Description

The purpose of this study was to reveal the recovery process of pulmonary function from early influence of lung resection and change of exercise capacity before and after the resection, and relating factors of lung function recovery rate. The pulmonary function post-operation was significantly decreased in FEV1.0 up to 12 days, VC up to 8 days, suggesting the need of positive physical therapy development during this period. The recovery rate of FEV1.0 after the operation was related to age, BMI and starting days of sitting position and walking, and indicated the need to encourage patients to leave their beds at the earliest stage after the operation. There were no significant differences of exercise capacity before and after the operation, and we assume that the decline of exercise capacity was minimized because exercise therapy was performed actively from the earliest stage after the operation. From these results, we think that in the development of the physical therapy after lung resection it is important to encourage patients to leave their beds early and perform exercise therapy actively. It became clear that it is possible to raise the recovery rate of pulmonary functions and prevent complications after lung resection.<br>
