Objectives: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of early mobilization along with conventional physiotherapy (CPT) on haemodynamic, ABG and PFT in the patient undergoing lobectomy.
Method: The present study is a pre-test post-test control group design. Inclusion criteria consisted of patient undergoing lobectomy. In experimental group15 patients completed 10 sessions of physiotherapy intervention programme (early mobilization at 4 hours combined with CPT). ABG, haemodynamics were taken at day 0 and after completion of 10 sessions PFT was taken preoperatively at 10th post operative day. In control group15 patients were mobilized with CPT at day 1 and variables were taken after intervention and after completion of 10 sessions.
Results: On completion of the physiotherapy intervention program there is no significant difference found between both groups in haemodynamics, ABG and PFT values.
Conclusions: Early mobilization combined with CPT does not improves haemodynamics, ABG and PFT values of patients undergone lobectomy but we can say that it is a safe approach to start early rehabilitation after 4 hours of surgery.
