About

The home confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has aroused the need to use telematic communication systems to provide remote treatments. More and more research is being done on preoperative respiratory physiotherapy in patients undergoing thoracic surgery with lung cancer. It is a treatment that has great relevance in the prevention of postoperative complications and in the quality of life of the patient. Therefore, this study is proposed to highlight the applicability of a telematic system of preoperative physiotherapy treatment with the FISSIOS application at the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (HSCSP).

Full description

A pilot cohort follow-up study is proposed based on the viability of a tele-physiotherapy program preoperative respiratory thoracic surgery for pulmonary cancer. The Patient selection will be done over a period of 2 months between January and February 2022, without participant limit during this period. The patient will have two face-to-face visits where the assessments and data will be collected. During follow-up patients will do 3-4 video conferencing with the principal investigator. For 3-4 weeks the patients will use the FISSIOS App to follow up of the exercises every day. The study will be conducted at the HSCSP in Barcelona. The results will be analyzed by the Epidemiology of the Hospital de Sant Pau
