Brief summary

The main endpoint is physiological rehabilitation after VATS-L under early mobilization. The secondary endpoints are exploring the effect of early mobilization on postoperative physiology. Investigators hypothesis that early mobilization is clearly advantaged to advance the physiological recovery.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALEarly mobilization

Mobilization as soon as patients can, which is not limited on walking

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)Through study completion, an average of 3 daysFEV1 is the amount of air you can force from your lungs in one second. Participants will be examed via spirometer.
Postoperative arterial oxygen saturation.Through study completion, an average of 3 daysOxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. Participants will be tested via oximeter.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
length of stay in hospitalThrough study completion, an average of 3 days
The quantization of activity countsThrough study completion, an average of 3 days
Postoperative complicationsup to 30 daysPneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumonia, empyema, bleeding, pulmonary embolism, prolong air leakage, re-intervention, re-surgery and re-admission will be recording specifically.
Duration of chest tubeThrough study completion, an average of 2 days
The quantization of painThrough study completion, an average of 3 daysThe numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (excruciating pain) is used to score postoperative pain.
