[The effects of preoperative treatment and physical training to operability in patients with bronchial carcinomas (author's transl)].
Training effects of preoperative treatment, especially of breathing exercises in 52 patients with bronchial carcinoma were controlled by bodyplethysmography, measurements of the thoracic and abdominal circumferences in inspiration and expiration before and after the training program. In patients with obstructive ventilation disorders the expiratory resistance came to be reduced significantly. The mobility of the thoracic wall and of diaphragm increased in all patient-groups, but not in patients with restrictive ventilation disorders. After introducing the complex program the complication rate seems to drop to half of the previous rate.
