Post-Operative Outcomes of Pre-Thoracic Surgery Respiratory Muscle Training vs Aerobic Exercise Training: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To compare the postoperative outcomes of preoperative respiratory muscle training (RMT) with a device to preoperative aerobic exercise training (AET) in patients undergoing thoracic surgeries (cardiac and lung).

Data sources

PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched upon inception to 9/2020.

Study selection

All randomized control studies, including preoperative RMT and preoperative AET compared with a non-training control group, were included.

Data extraction

The meta-analysis was performed for outcomes including postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), pneumonia, postoperative respiratory failure (PRF), hospital length of stay (HLOS), and mortality. We performed a network meta-analysis based on Bayesian random-eff
