Key result
Holistic nursing care throughout the perioperative period is essential to prevent and manage respiratory and cardiovascular complications following thoracic surgery.
Why the study?
Thoracic surgery alters chest pathophysiology and causes respiratory and cardiac complications that increase morbidity and mortality, highlighting the importance of holistic nursing care.
Holistic nursing care and evidence-based practices are important to reduce and prevent respiratory and heart-related complications after thoracic surgery.

May support holistic nursing approaches to minimize post-thoracic surgery complications; hypothesis-generating pending prospective trials.
Changes in the pathophysiology of the chest after thoracic surgery cause respiratory and heart-related complications. These complications arise in connection with the patient’s physiological characteristics and with the type of surgical intervention. Complications which occur and which cannot be brought under control extend the length of hospital stay and cause an increase in the rates of morbidity and mortality. To reduce and prevent complications, holistic nursing care is important throughout the surgical process. In this way, the patient’s functional life can recover more quickly. Therefore, we will discuss the pathophysiological changes, complications and evidence-based practices for nursing care after thoracic surgery.
