Investigating physical changes in patients after lung surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the physical performance, lung function, and muscle strength of patients undergoing pulmonary endarterectomy (PET) during their recovery. Participants aged 18 and older will be evaluated at multiple time points: preoperatively, after ICU discharge, before hospital discharge, and six months post-surgery. Various tests, including the Six-minute walk test and spirometry, will be utilized to measure changes in physical capacity and identify factors contributing to functional loss during hospitalization.
