About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Hospitalized Patients After Thoracic Pulmonary Resection Surgery

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death in men and the second in women with a 5 year survival in Europe of less than 15%. One of the methods most used for its treatment is pulmonary resection. The objective of this study is to analyze the clinical profile presented to patients after pulmonary resection.

Read the detailed description

One of the most widely used methods for the treatment of lung cancer is pulmonary resection. The morbidity and mortality of pulmonary resection surgery is conditioned by both the type of intervention and the patient's condition. Functional deterioration is a risk associated with hospitalization in the elderly, with a high prevalence (35-70%) and serious consequences, since in the majority it can lead to the appearance of complications not related to the reason for admission or the specific treatment. It is very important to evaluate the clinical profile of patients after pulmonary resection in order to stablish a more specific repercussion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Strength in upper and lower limbs

    Changes from baseline to postintervention during hospital stay in lower and upper limbs strength. The quadriceps and the hand-grip strength is assessed using a portable dynamometer with a standard protocol allowing three attempts on each side.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Exercise capacity

    Five times sit to stand test (5STS) will be used to assess exercise capacity. 5STS is a simple assessment tool that is feasible in all healthcare settings and involves asking the patient to stand up 5 times for the shortest possible time without arm support.. Saturation and heart rate will be monitored as well as levels of dyspnea and fatigue of the patient.

    Measured: Baseline, up to 1 month
