  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Intervention
The Intervention Arm will receive 10 sessions of Mindfulness Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation prior to lung surgery
Participants in this group will under go 10 sessions of mindfulness based pulmonary rehabilitation prior to surgery. Each session is about 2 hours long and consists of upper /lower extremity training, breathing exercises, and education.
Placebo Comparator: Usual Care
The Usual Care Arm will receive the normal care that a patient with severe COPD having a lung surgery would receive.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measure of length of hospital stay post surgical resection of lung cancer in patients that underwent a resection for lung cancer.
Time Frame: baseline to release from hospital - approx 10 days
The length of hospital stay will be compared between participants that under went 10 Mindful Rehabilitation Sessions with participants who received the usual care prior to a lung resection.
baseline to release from hospital - approx 10 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measure post-operative complications in patients that under went 10 session of Mindful Pulmonary Rehabilitation prior to lung resection compared to patients who received usual care prior to a lung resection for lung cancer.
Time Frame: Post surgerybaseline to release from hospital - approx 10 days
The study will compare the number of ICU days, ventilation hours, number of days with a chest tube, subsequent pneumonia or respiratory failure in patients that underwent 10 Mindful Pulmonary Rehabilitation sessions prior to a lung resection to patients who received the usual care prior to a lung resection for lung cancer.
Post surgerybaseline to release from hospital - approx 10 days
