What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a new care strategy that emphasizes earlier and more intensive mobilization along with personalized breathing exercises for patients recovering from abdominal surgery. It will evaluate outcomes such as length of hospital stay, recovery speed, and complications, while also identifying factors that may predict the need for early interventions post-surgery. The study will involve patients undergoing various types of abdominal surgical procedures at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
