Abstract:
Objective:To observe the application effect of a self-designed assisted abdominal breathing rehabilitation device in elderly patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy for lung cancer.Methods:Self-designed an assisted abdominal breathing rehabilitation device. Used the convenience sampling method, 116 elderly patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from April 2021 to April 2022 undergoing postoperative chemotherapy for lung cancer were selected as study subjects, and they were divided into control and observation groups by the random number table method, with 58 cases in each group. The control group received routine abdominal breathing training, and the observation group used auxiliary abdominal breathing rehabilitation device for abdominal breathing training, and compared the training compliance rate, lung function indexes and six minutes-walk test scores of the two groups before and after 2 weeks of training.Results:After 2 weeks of training, the training compliance rate of patients in the observation group was 100.00% (58/58), which was higher than 87.93% (51/58) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=7.45, P<0.05). After 2 weeks of training, FEV 1, FVC, FEV 1/FVC were (1.81 ± 0.29) L, (1.98 ± 0.32) L, (91.91 ± 5.98) % respectively in the observation group, and (1.49 ± 0.31) L, (1.73 ± 0.41) L, (87.11 ± 9.44) % respectively in the control group, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups ( t=-4.13, -2.60, -2.36, all P<0.05). After 2 weeks of training, the six minutes-walk test score was (0.86 ± 0.71) points in the observation group and (1.02 ± 0.74) points in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.05, P<0.05). Conclusions:An assisted abdominal breathing rehabilitation device helps to improve the training compliance rate, enhance lung function recovery and improve exercise endurance in elderly patients undergoing chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery.
