Abstract
BackgroundChordoma is a malignant bone and soft tissue tumor derived from embryonic notochord remnants, and skull base chordoma accounts for ~1/3 of all chordoma cases. Skull base chordoma is closely related to the brainstem and cranial nerves and has a high recurrence rate. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the timing of tracheal extubation on perioperative pulmonary complications. We also aimed to explore predictors of postoperative artificial airway (AA) retention in patients with skull base chordoma.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective cohort study. The study population included all skull base chordoma patients undergoing surgical treatment between January 2019 and December 2021 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. Several patient characteristics were evaluated for potential associations with AA retention.ResultsA total of 310 patients with skull base chordoma were enrolled. The frequency of AA retention after surgery for skull base chordoma was 30.97%. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was much lower in those without AA retention (3.74 vs. 39.58%, P < 0.001). Factors with the highest point estimates for the odds of AA retention included body mass index, cranial nerve involvement, maximum tumor diameter, operative method, hemorrhage volume, operative duration and intraoperative mechanical ventilation duration.ConclusionsIn this retrospective cohort study, most of the factors associated with postoperative airway retention were closely related to the patient's tumor characteristics. These data demonstrate that respiratory management in patients with skull base chordoma remains an ongoing concern.

Abstract
Background Patients presenting for major surgery with low cardiorespiratory fitness (deconditioning) and other modifiable risk factors are at increased risk of postoperative complications. This study investigated the feasibility of delivering prehabilitation in high-risk patients scheduled for major abdominal cancer surgery. Methods Eligible patients in this single-center cohort study included patients with poor fitness (objectively assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise testing, CPET) scheduled for elective major abdominal cancer surgery. Patients were recruited to participate in a prehabilitation program that spanned up to 6 weeks pre-operatively and comprised aerobic and resistance exercise training, breathing exercise, and nutritional support. The primary outcome assessed pre-specified feasibility targets: recruitment >70%, retention >85%, and intervention adherence >70%. Secondary outcomes were assessed for improved pre-operative functional status and health-related quality of life and for postoperative complications. Results Eighty-two (34%) out of 238 patients screened between April 2018 and December 2019 were eligible for recruitment. Fifty (61%) patients (52% males) with a median age of 71 (IQR, 63–77) years participated in the study. Baseline oxygen consumption the at anaerobic threshold and at peak exercise (mean±SD: 9.8±1.8 and 14.0±2.9 mL/kg/min, respectively) confirmed the deconditioned state of the study cohort. The retention rate within the prehabilitation program was 84%, with 42 participants returning for repeat CPET testing. While >60% of participants preferred to do home-based prehabilitation, adherence to the intervention was low—with only 12 (28%) and 15 (35%) of patients having self-reported compliance >70% with their exercise prescriptions. Conclusion Our prehabilitation program in high-risk cancer surgery patients did not achieve pre-specified targets for recruitment, retention, and self-reported program adherence. These findings underpin the importance of implementation research and strategies for the prehabilitation programs in major surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality following upper abdominal surgery. Applying either noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in the early postoperative period is suggested to prevent PPC. We aimed to assess whether postoperative NIV or CPAP or both prevent PPCs compared with standard care in adults undergoing upper abdominal surgery, including in those identified at higher PPC risk. Additionally, the different interventions used were evaluated to assess whether there is a superior approach. DATA SOURCES We searched PubMed, Embase' CINAHL, CENTRAL, and Scopus from inception to May 17, 2021. STUDY SELECTION We performed a systematic search of the literature for randomized controlled trials evaluating prophylactic NIV and/or CPAP in the postoperative period. DATA EXTRACTION Two authors independently performed study selection and data extraction. Individual study risk of bias was assessed using the PEDro scale, and certainty in outcomes was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework. DATA SYNTHESIS We included 17 studies enrolling 6,108 patients. No significant benefit was demonstrated for postoperative NIV/CPAP to reduce PPC (risk ratio [RR], 0.89; 95% CI, 0.78-1.01; very low certainty), including in adults identified at higher PPC risk (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.77-1.07; very low certainty). No intervention approach was identified as superior, and no significant benefit was demonstrated when comparing: 1) CPAP (RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.79-1.04; very low certainty), 2) NIV (RR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.41-1.13; very low certainty), 3) continuous NIV/CPAP (RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.77-1.05; very low certainty), or 4) intermittent NIV/CPAP (RR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.39-1.10; very low certainty) to standard care. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest routine provision of either prophylactic NIV or CPAP following upper abdominal surgery may not be effective to reduce PPCs' including in those identified at higher risk.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund Große Operationen am Bauchraum stellen die größte Gruppe der Operationen in Deutschland dar. Besonders Patient*innen mit Komorbiditäten zeigen ein hohes Risiko für die Entwicklung postoperativer respiratorischer Komplikationen und damit einhergehend postoperativer Einbußen der körperlichen Funktionsfähigkeit. Obwohl präoperative Physiotherapie positiven Einfluss auf die Komplikationsrate nehmen kann, wird sie in Deutschland nicht regelhaft umgesetzt.
Ziel Untersuchung der Machbarkeit einer digitalen Umsetzung präoperativer Physiotherapie aus der Perspektive von Ärzt*innen, Physiotherapierenden und Patient*innen. Dazu werden Bedarfe an eine digitale Intervention sowie inhaltliche und technische Anforderungen erfragt.
Methode In einer qualitativen Studie wurden 2 Ärzt*innen, 5 Physiotherapierende und 2 Patienten interviewt. Die Daten wurden transkribiert und mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse nach Schreier 35 ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse Die Ergebnisse bestätigten die hohe Relevanz der präoperativen Versorgung. Digitale Interventionen können die in diesem Zusammenhang existierende Versorgungslücke schließen. Die formulierten Anforderungen an eine Individualisierung und einen motivierenden Charakter können insbesondere durch Apps realisiert werden.
Diskussion Die zu entwickelnde App soll darauf abzielen 1.) eine Verhaltensänderung anzubahnen, 2.) Wissen zu vermitteln und 3.) Übungen anzuleiten. Vor dem Hintergrund der Zielsetzungen und dem Kontext, in dem die App Anwendung finden soll, ist von einer hohen Komplexität bei der Entwicklung und besonders der Implementierung auszugehen. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht die vorgelegte Analyse eine direkte Bearbeitung der identifizierten Herausforderungen.
Schlussfolgerung Die Entwicklung einer App als Teil der präoperativen Vorbereitung hat das Potenzial, eine aktuelle Versorgungslücke zu schließen und die möglichen negativen Folgen einer Operation zu adressieren. Die vorgelegte Studie gibt Hinweise für die nächsten Entwicklungsschritte.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). We evaluated whether enhanced recovery after surgery plus pulmonary rehabilitation was superior over enhanced recovery after surgery alone in reducing the incidence of postoperative PPCs and length of hospital stay. METHODS In this pragmatic multicentre, randomised controlled, parallel-group clinical trial, eligible patients scheduled for video-assisted lung cancer surgery were randomly assigned (1:1) to either a newly developed programme that integrated preoperative and postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation components into a generic thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery pathway, or routine thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery. Primary outcome was the overall occurrence of PPCs within 2 weeks after surgery. Secondary outcomes were the occurrence of specific complications, time to removal of chest drain, and length of hospital stay (LOS). RESULTS Of 428 patients scheduled for lung cancer surgery, 374 were randomised with 187 allocated to the experimental programme and 187 to control. Incidence of PPCs at 14 Days was 18.7% (35/187) in the experimental group and 33.2% (62/187) in the control group (intention-to-treat, unadjusted HR 0.524, 95% CI 0.347 to 0.792, p=0.002). Particularly, significant risk reduction was observed regarding pleural effusion, pneumonia and atelectasis. Time to removal of chest drain and LOS were not significantly reduced in the experimental group. CONCLUSIONS Adding pulmonary rehabilitation to enhanced recovery after surgery appears to be effective in reducing the incidence of PPCs, but not LOS. Standard integration of pulmonary rehabilitation into thoracic enhanced recovery after surgery is a promising approach to PPC prophylaxis. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR1900024646.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine whether a high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP ≥5 cmH2O) has a protective effect on the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in a cohort of patients living at high altitudes and undergoing general anaesthesia. DESIGN Retrospective, observational study. SETTING A tertiary hospital in China. PARTICIPANTS Adult Tibetan patients living at high altitudes (≥3000 m) and who went to the low-altitude plain to undergo non-cardiothoracic surgery under general anaesthesia, from January 2018 to April 2020. MEASUREMENTS This study included 1905 patients who were divided according to the application of an intraoperative PEEP: low PEEP (<5 cmH2O, including 0 cmH2O) or high PEEP (≥5 cmH2O). The primary outcome was a composite of PPCs within the first 7 postoperative days. The secondary outcomes included reintubation and unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission within the first 7 postoperative days and total hospital stays (day). RESULTS The study included 1032 patients in the low PEEP group and 873 in the high PEEP group. There were no differences in the incidence of PPCs between the high and low PEEP groups (relative risk (RR) 0.913; 95% CI 0.716 to 1.165; p=0.465). After propensity score matching, 643 patients remained in each group, and the incidence of PPCs in the low PEEP group (18.0%) was higher than in the high PEEP group (13.7%; RR 0.720; 95% CI 0.533 to 0.974; p=0.033). There were no differences in the incidence of reintubation, unplanned ICU admission or hospital stays. The risk factors of PPCs derived from multiple regression showed that the application of >5 cmH2O PEEP during intraoperative mechanical ventilation was associated with a significantly lower risk of PPCs in patients from a high altitude (OR=0.725, 95% CI 0.530 to 0.992; p=0.044). CONCLUSIONS The application of PEEP ≥5 cmH2O during intraoperative mechanical ventilation in patients living at high altitudes and undergoing surgery at low altitudes may be associated with a lower risk of PPCs. Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to further investigate perioperative lung protection ventilation strategies for patients from high altitudes.

Abstract
Introduction Recently, accelerometers have received much attention around the world. This study examined whether preoperative physical activity level measured by an accelerometer can be a useful predictor of post-hepatectomy complications. Methods Between December 2016 and December 2020, the physical activity levels of 185 patients were measured using an accelerometer 3 days before hepatectomy and from postoperative day 1 to 7. The patients without postoperative complications (n=153) and those with postoperative complications (n=32) were compared using either the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for nominal variables; continuous variables were analyzed using either Student's t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. Differences were considered statistically significant when p-value was <0.05. Risk factors for postoperative complications following hepatectomy were also investigated. Results The number of patients with an anatomical resection was significantly higher in patients with postoperative complications (p=0.001). Furthermore, laparoscopic hepatectomy was performed in 65.4% of patients without postoperative complications and in 25.0% of those with postoperative complications; the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The average preoperative physical activity level was 150.6 kcal/day in patients without postoperative complications and 84.5 kcal/day in those with postoperative complications (p=0.001). Multivariate analysis identified blood loss, operative time, and preoperative physical activity level as independent risk factors for postoperative complications. Discussion/Conclusion Patients with lower preoperative physical activity levels are at a high risk of developing postoperative complications after hepatectomy. Hence, preoperative physical activity level measurement may be useful in predicting post-hepatectomy complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The type, timing, and extent of provision of rehabilitation for lumbar discectomy patients in the UK are currently unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the provision and type of rehabilitation for patients undergoing lumbar discectomy in UK neurosurgical centers. METHOD Physical therapists involved in treating lumbar discectomy patients in UK neurosurgery centers were invited to complete an online survey that asked about the type, timing (preop, postop), and rehabilitation content for patients undergoing lumbar discectomy. RESULTS Seventeen UK neurosurgery centers completed the survey. Twelve (36%) responded from the 33 centers targeted as well as an additional five private centers. All participating centers provided a rehabilitation service for lumbar discectomy patients. Rehabilitation was provided preoperatively in n = 6 (35%) centers, postoperatively as an inpatient in all centers, and postoperatively as an outpatient in n = 14 (82%) centers. Factors that influenced the decision to provide rehabilitation included both external and internal or patient-related factors. Preoperative rehabilitation focused mainly on education, whilst postoperative outpatient rehabilitation focused more on exercises. Rehabilitation consistently included mobility, functional task training, and exercise prescription. CONCLUSIONS Whilst all neurosurgical centers in this survey provided some form of rehabilitation for patients undergoing LD surgery, the approach remains inconsistent. Rehabilitation was delivered most frequently postoperatively, with one in three centers providing it preoperatively. Rehabilitation content also varied depending on when it was provided. Further research is needed to determine the optimum timing, contents, and target of rehabilitation for patients undergoing LD surgery.

Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients With Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Implantation—Implications for Physiotherapists. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:904961. [PMID: 35665252 PMCID: PMC9160231 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.904961] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To investigate the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and short-term recovery after transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation (TTVI). Methods A total of 17 patients diagnosed with severe tricuspid regurgitation who received a LuX-valve TTVI were included in this study. Spirometry lung function, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and 6-min walk test distance (6MWD) were recorded. Prior to surgery, patients were stratified into high or low pulmonary risk groups based on published predefined criteria. A physiotherapist provided all patients with education on thoracic expansion exercises, effective cough and an inspiratory muscle training protocol at 50% of MIP for 3 days preoperatively. All patients received standard post-operative physiotherapy intervention including positioning, thoracic expansion exercises, secretion removal techniques and mobilization. Patients were assessed for PPCs as defined by the Melbourne-Group Score-version 2. Clinical characteristics and hospital stay, cost, functional capacity, and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) heart failure score were recorded at admission, 1-week, and 30-days post-op. Results The mean (SD) age of the 17 patients was 68.4 (8.0) years and 15 (88%) were female. Pre-surgical assessment identified 8 patients (47%) at high risk of PPCs. A total of 9 patients (53%) developed PPCs between the 1st and 3rd day post-surgery, and 7 of these 9 patients were amongst the 8 predicted as “high risk” prior to surgery. One patient died before the 30 day follow up. Pre-operative pulmonary risk assessment score, diabetes mellitus, a low baseline MIP and 6MWD were associated with a high incidence of PPCs. Compared to those without PPCs, patients with PPCs had longer ICU and hospital stay, and higher hospitalization cost. At 30 days post-surgery, patients without PPCs maintained higher MIP and 6MWD compared to those with PPCs, but there were no significant between-group differences in other lung function parameters nor KCCQ. Conclusion This is the first study to report the incidence of PPCs post TTVI. Despite a 3-day prehabilitation protocol and standard post-operative physiotherapy, PPCs were common among patients after TTVI and significantly impacted on hospital and short-term recovery and outcomes. In the majority of patients, PPCs could be accurately predicted before surgery. A comprehensive prehabilitation program should be considered for patients prior to TTVI.

Abstract
Upper abdominal surgeries are associated with postoperative pulmonary complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative chest physiotherapy on the clinical outcome in upper abdominal surgery patients. Fifty patients were equally randomised into control (general care) and intervention (preoperative chest physiotherapy) groups. Forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, duration of surgery and days spent in intensive unit care were recorded. The intergroup difference in the spirometric values was significant post-surgery. A total of 11 patients experienced postoperative pulmonary complications. Significant difference in the mean duration of surgery and duration of stay in the intensive care unit in both the study groups was observed. Incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was significantly associated with number of days spent in the intensive care unit. Significant increase in the spirometric values post-surgery in the intervention group implies the importance of preoperative chest physiotherapy in reducing postoperative complications.

Abstract
Background Radical surgery is the mainstream treatment for patients presenting with advanced primary or recurrent gastrointestinal cancers; however, the rate of postoperative complications is exceptionally high. The current evidence suggests that improving patients’ fitness during the preoperative period may enhance postoperative recovery. Thus, the primary aim of this study is to establish the effectiveness of prehabilitation with a progressive, individualised, preoperative exercise and education program compared to usual care alone in reducing the proportion of patients with postoperative in-hospital complications. The secondary aims are to investigate the effectiveness of the preoperative intervention on reducing the length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, improving quality of life and morbidity, and reducing costs. Methods This is a multi-centre, assessor-blinded, pragmatic, comparative, randomised controlled trial. A total of 172 patients undergoing pelvic exenteration, cytoreductive surgery, oesophagectomy, hepatectomy, gastrectomy or pancreatectomy will be recruited. Participants will be randomly allocated to prehabilitation with a preoperative exercise and education program (intervention group), delivered over 4 to 8 weeks before surgery by community physiotherapists/exercise physiologists, or usual care alone (control group). The intervention will comprise 12 to 24 individualised, progressive exercise sessions (including aerobic/anaerobic, resistance, and respiratory exercises), recommendations of home exercises (16 to 32 sessions), and daily incidental physical activity advice. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, the week prior to surgery, during the hospital stay, and on the day of discharge from hospital, and 1 month and 1 months postoperatively. The primary outcome will be the development of in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes include the length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, quality of life, postoperative morbidity and costs. Discussion The successful completion of this trial will provide robust and high-quality evidence on the efficacy of a preoperative community- and home-based exercise and education intervention on important postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing major gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Trial registration This trial was registered prospectively with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12621000617864) on 24th May 2021.

Abstract
Purpose The non-local anesthetic effects of lidocaine have been widely reported, but there are still few studies on lung protection. We aimed to test the hypothesis that intravenous infusion of lidocaine exerts lung-protective effects in patients at intermediate/high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) on major abdominal surgery. Patients and Methods Patients ≥18 years, ASA II or III, with intermediate/high risk for PPCs, were included. Patients were randomly assigned into group lidocaine (received a bolus of lidocaine 1.5 mg kg−1 before the induction of anesthesia, then followed by a continuous infusion of 2.0 mg kg−1 h−1 intraoperatively until the end of surgery) or group control (received 0.9% saline in place of lidocaine at the same time points). The incidence of PPCs within 7 postoperative days was measured, defined as a collapsed composite outcome of atelectasis, respiratory infection, pleural effusion, pneumonia, respiratory failure or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) developed within 7 postoperative days, or hospital discharge, whichever came sooner. Results Of 200 subjects screened, 195 patients were finally analyzed. Overall, 35.9% (70/195) patients sustained PPCs, which occurred fewer in group lidocaine 25.8% (25/97), compared with group control 45.9% (45/98) (relative risk: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.84; absolute risk reduction: −20.1%; P = 0.003). Considering single PPCs episode, the most common PPC in both groups was atelectasis. The atelectasis incidence was 11.3% (11/97) in group lidocaine, much lower than that in group control 29.6% (29/98) (relative risk: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.72; absolute risk reduction: −18.3%, P = 0.002). However, the incidences of any other PPCs episodes were similar between the two groups. Conclusion Intraoperative intravenous infusion lidocaine could decrease the incidence of PPCs in patients at intermediate/high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Abstract
Objective This study evaluated the effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of early rehabilitation for patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods In a three-arm randomized controlled trial, patients who underwent CABG from January 2018 to June 2018 were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (i) usual care (UC group); (ii) UC + single general ward rehabilitation (SGR group); and (iii) UC + general ward rehabilitation and intensive care unit (ICU) rehabilitation (IGR group). The primary outcome was the Barthel Index scores. Results The Barthel Index score for UC (75.3 ± 12.1) was significantly lower than that of both SGR (86.2 ± 14.1) and IGR (89.1 ± 15.5). There was no significant difference in the Barthel Index scores between the SGR and IGR groups. Statistically significant differences were found in the length of ICU stay and post-operative hospital stay but not in post-operative pulmonary complications (PPC) or atrial fibrillation between the three groups. Conclusion Early rehabilitation implemented during ICU stay and on the general ward resulted in significant improvements in functional independence and could be a safe part of routine care post-CABG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Major cardiothoracic or abdominal surgery can lead to the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), associated with increased morbidity and prolonged length of hospital stay. Preventive chest physiotherapy is routinely provided, but optimization of treatment strategies is needed to improve patient outcome and resource utilization. OBJECTIVE To develop a preoperative risk prediction scorelr to assist clinical decision-making regarding physiotherapy interventions. METHODS A prospective observational single-center study included 339 of 577 eligible patients admitted for major elective cardiothoracic or abdominal surgery. Primary outcome measure was PPC amendable to chest physiotherapy. RESULTS A total of 113 patients (33.3%) developed a PPC. Logistic regression modeling identified four independent predictors of PPC presented with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval. Reduced lung function (FEV1 > 50% to <75% OR 2.4 (1.4; 4.3) and FEV1 ≤ 50% OR 4.7 (1.4;16.0)), Recent unintended weight loss OR 4.5 (1.1; 18.7), Sternotomy OR 3.5 (2.0; 6.0) and Thoraco-abdominal incision OR 4.5 (2.1; 10.1). Based on assigned point values, a score dividing patients into three risk groups was developed. The score had moderate discrimination (c-statistic 0.70). CONCLUSION By following recommended guidelines (TRIPOD) a preoperative risk prediction score including four predictors of PPC was developed. External validation of the score is currently being investigated.

Abstract
Introduction
Prehabilitation concerns preoperative activities aimed in proper preparation to undergo a surgery and improve postoperative recovery. It includes the interdisciplinary approach by presurgical improvement of physical fitness and nourishment status, mental training and quitting addictions. The aim of the study was to investigate the recent publications in the field of prehabilitation.
Methods
We performed a systematic review in the PubMed database using the formula ‘preopreative OR before surgery, postoperative OR after surgery, prehabilitation’. The inclusion criteria were studies with a minimum population of 50 patients, including preoperative interventions, defined with a term prehabilitation, and their impact on a postoperative course of the patient. Three hundred seventy records were revealed and 13 studies were finally included in the analysis.
Results
According to qualified studies, prehabilitation improves significantly postoperative complications rate, length of hospital stay, postoperative physical activity, treatment costs, perioperative transfusions rate, antibiotic administration, and following the postoperative recommendations by patients. On the other hand, there is a lack of statistically significant impact of prehabilitation on quality of life, psychological condition, readmissions, and reoperations.
Discussion
Prehabilitation promotes development of multimodal care putting the patient’s well-being in the centre. Numerous studies indicate positive results of prehabilitation programs.
The final results depend on the protocol of prehabilitation, selected group of patients and standard of care of the center.
Conclusion
Prehabilitation is necessary for providing the highest quality of care for a surgical patient. Interdisciplinary approach benefit a patient during the operation as well as in the postoperative period. Every surgical clinic should be aware of the idea of prehabilitation and possibly create their own programs.

Abstract
QUESTION In people with non-small cell lung cancer, what is the effect of condensing 15 prehabilitation sessions into a 3-week regimen compared with a 5-week regimen? DESIGN Randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis and blinded assessment of the primary outcome. PARTICIPANTS People with diagnosed or suspected non-small cell lung cancer and moderate-to-high risk of postoperative complications. INTERVENTION Fifteen supervised prehabilitation sessions delivered with either a dense regimen of five sessions/week for 3 weeks (experimental group) or a non-dense regimen of three sessions/week for 5 weeks (control group). OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the change in cardiorespiratory fitness measured by the V̇O2peak in ml/kg/min. The secondary outcomes were the change in other variables of interest measured during cardiopulmonary exercise testing, non-invasive nutritional markers, quadriceps maximal voluntary isometric contractions, maximal inspiratory pressure, quality of life, adherence and postoperative complications. RESULTS Changes with the experimental regimen were similar to or better than changes with the control regimen for: V̇O2peak (MD 1.2 ml/kg/min, 95% CI -0.1 to 2.6); V̇E/V̇CO2 slope (MD -3.6 points, 95% CI -8.7 to 1.5); and work rate at ventilatory threshold (MD 3.7 W, 95% CI -5.6 to 13.0). The two regimens had similar effects on: peak work rate (MD 1.3 W, 95% CI -6.4 to 9.0), V̇O2 at ventilatory threshold (MD 0.0 ml/kg/min, 95% CI -1.4 to 1.4); body mass index (MD -0.2 kg/m2, 95% CI -0.5 to 0.1); and maximal inspiratory pressure (MD -0.7 cmH2O, 95% CI -9.8 to 8.4). The relative effect was uncertain for quadriceps maximal voluntary isometric contractions, quality of life and complications. CONCLUSION Condensing prehabilitation sessions led to similar or better improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and did not decrease adherence or increase adverse events. This could increase the number of patients who can be referred for prehabilitation, despite short presurgical periods. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03936764.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Major surgeries are highly complex procedures and have a higher incidence of respiratory morbidity and mortality compared to other types of surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are common after such surgeries and are associated with increased hospital stay, health care costs and surgical patient mortality. Objective: To investigate the most commonly used physical therapy techniques for the prevention and treatment of PPC among thoracic and abdominal surgery patients in all regions of Brazil. Methods: A total of 489 randomly selected physiotherapists who provided perioperative care for patients undergoing elective abdominal, thoracic or cardiac surgeries participated in this study. A questionnaire with nine questions about routine care and therapeutic choices for the surgical population was developed and assessed by 10 specialists before being administered to the physiotherapists. Results: Among the physiotherapists (63% with at least 5 years of experience with surgical patients), 50.9% considered the patient’s surgical risk in their treatment either always or often. A total of 53.8% patients were treated by the physiotherapist following a physician’s prescription. The most mentioned physical therapy techniques used to prevent PPC were postoperative mobilization/exercises (59.3%), postoperative lung expansion (52.8%), and preoperative advice (50.7%). In addition, 80.6% of the physiotherapists believe that incentive spirometry prevents PPC, while 72.8% expected this effect from positive airway pressure devices. Conclusion: Most physiotherapists in Brazil who work with surgical patients offer preoperative professional advice, use postoperative early mobilization and lung expansion techniques to prevent PPC, and consider the patient's surgical risk during treatment. In addition, some physical therapy sessions are routinely performed preoperatively.

Abstract
Background Physiotherapy is a major cornerstone of enhanced rehabilitation after surgery (ERAS) and reduces the development of atelectasis after thoracic surgery. By initiating physiotherapy in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), the aim was to evaluate whether the ultra-early initiation of rehabilitation (in the first hour following tracheal extubation) would improve the outcomes of patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery. Methods A case–control study with a before-and-after design was conducted. From a historical control group, patients were paired at a 3:1 ratio with an intervention group. This group consisted of patients treated with the ultra-early rehabilitation programme after elective thoracic surgery (clear fluids, physiotherapy, and ambulation). The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia during the hospital stay. Results After pairing, 675 patients were allocated to the historical control group and 225 patients to the intervention group. A significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia was found in the latter (11.4 versus 6.7 per cent respectively; P = 0.042) and remained significant on multivariate analysis (OR 0.53, 95 per cent c.i. 0.26 to 0.98; P = 0.045). A subgroup analysis of the intervention group showed that early ambulation during the PACU stay was associated with a further significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia (2.2 versus 9.5 per cent; P = 0.012). Conclusions Ultra-early rehabilitation in the PACU was associated with a decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia after major elective thoracic surgery.

Abstract
The development of pulmonary atelectasis is common in the surgical patient. Pulmonary atelectasis can cause various degrees of gas exchange and respiratory mechanics impairment during and after surgery. In its most serious presentations, lung collapse could contribute to postoperative respiratory insufficiency, pneumonia, and worse overall clinical outcomes. A specific risk assessment is critical to allow clinicians to optimally choose the anesthetic technique, prepare appropriate monitoring, adapt the perioperative plan, and ensure the patient's safety. Bedside diagnosis and management have benefited from recent imaging advancements such as lung ultrasound and electrical impedance tomography, and monitoring such as esophageal manometry. Therapeutic management includes a broad range of interventions aimed at promoting lung recruitment. During general anesthesia, these strategies have consistently demonstrated their effectiveness in improving intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory compliance. Yet these same intraoperative strategies may fail to affect additional postoperative pulmonary outcomes. Specific attention to the postoperative period may be key for such outcome impact of lung expansion. Interventions such as noninvasive positive pressure ventilatory support may be beneficial in specific patients at high risk for pulmonary atelectasis (e.g., obese) or those with clinical presentations consistent with lung collapse (e.g., postoperative hypoxemia after abdominal and cardiothoracic surgeries). Preoperative interventions may open new opportunities to minimize perioperative lung collapse and prevent pulmonary complications. Knowledge of pathophysiologic mechanisms of atelectasis and their consequences in the healthy and diseased lung should provide the basis for current practice and help to stratify and match the intensity of selected interventions to clinical conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High toll of traffic-related injuries, climate change, natural disasters, population aging, as well as chronic diseases have all made considerable demands on receiving physiotherapy services in Iran. Nevertheless, there is an assortment of complications facing utilization of such services, particularly poor insurance coverage. Therefore, the present study investigated and identified gaps in insurance coverage in order to inform future policy reforms and the design of a more comprehensive and universal benefits package for physiotherapy services in Iran. METHODS This project was carried out in Iran, using a mix-methods (viz. qualitative-quantitative) approach. Within the first phase, a qualitative study was completed to find policy recommendations. Such recommendations were then prioritized through the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), in the second phase, based on effectiveness, acceptability, cost, fairness, feasibility, and time. RESULTS Within the first phase, a total number of 30 semi-structured interviews with health policy-makers, health insurers, faculty members, rehabilitation experts, and physiotherapists were completed. Several policy recommendations were also proposed by the study participants. Following the second phase, prioritized recommendations were provided to promote stewardship (e.g., informing policy-makers about physiotherapy services), collection of funds (e.g., placing value-added taxes on luxury goods and services), pooling of funds (e.g., moving allocated resources towards insurance (viz. third-party) mechanism), purchasing (e.g., using strategic purchasing), and benefit package (e.g., considering preventive interventions) as the main components of insurance coverage. CONCLUSION The study findings provided a favorable ground to improve insurance coverage for physiotherapy services in Iran. As well, decision- and policy-makers can place these recommendations on the agenda in the health sector to protect population health status, especially that of groups with disabilities.

Abstract
Background The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) is increasing in line with the rise in the number of surgical procedures performed on geriatric patients. In this study, we determined the incidence and risk factors of PPCs in elderly Thai patients who underwent upper abdominal procedures, and we investigated whether the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) score helps to predict PPCs in Thais. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on upper abdominal surgical patients aged over 65 years who had been admitted to the surgical ward of Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, between January 2016 and December 2019. Data were collected on significant PPCs using the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome definitions. To identify risk factors, evaluations were made of the relationships between the PPCs and various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors, including ARISCAT scores. Results In all, 1100 elderly postoperative patients were analyzed. Their mean age was 73.6 years, and 48.5% were male. Nearly half of their operations were laparoscopic cholecystectomies. The incidence of PPCs was 7.7%, with the most common being pleural effusion, atelectasis, and pneumonia. The factors associated with PPCs were preoperative oxygen saturation less than 96% (OR = 2.6, 1.2–5.5), albumin level below 3.5 g/dL (OR = 1.7, 1.0–2.8), duration of surgery exceeding 3 h (OR = 2.0, 1.0–4.2), and emergency surgery (OR = 2.8, 1.4–5.8). There was a relationship between ARISCAT score and PPC incidence, with a correlation coefficient of 0.226 (P < 0.001). The area under the curve was 0.72 (95% CI, 0.665–0.774; P < 0.001). Conclusions PPCs are common in elderly patients. They are associated with increased levels of postoperative morbidities and extended ICU and hospital stays. Using the ARISCAT score as an assessment tool facilitates the classification of Thai patients into PPC risk groups. The ARISCAT scoring system might be able to be similarly applied in other Southeast Asian countries.

Abstract
Introduction: After abdominal surgery, the patients who are separated from mechanical ventilation and provided with oxygen therapy via a T-piece are at risk for respiratory complications. Therefore, they need additional respiratory support. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of manual hyperinflation (MHI) on pulmonary function after weaning. Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 40 patients who had undergone abdominal surgery and were receiving oxygen via a T-piece. Patients were selected from the intensive care units (ICU) of two hospitals in Mashhad, Iran. The subjects were randomly allocated to intervention (MHI) and control groups. Patients in the MHI group were provided with three 20-minute MHI rounds using the Mapleson C, while the control group received routine cares. Tidal volume (Vt), Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI), and the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen (P/F ratio) were measured before the intervention, as well as 5 and 20 minutes after the intervention. Atelectasis prevalence was assessed before and 24 hours after the intervention. Data were analysed by SPSS software version 13. Results: At baseline, there were no significant differences between the groups regarding Vt, RSBI, P/F ratio, and atelectasis rate. No significant difference was also found between the groups regarding atelectasis rate 24 hours after the intervention. However, at both posttests, Vt, RSBI, and P/F ratio in the MHI group were significantly better than the control group. Conclusion: In patients with artificial airway and spontaneous breathing, MHI improves pulmonary function.

Abstract
Background Preoperative education and breathing exercise training by a physiotherapist minimises pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery. Effects on specific clinical outcomes such as antibiotic prescriptions, chest imaging, sputum cultures, oxygen requirements, and diagnostic coding are unknown. Methods This post hoc analysis of prospectively collected data within a double-blinded, multicentre, randomised controlled trial involving 432 participants having major abdominal surgery explored effects of preoperative education and breathing exercise training with a physiotherapist on postoperative antibiotic prescriptions, hypoxemia, sputum cultures, chest imaging, auscultation, leukocytosis, pyrexia, oxygen therapy, and diagnostic coding, compared to a control group who received a booklet alone. All participants received standardised postoperative early ambulation. Outcomes were assessed daily for 14 postoperative days. Analyses were intention-to-treat using adjusted generalised multivariate linear regression. Results Preoperative physiotherapy was associated with fewer antibiotic prescriptions specific for a respiratory infection (RR 0.52; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.85, p = 0.01), less purulent sputum on the third and fourth postoperative days (RR 0.50; 95% CI 0.34 to 0.73, p = 0.01), fewer positive sputum cultures from the third to fifth postoperative day (RR 0.17; 95% CI 0.04 to 0.77, p = 0.01), and less oxygen therapy requirements (RR 0.49; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.78, p = 0.002). Treatment effects were specific to respiratory clinical coding domains. Conclusions Preoperative physiotherapy prevents postoperative pulmonary complications and is associated with the minimisation of signs and symptoms of pulmonary collapse/consolidation and airway infection and specifically results in reduced oxygen therapy requirements and antibiotic prescriptions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the benefits and harms of pre-admission interventions (prehabilitation) on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major elective surgery. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) (published or unpublished). We searched Medline, Embase, CENTRAL, DARE, HTA and NHS EED, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsychINFO and ISI Web of Science (June 2020). SETTING Secondary care. PARTICIPANTS Patients (≥18 years) undergoing major elective surgery (curative or palliative). INTERVENTIONS Any intervention administered in the preoperative period with the aim of improving postoperative outcomes. OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcomes were 30-day mortality, hospital length of stay (LoS) and postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included LoS in intensive care unit or high dependency unit, perioperative morbidity, hospital readmission, postoperative pain, heath-related quality of life, outcomes specific to the intervention, intervention-specific adverse events and resource use. REVIEW METHODS Two authors independently extracted data from eligible RCTs and assessed risk of bias and the certainty of evidence using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Random-effects meta-analyses were used to pool data across trials. RESULTS 178 RCTs including eight types of intervention were included. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT), immunonutrition and multimodal interventions reduced hospital LoS (mean difference vs usual care: -1.81 days, 95% CI -2.31 to -1.31; -2.11 days, 95% CI -3.07 to -1.15; -1.67 days, 95% CI -2.31 to -1.03, respectively). Immunonutrition reduced infective complications (risk ratio (RR) 0.64 95% CI 0.40 to 1.01) and IMT, and exercise reduced postoperative pulmonary complications (RR 0.55, 95% CI 0.38 to 0.80, and RR 0.54, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.75, respectively). Smoking cessation interventions reduced wound infections (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.64). CONCLUSIONS Some prehabilitation interventions may reduce postoperative LoS and complications but the quality of the evidence was low. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42015019191.

Effects of exercise training in people with non-small cell lung cancer before lung resection: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Thorax 2021; 77:486-496.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Exercise training before lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer is believed to decrease postoperative complications (POC) by improving cardiorespiratory fitness. However, this intervention lacks a strong evidence base. AIM To assess the effectiveness of preoperative exercise training compared with usual care on POC and other secondary outcomes in patients with scheduled lung resection. METHODS A systematic search of randomised trials was conducted by two authors. Meta-analysis was performed, and the effect of exercise training was estimated by risk ratios (RR) and mean differences, with their CIs. Clinical usefulness was estimated according to minimal important difference values (MID). RESULTS Fourteen studies involving 791 participants were included. Compared with usual care, exercise training reduced overall POC (10 studies, 617 participants, RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.75) and clinically relevant POC (4 studies, 302 participants, Clavien-Dindo score ≥2 RR 0.42, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.69). The estimate of the effect of exercise training on mortality was very imprecise (6 studies, 456 participants, RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.20 to 2.22). The main risks of bias were a lack of participant blinding and selective reporting. Exercise training appeared to improve exercise capacity, pulmonary function and also quality of life and depression, although the clinical usefulness of the changes was unclear. The quality of the evidence was graded for each outcome. CONCLUSION Preoperative exercise training leads to a worthwhile reduction in postoperative complications. These estimates were both accurate and large enough to make recommendations for clinical practice.

Abstract
Background: Prehabilitation to maximize exercise capacity before
lung cancer surgery has the potential to improve operative tolerability and
patient outcomes. However, translation of this evidence into clinical practice
is limited. Aims: To determine the acceptability and perceived
benefit of prehabilitation in lung cancer among thoracic surgeons.
Procedure: 198 cardiothoracic surgeons within Australia and New
Zealand were surveyed to evaluate their attitudes and perceived benefits of
prehabilitation in lung cancer. Results: Response rate was 14%. A
moderate proportion of respondents reported that there is a need to refer lung
resection patients to preoperative physiotherapy/prehabilitation, particularly
high-risk patients or those with borderline fitness for surgery. 91% of surgeons
were willing to delay surgery (as indicated by cancer stage/type) to optimize
patients via prehabilitation. The main barriers to prehabilitation reported were
patient comorbidities and access to allied health professionals, with 33%
stating that they were unsure who to refer to for prehabilitation in thoracic
surgery. This is despite 60% of the cohort reporting that pulmonary
rehabilitation is available as a preoperative resource. 92% of respondents
believe that further research into prehabilitation in lung cancer is warranted.
Conclusion: The benefits of prehabilitation for the oncology
population have been well documented in the literature over recent years and
this is reflected in the perceptions surgeons had on the benefits of
prehabilitation for their patients. This survey demonstrates an interest among
cardiothoracic surgeons in favor of prehabilitation, and therefore further
research and demonstration of its benefit is needed in lung cancer to facilitate
implementation into practice.

Preoperative physical activity and functional performance levels are predictors of acute postoperative outcomes in a private South African colorectal cancer cohort. SOUTH AFRICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOTHERAPY 2021; 77:1526.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with colorectal cancer, surgical resection of the primary tumour remains the best treatment option. Surgery for colorectal cancer is being performed on patients who would previously not have been considered as suitable candidates. It remains to be seen which factors influence hospital length of stay (LOS) and the development of acute postoperative complications in South African patients. OBJECTIVES The objectives of our study were to determine the modifiable factors that influence patients' development of postoperative complications and hospital LOS and, to identify the types of postoperative complications that develop. METHOD A retrospective review and secondary analysis of information in an existing database of patients with colorectal cancer were conducted. Regression analysis statistics were used to determine the predictors of postoperative outcomes. The level of significance at which testing was performed was set at 5% (p ≤ 0.05). RESULTS Data of 125 patients were included. Surgical site infections and postoperative paralytic ileus were the most frequently reported postoperative complications. Preoperative vigorous-intensity physical activity (p = 0.048, β = -0.000) and functional performance status (p = 0.05, β = 0.926) significantly predicted hospital LOS and the incidence of postoperative complications, respectively. CONCLUSION Preoperative physical activity and functional performance levels are predictors of acute postoperative outcomes in a private South African cohort of patients with colorectal cancer. Future research which includes other modifiable factors is required to make informed suggestions for changes in clinical practice. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Patients requiring surgery for colorectal cancer should be screened for signs of physical deconditioning and referred for physiotherapy intervention before elective surgery to optimise their recovery.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of mobilization protocol on mobilization start time, maintenance of mobilization and patient care outcomes in patients who underwent major abdominal open surgery. BACKGROUND Early mobilization in the first 24 hours postoperatively is recommended. Early mobilization is one of the evidence-based, effective nursing interventions that improve patient care outcomes. DESIGN A quasi-experimental non-randomised design was used in the study. METHODS In the study, the groups were followed sequentially and the data of the control group (n = 21) were collected before the intervention group (n = 21). The patients in the control group were mobilised postoperatively by the nurses according to the decision of the nurse and physician in the intensive care unit (ICU) on the day of the operation. There was no standard protocol for mobilization in the ICU. Mobilization training was given to the patients in the intervention group by the researcher nurse the evening before the operation, and a mobilization protocol was applied on the 0th postoperative day. Data on patient care outcomes were collected until the day when the patient was discharged from the hospital. The TREND checklist was followed. RESULTS According to the postoperative comparison of the patients in the intervention group to those in the control group, patients in the intervention group started mobilization earlier after admission in intensive care unit (6.22 ± 1.95 hours versus 12.21 ± 3.76 hours), had higher postoperative 0th -day total mobilization time (128 minutes versus 34 minutes), had a shorter passage of flatus time and length of intensive care unit and hospital stay and had higher sleep quality and satisfaction scores. CONCLUSIONS The structured mobilization protocol is effective in the management of early mobilization and improvement of patient care outcomes. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE mobilization protocols ensure that the mobilization process is maintained effectively.

Abstract
Cachexia is defined as a multifactorial syndrome characterised by involuntary progressive weight loss due to a decrease in skeletal muscle mass, with or without a reduction in adipose tissue. The breakdown of muscle tissue is known as sarcopenia. This is clinically defined as loss of muscle mass and/or muscle strength, with loss of muscle strength being more important than muscle mass. Cachexia is responsible for the death of at least 20% of all cancer patients. The incidence in these patients varies, depending on the type of disease, between 80% for patients with gastric and pancreatic cancer, 50% for patients with lung, colon and prostate cancer, and about 40% for patients with breast cancer or leukemia. It is often difficult to distinguish between tumour-associated cachexia and cachexia caused by side effects and complications of oncological therapy. The main clinical feature of cachexia is involuntary weight loss, but this does not always manifest itself clinically, making it much more difficult to identify patients at risk. Not only the long-term outcome of the patient is influenced by cachexia and sarcopenia. Immediate postoperative complication rates (morbidity) are also increased and have profound effects on the burden of disease and the suffering of patients after surgical treatment. Cachexia, sarcopenia and myosteatosis are therefore highly relevant parameters for everyday clinical practice, which have a significant influence on the postoperative outcome of the patient. Several tools have been developed to aid the identification of patients with nutritional risk, i.e. involuntary weight loss, reduced muscle strength and physical condition. Such measures should be a part of our daily clinical routine to ensure the identification of patients with the highest postoperative risk. Novel preconditioning treatment may be beneficial to certain patient groups to reduce postoperative morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) is a program designed to measure and improve surgical care quality. In 2015, the study institution formed a multidisciplinary team to address the poor adult postoperative pneumonia performance (worst decile). STUDY DESIGN The study institution is a 450+ bed tertiary care center that performs 12,000+ surgical procedures annually. From January 2016 to December 2019, the institution abstracted surgical cases and assigned postoperative pneumonia as a complication per the NSQIP operations manual. Using a plan-do-study-act approach, a multidisciplinary postoperative pneumonia prevention team implemented initiatives regarding incentive spirometry education, anesthetic optimization, early mobility, and oral care. The team measured the initiatives' success by analyzing semiannual reports (SAR) provided by the ACS NSQIP and regional adjusted percentile rankings provided by the Georgia Surgical Quality Collaborative (GSQC). RESULTS The 2015 SAR postoperative pneumonia rate was 4.20% (odds ratio [OR] 3.86, confidence interval [CI] 2.92-5.11). After project initiation, the postoperative pneumonia rates decreased for all NSQIP cases, from 2.51% (OR 2.67, CI 1.89-3.77) in 2016 to 2.08% (OR 2.61, CI 1.82-3.74) in 2017, to 0.85% (OR 1.10, CI 0.69-1.75) in 2018, and then increased slightly to 1.14% (OR 1.27, CI 0.84-1.92) in 2019. The institution's adjusted percentile regional rank of participating regional ACS NSQIP hospitals' postoperative pneumonia rate improved from 14/14 (July 2015-June 2016) to 6/14 (July 2018-June 2019). CONCLUSIONS The multidisciplinary postoperative pneumonia prevention team successfully decreased the postoperative pneumonia rate, therefore improving surgical patients' outcomes. Furthermore, this quality improvement project also saved valuable revenue for the hospital.

Abstract
Background Prehabilitation services assist patients in preparing for surgery, yet access to these services are often limited by geographical factors. Enabling rural and regional patients to access specialist surgical prehabilitation support with the use of telehealth technology has the potential to overcome health inequities and improve post-operative outcomes. Aim To evaluate the current and likely future impact of a telehealth preoperative education package for patients preparing for major abdominal cancer surgery. Methods A telehealth alternative to a hospital based pre-operative education session was developed and implemented at a dedicated cancer hospital. Adult patients (≥18 years) scheduled for elective major cancer surgery were offered this telehealth alternative. Impact evaluation was conducted using the RE-AIM framework. Results To date, 35 participants have consented to participate in the study. Thirty-one participants attended the intervention; 24 (69%) residing in rural or regional areas. Twenty-four (77%) reported that if given a choice they would prefer the online session as opposed to attending the hospital in person. The majority (97%) reported they would recommend the intervention to others preparing for surgery. Session information was recalled by all 26 participants and 77% of participants reported acting on recommendations 2 weeks after the session. Lessons learnt and recommendations for providers implementing similar programs are reported. Conclusion Telehealth alternatives to hospital based pre-operative education are well received by patients preparing for major cancer surgery. We make seven recommendations to improve implementation. Further evaluation of implementation strategies alongside clinical effectiveness in future studies is essential. Trial registration ACTRN12620000096954, 04/02/2020.

Abstract
As octogenarians in the operation room are no longer an exemption but the norm, perioperative management needs to be adopted to meet the special requirements of this group of patients. Anaesthesia does not need to be re-invented to fit the elderly. However, as elderly patients are among those most affected by adverse postoperative outcomes, the same diligence that is as a matter of course exercised in anaesthesiologic care of the youngest patients needs to be exercised for the eldest as well. Aging is associated with characteristic physiologic changes and an overall reduction in compensation width. However, the individual relevance of these changes varies distinctly. A comprehensive preoperative assessment is therefore essential to identify those at high risk. Maintaining functionality and preventing cognitive decline are central elements of perioperative care for frail elders, often only requiring unspectacular, but effective adjustments to established routine care processes. This review focuses on current recommendations in the perioperative anaesthesiologic management of elderly patients with a view towards assisting clinical anaesthesiologists in implementing respective structures in their setting and adjusting care pathways to meet the needs of this vulnerable but growing group of patients and improve their postoperative outcome.

Abstract
Developing respiratory complications postoperatively is one of the major determinants of longer hospital stay, morbidity, mortality and increased healthcare costs. The incidence of postoperative respiratory complications varies from 1% to 23%. Given that postoperative respiratory complications are relatively common and costly, there have been various studies which look at ways to reduce the risk of these occurring. One such protocol is the ICOUGH bundle which stands for Incentive spirometry, Coughing and deep breathing, Oral care, patient Understanding, Getting out of bed and Head of bed elevation. This has been adapted locally to the Coughing and deep breathing, Oral care, patient Understanding, Getting out of bed and Head of bed elevation (COUGH) bundle which consists of these components excluding incentive spirometry. Within our surgical high dependency unit (HDU), the COUGH bundle should be implemented in patients who have a moderate or high risk of developing postoperative respiratory complications with an Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia (ARISCAT) score of 26 or above. Studies have shown that the ICOUGH bundle has reduced rates of pneumonia and unplanned intubation in general surgical and vascular patients. Baseline data taken from surgical HDU showed that the COUGH bundle was not well implemented. One out of eight patients who had an ARISCAT score greater than 26 had the COUGH bundle implemented on admission to the unit. Three out of eight patients had the ARISCAT score documented in their admission medical review. One patient who should have received the bundle, but did not, developed a hospital acquired pneumonia postoperatively. To address this issue, we aimed to increase awareness surrounding the COUGH bundle and to increase the number of patients who had the COUGH bundle started on admission. This quality improvement project had four cycles (plan, do, study, act) and after these, 100% of patients who had an ARISCAT score of 26 or more had the COUGH bundle implemented.

Abstract
Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality from infection in elderly patients. The increased frequency of pneumonia among elderly subjects can be explained by the physiological changes linked to the progressive aging of the respiratory tree and the diminished immunological response. A spiral of event leads to frailty, infection and possible death; preventing pneumonia consists of controlling the risk factors. Dysphagia, which is associated with malnutrition and dehydration, is recognized as one of the major pathophysiological mechanism leading to pneumonia and its screening is crucial for the pneumonia risk assessment. The impairment in the oropharyngeal reflexes results in stagnation of foreign material in the lateral cavities of the pharynx which may then get aspirated repeatedly in the lungs and cause pneumonia. Pneumonia prevention starts with lifestyle modifications such as alcohol and tobacco cessation. A careful review of the risk-benefit of the prescribed medication is critical and adaptation may be required in elders with multiple morbidities. Respiratory physiotherapy and mobilization improve the functional status and hence may help reduce the risk of pneumonia. Maintaining teeth and masticatory efficiency is important if malnutrition and its consequences are to be avoided. Daily oral hygiene and regular professional removal of oral biofilm can prevent the onset of periodontitis and can avoid an oral environment favoring the colonization of respiratory pathogens than can then be aspirated into the lungs.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hospital-associated anxiety and depression are major preoperative stressors and common in colorectal cancer surgery and major abdominal surgery. The prehabilitation Enhanced Recovery After Colorectal Surgery (pERACS) study is a single-center, single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the effect of a structured prehabilitation program. We evaluate within this RCT the association of a prehabilitation program with anxiety and depression before colorectal surgery. METHODS Treatment allocation randomized and single-blinded. Regardless of group allocation, patients were treated according to our institutional Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Inclusion criteria consisted of adult patients suffering from colorectal disease requiring surgical treatment and who were treated according to the ERAS protocol. Anxiety and depression scores were assessed at baseline and at admission according to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), with its subcomponents for depression (HADS-D) and for anxiety (HADS-A). RESULTS A total of 23 patients randomized to prehabilitation (mean age: 64.8±11.5 years) and 25 patients randomized to the control group (64.0±11.9 years) were included. There was no statistically significant difference in HADS-Anxiety improvement (Prehabilitation: -1.7±2.8 points vs. control: -0.4±3.4 points, p=0.132). Similarly, the difference in HADS-Depression improvement among the prehabilitation (1.0±2.4 points) and control (-0.3 ± 4.0 points) groups (p = 0.543) was non-significant. Clinically meaningful improvement in anxiety (60.9%/40.0%, p=0.149) and depression (34.8%/20.0%, p=0.250) was similar among the groups. CONCLUSION In a post hoc analysis of a randomized trial, prehabilitation had no effect on preoperative reduction of anxiety and depression measures. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02746731. Date of registration: April 21, 2016.

Efficacy of Prehabilitation Including Exercise on Postoperative Outcomes Following Abdominal Cancer Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Surg 2021; 8:628848. [PMID: 33816546 PMCID: PMC8017317 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2021.628848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 88] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: This systematic review set out to identify, evaluate and synthesise the evidence examining the effect of prehabilitation including exercise on postoperative outcomes following abdominal cancer surgery. Methods: Five electronic databases (MEDLINE 1946-2020, EMBASE 1947-2020, CINAHL 1937-2020, PEDro 1999-2020, and Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials 1991-2020) were systematically searched (until August 2020) for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effects of prehabilitation interventions in patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery. This review included any form of prehabilitation either unimodal or multimodal that included whole body and/or respiratory exercises as a stand-alone intervention or in addition to other prehabilitation interventions (such as nutrition and psychology) compared to standard care. Results: Twenty-two studies were included in the systematic review and 21 studies in the meta-analysis. There was moderate quality of evidence that multimodal prehabilitation improves pre-operative functional capacity as measured by 6 min walk distance (Mean difference [MD] 33.09 metres, 95% CI 17.69-48.50; p = <0.01) but improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness such as preoperative oxygen consumption at peak exercise (VO2 peak; MD 1.74 mL/kg/min, 95% CI -0.03-3.50; p = 0.05) and anaerobic threshold (AT; MD 1.21 mL/kg/min, 95% CI -0.34-2.76; p = 0.13) were not significant. A reduction in hospital length of stay (MD 3.68 days, 95% CI 0.92-6.44; p = 0.009) was observed but no effect was observed for postoperative complications (Odds Ratio [OR] 0.81, 95% CI 0.55-1.18; p = 0.27), pulmonary complications (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.28-1.01; p = 0.05), hospital re-admission (OR 1.07, 95% CI 0.61-1.90; p = 0.81) or postoperative mortality (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.43-2.09, p = 0.90). Conclusion: Multimodal prehabilitation improves preoperative functional capacity with reduction in hospital length of stay. This supports the need for ongoing research on innovative cost-effective prehabilitation approaches, research within large multicentre studies to verify this effect and to explore implementation strategies within clinical practise.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The programs of enhanced recovery after surgery are the new revolution in surgical departments; however, features of this concept have not been systematically explored. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS)-related research using bibliometric analysis. Materials and Methods: The search strategy of ERAS programs was conducted in the Web of Science database. Bibliometric analysis was further performed by Excel and Bibliometrix software. The relationship between citation counts and Mendeley readers was assessed by linear regression analysis. Results: 8539 studies from 1994-2019 were included in the present research, with reporting studies originating from 91 countries using 18 languages. The United States (US) published the greatest number of articles. International cooperation was discovered in 82 countries, with the most cooperative country being the United Kingdom. Henrik Kehlet was found to have published the highest number of studies. The journal Anesthesia and Analgesia had the largest number of articles. Linear regression analysis presented a strong positive correlation between citations and Mendeley readers. Most research was related to gastrointestinal surgery in this field. Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis shows the current status of ERAS programs from multiple perspectives, and it provides reference and guidance to scholars for further research.

Abstract
Incentive spirometry is frequently used after thoracic surgery as an adjunct to physiotherapy. Despite its widespread use, it has remained challenging to demonstrate a clinical benefit in terms of either incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications or hospital stay. In this literature review, we have observed that, although there is no study supporting clinical benefit in the thoracic surgical patient population generally, there is now emerging evidence of benefit in higher-risk patient populations such as those with COPD. There is an indication that incentive spirometry can lead to a reduction in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in these patients. The problem with studies published to date is that there are many limitations, not least of which is the challenge of achieving patient adherence with performing incentive spirometry as prescribed. Despite the lack of evidence, there remains an appetite for persevering with incentive spirometry in the postoperative thoracic surgical patient because it is a relatively inexpensive intervention that motivates many patients to perform regular breathing exercises long after the therapist has moved on to the next patient.

Abstract
Background: In Brazil, the goal-based approach was named Project ACERTO and has obtained
good results when applied in elective surgeries with shorter hospitalization
time, earlier return to activities without increased morbidity and
mortality. Aim: To analyze the impact of ACERTO on emergency surgery care. Methods: An intervention study was performed at a trauma hospital. Were compared 452
patients undergoing emergency surgery and followed up by the general surgery
service from October to December 2018 (pre-ACERTO, n=243) and from March to
June 2019 (post-ACERTO, n=209). Dietary reintroduction, volume of infused
postoperative venous hydration, duration of use of catheters, probes and
drains, postoperative analgesia, prevention of postoperative vomiting, early
mobilization and physiotherapy were evaluated. Results: After the ACERTO implantation there was earlier reintroduction of the diet,
the earlier optimal caloric intake, earlier venous hydration withdrawal,
higher postoperative analgesia prescription, postoperative vomiting
prophylaxis and higher physiotherapy and mobilization prescription were
achieved early in all (p<0.01); in the multivariate analysis there was no
change in the complication rates observed before and after ACERTO (10.7% vs.
7.7% (p=0.268) and there was a decrease in the length of hospitalization
after ACERTO (8,5 vs. 6,1 dias (p=0.008). Conclusion: The implementation of the ACERTO project decreased the length of hospital
stay, improved medical care provided without increasing the rates of
complications evaluated.

Abstract
Background Postoperative pulmonary complications can be a major catastrophic consequence of major surgeries and can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, hospital stay, and cost. Many protocols have been tried to reduce serious adverse outcomes with effective strategies including a bundle of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative techniques. Using these techniques maybe challenging in developing countries with limited resources even in specialized centers. Methods A before-and-after trial comparing our data from the national surgical quality improvement program (NSQIP) based on their reports. Data was collected prospectively for the patients who underwent major surgeries at King Hussein Cancer Center during the year 2017 when the use of the perioperative pulmonary care bundle was mandatory to all surgery teams and compared it with the data collected retrospectively for the patients who underwent the same type of surgeries in the year 2016 when the use of such a bundle was optional. The primary end point is the decrease in incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. Simple descriptive statistical analysis was used to obtain results. Results The potential risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications for 1665 patients divided into 2 groups (2016 vs. 2017); 764 (45.9%) vs. 901 (54.1%), respectively. There were no significant differences regarding gender (male 46.7% vs. 46.4%, P value = 0.891, female 53.3% vs. 53.6%, P value = 0.39), mean of age (53.5 year vs. 5.28 year, P value = 0.296), mean of body mass index (BMI) (28.6 vs. 6%, 28.6, P value = 0.95), smoking status; (69.6% vs. 65.1%, P value = 0.052), ventilator use (0.3% vs. 0.4% P value = 0.693) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (1.4% vs. 1.4 with, P value = 0.996).The data showed a significant reduction in postoperative pneumonia between the 2 groups (2016 vs. 2017) (2.7% vs. 0.9%, P value = 0.004) and showed a significant reduction in unplanned intubation, 1.4% in 2016 vs. 0.7% in 2017. Conclusions The standardization of perioperative pulmonary care bundle, including smoking cessation, perioperative pulmonary interventions and early mobilization, significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in cancer patients. This technique's implementation was feasible easily even with limited resources in a developing country like Jordan.

Abstract
Objective: To identify common characteristics of landmark physiotherapy clinical trials.Methods: The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) top five trials were compared to 91 physiotherapy trials published in top medical journals and 99 trials randomly selected from PEDro on the following characteristics: PEDro score, sample size, number of trial sites, use of prospective registration, positive or negative trial, citations, citations in guidelines, Altmetric score, impact factor, publications and citations of first and last author, and PEDro codes (sub-discipline, topic, problem, therapy, and body part). Trials were published from 2014 to 2019. One-way independent ANOVA and Chi-squared test evaluated between-group differences.Results: Compared to a random sample of physiotherapy trials, the PEDro top five trials and trials in top medical journals have higher PEDro scores, larger sample sizes, more study sites, more citations (including in guidelines), higher Altmetric scores, more likely to be prospectively registered, less likely to be positive trials, and have first and last authors with more citations and publications. The problem was the only PEDro code was distributed differently across the trial groups.Conclusion: The PEDro top five trials and physiotherapy trials published in the top medical journals have characteristics that may inform the design, conduct, and reporting of future physiotherapy trials.
