Effect of Respiratory Function Training on the Lung Function and Quality of Life in Patients Undergoing Radical Resection of Lung Cancer
Objective To explore the effect of respiratory function training on the lung function and quality of life in patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer.Methods A total of 98 patients who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer in Henan Chest Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 49 cases in both groups.During perioperative period,the control group was given routine nursing intervention,and the observation group was given respiratory function training on this basis.The forced expiratory volume in first second(FEV1),forced vital capacity(FVC),maximum ventilatory volume(MVV)and peak expiratory flow(PEF)were used to evaluate lung function,the postoperative recovery time of the two groups was recorded,and cancer-specific quality of life questionnaire-core 30(QLQ-C30)was used to evaluate the quality of life of cancer patients.Results Seven days after surgery,the lung function indexes of FEV1,FVC,MVV and PEF were decreased in both groups,but the indexes in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The time of ventilator use,catheterization and hospitalization in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).At 1 month after surgery,the scores of functional,symptom and overall health in QLQ-C30 were improved in both groups,and the fields scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Perioperative respiratory function training could effectively promote the recovery of lung function in patients undergoing radical resection of lung cancer,shorten the postoperative rehabilitation time,improved the quality of life.
