Postoperative Respiratory and Activity Monitoring
Primary Objective
This study plans to learn more about post-operative pulmonary complications, or PPCs. Some examples of PPCs include hypoxemia, or low blood oxygen, and atelectasis, which is a complete or partial collapse of a lung. This research study is to see how patient's movement after their surgery affects the outcomes of PPCs.
Description
The ExSpiron and ActivPal devices will be used post-operatively for 7 days, or until the patient meets the ambulatory requirements.
