Abstract :
Objective: Thoracotomy surgery is a complex surgery that is usually performed to treat lung diseases. This type of surgery may lead to impairments in pulmonary function and changes in hematological indices, such as decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell count. On the other hand, aerobic exercise can have a positive effect on improving pulmonary function and hematological indices. This study attempts to provide new scientific evidence for the use of aerobic exercise in rehabilitation programs after pulmonary surgeries by evaluating the changes in these indices.
Methodology: This semi-experimental study used a pre-test-post-test design with 24 patients who were randomly assigned to either the exercise or control group. The exercise group underwent an 8-week aerobic exercise program, while the control group received no intervention. Hematological and respiratory markers were measured at the beginning and end of the intervention period.
Findings: The results of the analysis of covariance for the blood variables of the two groups are presented in Table 3. Regarding the intergroup changes for the variables, RBC (P = 0.001), HB (P = 0.004), HCT (P = 0.005), and O2 (P = 0.002), the results showed that there were significant differences between the two groups. Specifically, in the post-test, the exercise group showed greater increases in RBC, HB, HCT, and O2 compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Aerobic exercise has a positive and significant effect on improving hematological markers and respiratory function in children after thoracotomy. These findings suggest that aerobic exercise can
