Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 393 patients showed that those using the app experienced a significantly lower incidence of PPCs (12.2% compared to 24% in the control group) and had a shorter hospital stay (median of 3 days vs. 4 days).
- * The app demonstrated a 63.5% reduction in the risk of developing PPCs, suggesting it effectively improves clinical outcomes after surgery.
Introduction: The design and implementation inconsistency of perioperative care programs limits their universalization, and it is where e-Health can standardize these processes. The objective of the study is to create a Smartphone App with a perioperative care program, implement it in a group of patients scheduled for a thoracic surgical procedure, and evaluates its use.
Methods: A prospective and descriptive study.
