Significance of Early Mobilization After VATS-L

December 29, 2020 updated by: Lin Huang, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Physiological Evidence for Early Mobilization in Thoracoscopic Lobectomy

The main endpoint is physiological rehabilitation after VATS-L under early mobilization. The secondary endpoints are exploring the effect of early mobilization on postoperative physiology.

Investigators hypothesis that early mobilization is clearly advantaged to advance the physiological recovery.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
FEV1 is the amount of air you can force from your lungs in one second. Participants will be examed via spirometer.
Through study completion, an average of 3 days
Postoperative arterial oxygen saturation.
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. Participants will be tested via oximeter.
Through study completion, an average of 3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The quantization of activity counts
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
Through study completion, an average of 3 days
The quantization of pain
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (excruciating pain) is used to score postoperative pain.
Through study completion, an average of 3 days
length of stay in hospital
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 days
Through study completion, an average of 3 days
Duration of chest tube
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 days
Through study completion, an average of 2 days
Postoperative complications
Time Frame: up to 30 days
Pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumonia, empyema, bleeding, pulmonary embolism, prolong air leakage, re-intervention, re-surgery and re-admission will be recording specifically.
up to 30 days
