OA04.01 Move For Surgery – A Novel Preconditioning Program to Optimize Health Before Thoracic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Journal of Thoracic Oncology(2021)
Abstract
Preconditioning before surgery can lower complication rates post-surgery, and hence shorten the length of stay (LOS) in hospital. However, there are significant barriers to the adoption of preconditioning in the lung cancer population, which is characteristically older, suffers multiple comorbidities, and is averse to exercise. In an effort to overcome these barriers, we designed Move For Surgery (MFS), a home-based, 3-4 week preoperative preconditioning program intervention for thoracic surgery patients which involves aerobic exercise using wearable technology and deep breathing exercises, and compared it to the usual preoperative standard of care (Control) through a prospective randomized controlled trial.
