What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of an internet-based pre-rehabilitation model for patients undergoing lung surgery, particularly focusing on elderly individuals. It involves family caregivers in the preoperative management process to enhance patient compliance with rehabilitation exercises. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 100 patients, who will be divided into an experimental group receiving family rehabilitation training and a control group receiving routine nursing measures. The study will assess various postoperative outcomes, including lung function, hospital stay duration, and medical expenses.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve recovery outcomes and reduce hospital stays for lung surgery patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using prehabilitation approaches for surgical patients, indicating potential success for this model.
