Structured Pulmonary Physiotherapy After Lung Cancer Surgery by Age Group
NCT07441863
Summary
This prospective, single-arm interventional study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured postoperative pulmonary physiotherapy program delivered by the research team in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery. The intervention consists of chest physiotherapy, bronchial hygiene techniques, early mobilization, and postural exercises applied under physiotherapist supervision during the postoperative hospital stay. The primary outcome is length of hospital stay. Secondary outcomes include blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, fatigue, and dyspnea levels. Clinical outcomes will be analyzed according to age groups (45-59 years and 60-90 years) to determine potential age-related differences in response to the intervention.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 45 to 90 years * Undergoing lung cancer surgery (lobectomy, segmentectomy, or pneumonectomy) * Medically stable in the early postoperative period * Able to participate in a structured pulmonary physiotherapy program * Provided written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Hemodynamic instability preventing mobilization * Severe cognitive impairment limiting cooperation * Neurological or orthopedic conditions restricting mobilization * Requirement for prolonged mechanical ventilation * Presence of another active malignancy * Any medical contraindication to physiotherapy as determined by the attending physician
