The Impact of Breathing Trainer on Lung Function and Sputum Clearance in Patients after Thoracoabdominal Laparoscopic Esophageal Cancer Radical Surgery
Objective To investigate the impact of a breathing trainer on lung function and sputum clearance in patients after thoracoabdominal laparoscopic esophageal cancer radical surgery.Methods A total of 88 patients who underwent thoracoabdominal laparoscopic esophageal cancer radical surgery from January 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into two groups.The conventional group received routine respiratory exercises,while the observation group received respiratory training using a breathing trainer in addition to the routine exercises.The lung function indicators[forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1)and forced vital capacity(FVC)]before and after intervention,daily sputum clearance and postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between two groups.Results After intervention,both FEV1 and FVC in both groups were higher than before intervention,and the observation group were higher than the conventional group(P<0.05).The observation group had a higher daily sputum clearance than the conventional group,the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was lower than in the conventional group(P<0.05).Conclusions The use of a breathing trainer after thoracoabdominal laparoscopic esophageal cancer radical surgery has advantages over simple routine respiratory exercises.It not only improves lung function in patients but also accelerates sputum clearance and reduces the risk of pulmonary complications.
