Objective To explore the effect of perioperative respiratory training device and vibratory sputum discharge vest in the perioperative period of thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery. Methods: A total of 60 patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic surgery in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The corresponding data of sputum discharge received by perioperative breathing trainer and vibrating sputum discharge vest between May 2021 and May 2022 were pulled out. The control group received perioperative deep breathing training + cough sputum discharge training and nursing, while the observation group received perioperative breathing trainer and vibrating sputum discharge vest. The sputum discharge index of the two groups was compared 1 /3 /7 days after operation. The proportion of postoperative adverse problems of atelectasis, pulmonary infection and pleural effusion in the two groups was analyzed. The pulmonary function indexes of VC(L), FEV1(L), FVC(L) and MVV(L/min) at 1 day /3 days /7 days after operation were analyzed. Results: The sputum output of the observation group was always more than that of the control group, the proportion of adverse postoperative complications in the observation group was 10% higher than that of the control group, and the pulmonary function index of the observation group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: In the perioperative period of thoracoscopic lung cancer, combined with modern technology, the use of breathing trainer and vibrating sputum discharge vest can reduce pulmonary complications, improve lung function and improve sputum discharge efficiency.
