About this study
Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial of an Intelligent Pulmonary Function Exercise Device Versus Usual Care for In-Hospital and Home-Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation After Lung Cancer Surgery
This study will compare an intelligent pulmonary function exercise device with usual care and natural recovery in patients recovering from lung cancer surgery.
After lung cancer surgery, many patients have reduced lung function, shortness of breath, lower exercise tolerance, and a risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Standard care usually includes postoperative nursing, pain control, coughing and sputum clearance instruction, early mobilization, discharge education, and routine follow-up. However, patients often lack structured guidance, feedback, and monitoring after discharge.

Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will use an intelligent pulmonary function exercise device for respiratory training during hospitalization and at home until 30 days after surgery. The prescribed training is two sessions per day, with each session including 30 expiratory training repetitions and 30 inspiratory training repetitions. The device records training completion and related training information and provides reminders and feedback. The other group will receive usual perioperative care, standard discharge education, and natural recovery follow-up without a study-specified respiratory training device or training prescription.
The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the intelligent pulmonary function exercise device improves recovery of forced expiratory volume in 1 second, or FEV1, from before surgery to 30 days after surgery. The study will also evaluate lung function at 90 days, symptoms, quality of life, walking capacity, training adherence, and postoperative complications.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intelligent Pulmonary Function Exercise DeviceDevice
A digital pulmonary rehabilitation device used for active inspiratory and expiratory respiratory training. The device records the number of completed training sessions, expiratory and inspiratory repetitions, training parameters, target completion, reminders, and interruptions. Training data are synchronized to the study platform for adherence monitoring and remote follow-up.
Usual Care and Natural RecoveryBehavioural
Usual perioperative care includes standard postoperative nursing, analgesia, coughing and sputum clearance instruction, early mobilization, wound and drainage tube management, discharge education, and routine follow-up. No structured pulmonary rehabilitation program assigned by the study team will be provided to the control group.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study will compare an intelligent pulmonary function exercise device with usual care and natural recovery in patients recovering from lung cancer surgery.
After lung cancer surgery, many patients have reduced lung function, shortness of breath, lower exercise tolerance, and a risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Standard care usually includes postoperative nursing, pain control, coughing and sputum clearance instruction, early mobilization, discharge education, and routine follow-up. However, patients often lack structured guidance, feedback, and monitoring after discharge.
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will use an intelligent pulmonary function exercise device for respiratory training during hospitalization and at home until 30 days after surgery. The prescribed training is two sessions per day, with each session including 30 expiratory training repetitions and 30 inspiratory training repetitions. The device records training completion and related training information and provides reminders and feedback. The other group will receive usual perioperative care, standard discharge education, and natural recovery follow-up without a study-specified respiratory training device or training prescription.
The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the intelligent pulmonary function exercise device improves recovery of forced expiratory volume in 1 second, or FEV1, from before surgery to 30 days after surgery. The study will also evaluate lung function at 90 days, symptoms, quality of life, walking capacity, training adherence, and postoperative complications.
