Official title
Preoperative Self-managed Respiratory Therapy for Reduction of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications After Non-cardiothoracic Surgery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a source of much morbidity and mortality. Rates of PPCs exceed 30% in patients with multiple risk factors. Several studies have demonstrated reduced PPCs in patients who underwent preoperative inspiratory muscle training. These studies largely focused on cardiothoracic surgery and required the use of respiratory therapists. The investigators hypothesize that preoperative, self-administered respiratory therapy would reduce PPCs in patients with risk factors for PPCs undergoing any non-cardiothoracic surgery. This study is a randomized, controlled trial comparing preoperative use of an incentive spirometry device with usual care in patients undergoing non-emergent, non-cardiothoracic surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
