Summary

This study applies external diaphragm pacemaker and positive expiratory pressure therapy to patients who received thoracic surgeries, in order to explore the effects of different physical therapy programs on pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with lung cancer. As well as we hope that these physical training programs can effectively improve the lung function of patients, reduce postoperative pulmonary complications, hospitalization days, hospitalization expenses, etc.

Detailed description

This study applies external diaphragm pacemaker and positive expiratory pressure therapy to patients who received thoracic surgeries, ninety patients may be enrolled in this study. Some metrics are used to evaluate the pulmonary rehabilitation status in postoperative patients which include pulmonary function test, 6-Min Walking Test，Borg index, complications incidence, chest tube draining time, and diaphragm muscle mobility.

Conditions

• Rehabilitation
