Filter by:Surgical treatment is performed with the aim of reducing, halting the progression of, or treating certain pathological conditions in the human body by removing some tissue or organs from the body. Wedge resection is considered an effective method for the treatment of lung cancer. The wedge resection method is utilized in both malignant and non-malignant pulmonary pathologies (such as bronchiectasis, aspergilloma, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, tuberculosis, fungal infections, inflammatory pseudotumors, hydatid cyst, and benign masses). Following surgical procedures such as Video-Assisted Thorascopic Surgery (VATS) and wedge resection, side effects and complications such as atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, prolonged air leakage, chylothorax, sepsis, pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, empyema, bronchopleural fistula, pain, anxiety, dyspnea, fatigue, and insomnia can occur. Non-pharmacological methods are observed to increase comfort and control in patients, thereby enhancing their quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions such as music therapy, hot or cold therapy, hypnosis, aromatherapy, massage, progressive relaxation exercises, deep breathing exercises, pursed lip breathing, yoga, and meditation can be employed in the management of postoperative symptoms such as pain, anxiety, dyspnea, insomnia, and fatigue. Studies involving breathing exercises have shown that they reduce anxiety and pain scores after exercise. Alternate nostril breathing, a yoga practice, is considered one of the best breathing exercises for health and fitness. It has positive effects on dyspnea, anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders.
This study is a single centre, prospective clinical trial evaluating the safety and feasibility of implementing a same day chest tube removal protocol in patients undergoing Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) anatomical pulmonary surgery.
Chest drain is used routinely after lung surgery. Despite preliminary studies demonstrate the feasibility and safety of intraoperative chest drain removal, these are either retrospective or mainly concerning benign disease. Hypothesis: Participants treated without post-operative chest tube after thoracoscopic wedge resection have less pain, reduced opioid usage without increasing postoperative complications than participants treated with standard post-operative chest tube, and could possibly be discharged earlier.
This investigation is planned to compare the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat according to the use of heated breathing circuit in patients undergoing double-lumen endotracheal intubation.
This investigation is planned to compare the incidence and severity of postoperative sore throat according to the use of two-handed jaw thrust maneuver in patients undergoing double-lumen endotracheal intubation.
Prospective research to study the relationship between concentrations of metals/metalloids in blood, hair and lung tissue with the occurence of lung cancer or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
During early postoperative after lung resection surgery, patients without oxygen supplementation may experience hypoxemia. Oxygen supplementation can be given via oxygen mask or cannular. In this study the investigators want to the sudy the effect of oxygen supplementation via oxygen cannular during the first 120 minutes after surgery
