratory muscle training with daily use of an incentive spirometer for at least 14 days prior to lung surgery will reduce the risk of post-operative pulmonary complications.

Detailed description

Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are the most common adverse events following lung resection, with a reported incidence of over 20-30% in some series. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with daily use of an incentive spirometer (IS) for at least 14 days prior to lung surgery will reduce the risk of PPCs compared to the usual care, consisting of no formal preoperative IMT. The hypothesis is that preoperative inspiratory spirometer breathing (ISB) is a feasible and cost-effective intervention that can significantly reduce PPCs after lung resection. It is also hypothesized that patient compliance with the intervention will be high because of its simplicity, convenience, low cost and no potential for adverse effects.

Conditions

• Postoperative Respiratory Complication

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Inspiratory muscle training	At least 2 weeks prior to surgery, participants will be given a Vyaire incentive spirometer device and provided with formal training on proper inspiratory muscle breathing exercise using the device. They will be instructed to perform 4 sets of these exercises per day for 14 days prior to surgery.
