Inspiratory Muscle Training Prior to Conventional and Minimal Invasive Heart Surgery

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2023
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.
