Abstract

Background

We aimed to analyze the feasibility and risk factors associated with early mobilization (EM) within 4 h after thoracoscopic lobectomy and segmentectomy.

Methods

This study retrospectively evaluated 214 consecutive patients who underwent thoracoscopic anatomical pulmonary resection using our EM protocol between October 2017 and February 2019. We compared the correlations of the patients’ characteristics including the total number of drugs and perioperative parameters such as air leak, and orthostatic hypotension (OH) between the EM (E group) and failed EM (F group) groups. Second, we evaluated risk factors for OH, which often causes critical complications.

Results

A total of 198 patients (92.5%: E group) completed the EM protocol, whereas 16 patients did not (7.5%: F group). The primary causes of failure were severe pain, air leak, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and OH (n = 1, 3, 8, and 4). Upon univariate analysis, air leakage, OH, and non-hypertension were identified as risk factors for failed EM (all p <0.05). EM was associated with a shortened chest tube drainage period (p <0.01). Thirty patients (14%) experienced OH, and 20% of them failed EM. A total number of drugs ≥5 (p = 0.015) was an independent risk factor for OH. Operative and anesthetic variables were not associated with EM or OH.

Conclusions

The EM protocol was safe and useful for tubeless management. Surgeons should be advised to actively prevent air leak. Our EM protocol achieved a low frequency of OH in mobilization. Due to its versatility, our mobilization protocol may be promising, especially in patients without severe comorbidities.

Clinical registration number: The study protocol was approved by the Review Board of Aichi Cancer Center (approval number: 2020-1-067).
