Exercise Capacity, Pulmonary Function and Physical Activity Levels in Patients With Lung Cancer Undergoing Pneumonectomy
In Brief
An observational study for Pneumonectomy; Status. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Pneumonectomy is a high-risk surgical procedure, causing impaired respiratory functions and exercise intolerance. It is associated with decreased physical activity, quality of life and increased fatigue. The primary aim of the study is to compare the exercise capacity and respiratory functions of lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy and healthy individuals. The secondary aim of the study is to compare peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, physical activity level, shortness of breath, fatigue and quality of life of lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy and healthy individuals.
