Fissios© and Postoperative Complications (FPoC Trial)

The FPoC Trial is designed as a multicentre, prospective, randomised, prospective, parallel, two-group, controlled, open-label, superiority study of only face-to-face respiratory physiotherapy or the use of Fissios App© as an adjunct to respiratory physiotherapy in patients scheduled for lung resection surgery. The participants who take part in the study will be randomly assigned to the study or control group before the surgical procedure. All of them will follow an in-person respiratory physiotherapy programme, and the study group will complement this programme with the use of the Fissios App tool. Perioperative care will be carried out in accordance with national and international guidelines. Postoperative complications will be recorded following the established definitions of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) database and in the study protocol. Finally, all the participants will be followed up for 90 days after the date of surgery to finalise the present study. The participants will continue the revisions following the protocols of each centre. An estimated total of 560 particpants (280 per group) will be recruited for this study.
