简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial was to access the benefits of a 12-week home-based pulmonary rehabilitation regimen on pulmonary function recovery in post-liver transplant patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does pulmonary rehabilitation facilitate pulmonary muscle strength recovery? Does the intervention improve pulmonary function and reduce dyspnea sensation?
Participants performed:
Inspiratory muscle training twice a day for 12 weeks after discharged from the hospital Upper limb resistive training Lower limb exercise
详细描述
Patients undergoing liver transplantation often face significant challenges related to pulmonary rehabilitation. Although postoperative rehabilitation has been extensively studied, the specific role of pulmonary rehabilitation programs has received limited attention. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program in improving respiratory function recovery among post-liver transplant patients. The training group participated in a 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program post-discharge, emphasizing respiratory muscle and exercise training, while the control group received standard care, which included traditional rehabilitation.

结局指标
主要结局
Respiratory Muscle Stregnth Test
时间窗: Throughout the study completion, approximately 3 month
Respiratory muscle strength was determined by Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) using a pressure monometer.
次要结局
- Oxygenation status(Participants underwent maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure measurements at four time points: upon admission, before discharge from the intensive care unit, before discharge from the hospital, and at the end of the 12-week enrollment period.)
- Dyspnea Severity Assessment(Throughout the study completion, approximately 3 month)
- Forced Vital Capacity(Throughout the study completion, approximately 3 month)
