Application of respiratory training combined with respiratory tract management in patients after radical lung cancer surgery
Objective To analyze the effects of respiratory training combined with respiratory tract management on inflammatory indicators and clinical recovery of patients after radical lung cancer surgery.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with lung cancer who received radical resection of lung cancer in Lianyungang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The 40 patients who received routine respiratory training and nursing were set as a control group,including 26 males and 14 females who were 59-76(67.53±2.41)years old.The 40 patients who received respiratory training combined with respiratory management and nursing during the same period were set an observation group,including 27 males and 13 females who were 57-76(66.97±2.41)years old.The levels of lung function recovery and inflammatory indicators and related complications were compared between the two groups.x2 and t tests were applied.Results After the nursing,the forced vital capacity(FVC),peak expiratory flow(PEF),and forced expiratory volume in the first second(FEV1)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group[(3.41±0.63)L vs.(3.02±0.51)L,(4.23±0.64)L/min vs.(3.81±0.72)L/min,and(1.71±0.43)L vs.(1.43±0.59)L],with statistical differences(t=3.04,2.76,and 2.43;all P<0.05).After the nursing,the levels of interleukin-8(IL-8),IL-10,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the observation group were lower than those in the control group[(21.98±5.48)pg/L vs(25.53±5.68)μg/L,(23.08±6.05)μg/L vs.(27.54± 5.56)μg/L,and(23.97±6.45)pg/L vs.(28.53±6.25)pg/L],with statistical differences(t=2.85,3.43,and 3.21;all P<0.05).The incidences of complications after the surgery in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[5.00%(2/40)vs.20.00%(8/40)],with a statistical difference(x2=4.11,P<0.05).Conclusion Respiratory training combined with respiratory tract management for patients after radical lung cancer surgery can effectively improve their recovery of lung function and reduce the levels of inflammatory indicators and the occurrence of related complications.
