Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy for Patients With Thoracic Neoplasms Undergoing Chest Surgery (NCT05267496)
Effect of Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy on the Frequency of Pulmonary Atelectasis in Thoracic Cancer Patients Undergoing Chest Surgery
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This randomized clinical study aims to assess the use of an oscillating positive expiratory pressure device (AEROBIKA) in patients with thoracic neoplasms who undergo chest surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: If the use of the AEROBIKA device reduces the incidence of atelectasis in oncological patients undergoing lung resection. If the use of the AEROBIKA device reduces hospital readmission and days of hospital stay. Participants who accept to participate will be sorted to receive a conventional rehab therapy (group A), otherwise a conventional rehab therapy plus AEROBIKA device (group B). Researchers will compare patients from group A versus group B to see if patients develop atelectasis.
