About this study

Show by collecting sleep and activity data, outcomes after thoracic surgery are improved with better sleep and increased activity.

Read the detailed description

Little is known about how sleep deprivation affects recovery after thoracic surgery. There is some evidence that in cardiac surgery, sleep disturbance can lead to delayed recovery and mental status changes in the postoperative period. There are no similar reports of studies after thoracic surgery. We think that increased activity after surgery is beneficial for a rapid recovery and prevents blood clots, pneumonia and deconditioning. Without specific data this is difficult to prove.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FitbitOther

    A FitBit HR monitor will be placed on patients when they arrive on the nursing unit after thoracic surgery. Sleep and activity will be monitored for the duration of the patient's hospitalization and the data from the Fitbit HR device will be downloaded by the study staff to a computer.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Length of Stay

    Measured: Until discharge, an average of 5 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of pneumonia while hospitalized

    Measured: Until discharge, an average of 5 days

  2. Incidence of blood clot while hospitalized

    Measured: Until discharge, an average of 5 days

  3. Incidence of deconditioning while hospitalized

    Measured: Until discharge, an average of 5 days
