Not Applicable

• Conditions: Inhalation
• Interventions: Behavioral: Traditional Aerosol Inhalation Nursing Method; Behavioral: Precise Aerosol Inhalation Nursing Program

• Registration Number: NCT05025215
• Lead Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University

Brief Summary

Comparing the effects of different kinds of aerosol inhalation nursing programs on effective sputum excretion in elderly patients with lung surgery.

Detailed Description

Based on the traditional oxygen aerosol inhalation treatment, this study will improve it. In the process, precise body position care, time control, observation and treatment, evaluation, etc. will be used to form a precise aerosol inhalation care plan. To explore the effect of this program on effective sputum excretion in elderly patients undergoing lung surgery.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Group B：Traditional	Traditional Aerosol Inhalation Nursing Method	The control group accepts traditional aerosol inhalation nursing method. This group is planned to enroll 100 patients.
Group A： Precise	Precise Aerosol Inhalation Nursing Program	The experimental group accepts improved precise aerosol inhalation nursing program，which was based on the traditional oxygen aerosol inhalation treatment, including precise body position care, time control, observation and treatment, evaluation, etc. This group is planned to enroll 100 patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Standardization of aerosol inhalation	From the first to the third day after surgery.	The investigators use a self-made inhalation implementation standard evaluation form to evaluate whether inhalation was standard in postoperative patients.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Viscosity of sputum	From the first to the third day after surgery.	According to the viscosity, the sputum was divided into three types: ⅰ degree (thin phlegm), ⅱ degree (moderate phlegm), ⅲ degree (severe phlegm).
Adverse events	From the first to the third day after surgery.	Discomfort during inhalation: chest tightness, dyspnea, palpitations, elevated blood pressure, etc.
Phlegm retention	From the first to the third day after surgery.	Sputum sounds can be heard or ausculted at the bedside.
Patient satisfaction	The third day after surgery.	Likert 5-level scoring method was adopted to allow patients to evaluate the nursing plan. The higher the score, the more satisfied the patients were.
