مستخلص: Introduction Fan therapy has gained attention as a non-pharmacological treatment for alleviating dyspnea in patients receiving palliative care and in those with chronic progressive diseases. However, the effectiveness of fan therapy for dyspnea in critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of fan therapy for lung transplant patients in the ICU. Methods Fan therapy was performed on lung transplant recipients (age >18 years) who experienced dyspnea during their ICU stay. A tabletop portable fan was used to blow air on the patient's face for five minutes providing fan therapy. The intensity of dyspnea before and after the fan therapy was determined, and a statistical analysis was conducted using a paired t-test to evaluate the changes. Results Between May 2023 and February 2024, 16 patients who were admitted to the ICU following lung transplantation were screened, and eight patients received fan therapy. Fan therapy was performed at a median of postoperative day 12. Seven patients (87.5%) received mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy. The mean (±standard deviation) numerical rating scale (NRS) for dyspnea before and after fan therapy was 5.6±2.3 and 4.4±1.5, respectively ( p  = 0.08). The mean (±standard deviation) respiratory distress observation scale (RDOS) before and after fan therapy was 4.8 ± 2.0 and 3.8 ± 1.7, respectively ( p  = 0.03). No serious adverse events were observed, and no significant alterations were observed in the respiratory rate, oxygen saturation levels, pulse rate, or blood pressure. Conclusion The findings suggest that fan therapy can be safely used to relieve dyspnea in lung transplant recipients during their ICU stay. Further evaluations in larger trials are required to confirm the results of this study.
