Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We expect that group 2 (intervention), due to the effective preoperative respiratory muscle training, evolve with lower incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications after esophageal surgery, characterized by: better pulmonary function evaluated by spirometry (higher forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1], forced vital capacity [FVC] and FEV1/FVC ratio, higher maximal respiratory pressures and higher maximal voluntary ventilation evaluated with manovacuometry. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is possible that a better pulmonary function in the postoperative in group 2 will lead to a better functional capacity, which will be evaluated by the distance walked in the 6-min walk test.;If group 2 present a better pulmonary function in the postoperative, it is possible that these patients have a shorter hospital length of stay (in days). | — |
