Preoperative Inspiratory Muscle Training in Gastroplasty
May 18, 2016 updated by: Ada Clarice Gastaldi, University of Sao Paulo
Effects of Preoperative Inspiratory Muscle Training in Patients Undergoing Gastroplasty
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of preoperative inspiratory muscle training in patients with grade III obesity undergoing bariatric surgery.
It will be a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial with volunteers allocated in two groups that will be compared according to postoperative evolution (pulmonary complications, lung function, strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles and respiratory system resistance).
Study Overview
Detailed Description
The prevalence of obesity has a significantly increase in recent years and represents a public health problem due to the increased risk of mortality from various causes.
Changes in respiratory system arising from obesity are well established and they include a reduction in compliance with an increased ventilatory work and oxygen consumption with breathing.
Bariatric surgery is an alternative surgical treatment of obesity and patients who undergo this surgery are susceptible to post operative pulmonary complications as a result of obesity and also abdominal surgery.
The inspiratory muscle training (IMT) used in pre or post operative period can improve muscle strength and endurance, beyond the perception of dyspnea.There are suggestions that the preoperative training may contribute to a best post operative evolution in patients, but these benefits are not clearly defined in the literature.
The objective is to evaluate the effects of preoperative IMT in post operative patients undergoing gastroplasty.
There will be 40 patients of bariatric surgery group in Ribeirão Preto Medical School of both sexes, BMI>40 kg/m2 and with the appropriate inclusion criteria.They will be assessed by pulmonary function tests, measurement of strength and endurance of respiratory muscles, submaximal exercise tests, dyspnea and quality of life scales.
All patients will receive standard treatment and will be randomly divided into two groups, named control group and training group, who will be trained for 4 weeks preoperatively.
The patients will be reassessed after 4 weeks of training and on the 15th postoperative return day.
The evolution data about pulmonary complications will be collected from the medical records, notes of the medical staff and physical therapy routine service.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: IMT group
The volunteers will do the respiratory muscle training through a linear inspiratory pressure resistance device (POWERbreathe®) at 50% of the maximal inspiratory pressure.
|
Patients will be instructed to do a daily inspiratory muscle training at home with the preset load at 50% of the maximal inspiratory pressure, during 30 minutes for 4 weeks before bariatric surgery. They will also receive the routine physical therapy in the post operative period.

PLACEBO_COMPARATOR: Control group
Patients will do a placebo respiratory muscle training through a load pressure resistance device (POWERbreathe®) with the minimum load available (10cmH20).
|
Patients will be instructed to do a daily inspiratory muscle training at home with the minimal inspiratory load of the respiratory resistance device, during 30 minutes for 4 weeks before bariatric surgery.
They will also receive the routine physical therapy in the post operative period.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Pulmonary Complications
Time Frame: From the first to the 15th post-operative day
|
According to Brooks-Brunn (1997) methodology, pulmonary complications will be considered as: cough/sputum production, abnormal breath sounds, temperature ≥ 38°C, chest radiograph documentation of atelectasis or new infiltrate, physician documentation of atelectasis or pneumonia.
|
From the first to the 15th post-operative day

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Maximal Static Respiratory Pressures
Time Frame: First evaluation: preoperative / before IMT (4 weeks before surgery); Second evaluation: preoperative / after IMT (6-1 days before /surgery); Third evaluation: postoperative / after IMT (15 days after surgery)
|
It has beem used a digital manometer (MVD300, Global Med, São Paulo, Brazil) with graduation ranging from 0 to ± 300 cmH2O and adjusted to a rigid mouthpiece, following the proposed model by Black and Hyatt in 1969.
|
First evaluation: preoperative / before IMT (4 weeks before surgery); Second evaluation: preoperative / after IMT (6-1 days before /surgery); Third evaluation: postoperative / after IMT (15 days after surgery)
