Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) on respiratory complications of postoperative lung cancer patients. Methods One hundred non-small-cell lung cancer patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy or segmentectomy in thoracic surgery department from April 2012 to January 2014 were assigned into the control group , while the experiment group were paired patients from February 2014 to December 2014. We applied ACBT to the experiment group for 5 days after surgical resection and afterward compared the two groups in view of incidence of respiratory complications . Result The incidences of pulmonary infection, atelectasis and hypoxemia in the experiment group were all significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion ACBT strengthens endurance and force of patients′respiratory muscle group, and therefore reduces postoperative pulmonary complications.
