Official Title: Preoperative Inspiratory Muscle Training for Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy - a Feasibility Study
Brief Summary:
The goal of this randomized controlled feasibility study was to evaluate the feasibility of preoperative inspiratory muscle training in patients undergoing surgery because of peritoneal metastases.The main questions it aimed to answer was how feasible the intervention is regarding process and scientific feasibility as defined by Thabane et al 2010.Participants in the intervention group were using a handheld device to increase their inspiratory muscle strength prior to surgery and researchers compared this group to…
