Brief summary

This trial aims to assess the impact of a multimodal prehabilitation program in high-risk patients undergoing lung resection surgery.

Detailed description

This trial aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of a multimodal prehabilitation program in high-risk patients undergoing lung resection surgery. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the impact of the intervention on: i) Healthcare resuorces use; ii) clinical outcomes; and, iii) patient's and professionals experience with the program. The program includes X main interventions: i) A motivational interview; ii) A high-intensity exercise training program; iii) A plan for physical activity incentivation; iv) A nutritional optimization program; v) A psicologichal support program; and, vi) A smoking cessation program.

Interventions

OTHERUsual care

The standard preoperative measures will consist of a recommendation for physical activity and advice on tobacco smoking cessation and reduction of alcohol intake. In addition, patients who suffer from iron deficient anemia will receive intravenous iron and those at risk of malnutrition (Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool ≥2 (www.bapen.org.uk/pdfs/must/must\_full.pdf)) or that require weight control for obesity (IMC≥30) will perform a nutrition intervention by a nutritionist.

OTHERMultimodal prehabilitation

The experimental group will also carry out a prehabilitation program consisting in: A. A motivational interview to reinforce the patient's motivation and generate a commitment in relation to the objectives of the program. B. A physical activity promotion program to increase the number of daily steps of patients, measured by a wristband and a mobile App. C. A supervised high-intensity exercise training program. D. An individualized nutritional optimization plan with dietary advice and protein supplementation (if necessary). Educational material and motivational messages will be sent through a mobile App. F. Psychological support through weekly Mindfulness sessions (1.5 hours duration). Educational material and motivational messages will be sent through a mobile App. E. A smoking cessation program consisting psycho-cognitive therapy combined with pharmacological treatment. Educational material and motivational messages will be sent through a mobile App.
