It has been observed that there are negative effects on respiratory muscle strength following lobectomy. This has led to the necessity of respiratory muscle training to mitigate these adverse effects. Most studies conducted so far focus on the late postoperative period, and there are only a few studies evaluating the effectiveness of early postoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT). It is believed that this method could be useful for facilitating patient follow-up and increasing patient motivation through visual feedback.
