Telerehabilitation in Lung Surgery Patients

The exercise program includes breathing exercises (chest-abdominal-lateral basal breathing; 10 repetitions), use of intensive spirometry (20 repetitions) and assisted coughing. Apart from this, a progressive mobilization program will be applied considering patient tolerance and hemodynamic parameters, starting after the patient is taken to the service room. The teleconference exercise call will be continued from the postop 1st day until discharge, twice a day.

Patients will be interviewed by videoconferencing method at least 1 day before the operation, their first evaluation will be taken and an exercise booklet will be given.
