Patient Outcomes Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improving Pulmonary Function The Effect of Care Protocol on the Outcomes of Patients With Thoracotomy
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effect of the care protocol, which consists of independent nursing interventions, which play an important role in accelerating the recovery process of the patient, such as the patient's position, mobilization, use of spirometry, and providing shoulder exercises after thoracotomy. The hypothesis of this research is; the care protocol applied to the patients after thoracotomy has an effect on the patients' pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC) and on the mobilization of the patients, the development of complications, the time of chest tube removal and the discharge
Methods: In the study, 80 patients were randomly assigned to the study and control groups. Nursing interventions will be applied to the patients included in the study group (n=40), starting from the 0th day (the first day spent in the intensive care unit) after the thoracotomy in line with the prepared care protocol application steps until discharge. maintenance protocol; It will consist of position of the patient, mobilization, use of spirometer and shoulder exercises. The primary outcome of the research is the effect of the maintenance protocol used in the improvement of respiratory function on respiratory function tests. The secondary outcome of the research is to determine the effect of the care protocol on mobilization, complication development status, chest tube removal and discharge time in patients. The results are obtained by recording PFT values on the 1st, 5th and discharge days before and after thoracotomy. Postoperative (0.,1.,2.,3.,4.,5.) days and discharge day; mobilization, complication development status, chest tube removal time and discharge date will be recorded on the Patient Results Form. ;
