Study Overview

Brief Summary

This pilot randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms  aims to assess the impact of preoperative yoga interventions as adjunctive therapies on perioperative pulmonary function, clinical outcomes, and psychological well-being in adult smokers undergoing TURBT surgery under general anaesthesia. Considering it a pilot study sample size was kept   60  and they   will be randomized into two groups: an intervention group receiving yoga/pranayama sessions twice daily for 7 days preoperatively (and continued postoperatively after 48 hours until discharge), and a control group receiving standard preoperative care without yoga . Primary outcome will be the change in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) from baseline to Day 3 postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include tidal volume, peak expiratory flow rate, breath-holding time,  incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, requirement of supplemental oxygen, ICU admission for any respiratory complications, patient reported psychological well being (SFQ, STAI scores), and inflammatory biomarker Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR).
