Inspiratory Muscle Training Prior to Conventional and Minimal Invasive Heart Surgery

Stopped: lack of time and personnel

0Started 2023-02-01

Plain-language summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using an IMT Threshold device (Philips), on early postoperative lung function recovery and on the occurrence of post-operative pulmonary complications (PPC) after major cardiothoracic surgery with and without sternotomy. As frailty can affect postoperative outcome, the relation between frailty, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and post-operative outcome is investigated additionally.
