Zusammenfassung: | Objective
This study was to investigate the impact of breathing exercises on recovery in elderly patients receiving laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
Design
A prospective randomized controlled trial.
Setting
University hospital.
Subject
A total of 264 elder patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery participated in this study.
Intervention
Patients in intervention group received respiratory-related exercises based on standardized enhanced recovery after surgery strategies from admission to 90 days after surgery. The control group received perioperative standardized enhanced recovery after surgery strategies without formatted breathing exercises.
Main measures
The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. The secondary outcomes included 6-minute walking distance, surgery-related complications, length of stay, mortality postoperatively, and hospitalization costs.
Results
Completion rate of breathing exercise in intervention group was over 80% till 90 days postoperatively. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was lower in breathing exercises group (17/132 [12.9%] vs. 43/132 [32.6%], p |
