Postoperative outcomes following preoperative inspiratory muscle training in patients undergoing open cardiothoracic or upper abdominal surgery: protocol for a systematic review

Abstract: BackgroundIn patients undergoing open cardiothoracic and upper abdominal surgery, postoperative pulmonary complications remain an important cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality, impacting upon hospital length of stay and health care resources. Adequate preoperative respiratory muscle strength may help protect against the development of postoperative pulmonary complications and therefore preoperative inspiratory muscle training has been suggested to be of potential value in improving postoperative out… Show more

“…The electronic databases of Medline, CINAHL, AMED, PsychINFO, Scopus, PEDro, and the Cochrane Library were searched for all available years until December 2013. Combinations of the following search terms were included: inspiratory / respiratory / ventilatory / pulmonary / breathing, training / conditioning , and preoperative / pre-operative / presurgical / pre-surgical (see Mans et al, 19 for the full search strategy). Two authors (CM, JR) individually screened the studies against inclusion criteria.…”

“…Additionally, the higher incidence of respiratory complications may be a reflection of multiple factors -extended period of general anesthesia, extended period of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum, post-operative atelectasis or hospital-acquired pneumonia 12 . Overall, the potential for adverse events in this patient population is increased and surgeons can benefit from this knowledge by preparing their patients pre-operatively during the counseling and consenting process.…”
