Preoperative Evaluation of Patients Undergoing Lung Resection Surgery
Debapriya Datta,Bimalin Lahiri +1 more
TL;DR: The existing modalities for preoperative evaluation prior to lung resection surgery are discussed and patients' ability to withstand the surgery and the loss of the resected lung are determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of obesity on pulmonary rehabilitation outcomes in patients with COPD.
TL;DR: This study suggests that obese COPD patients are referred to pulmonary rehabilitation at an earlier spirometric stage of their disease, but have a poorer exercise performance, a greater degree of functional impairment and greater fatigue levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreasing the local anesthetic volume from 20 to 10 mL for ultrasound-guided interscalene block at the cricoid level does not reduce the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paresis.
Sanjay K. Sinha,Jonathan H. Abrams,John T. Barnett,John G. Muller,Bimalin Lahiri,Bruce Bernstein,Robert S. Weller +6 more
TL;DR: Reducing the volume for interscalene block from 20 to 10 mL did not reduce the incidence of hemidiaphragmatic paresis or impairment in pulmonary function, which persisted at discharge from recovery room and no significant differences in quality or duration of analgesia were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologic responses during the six minute walk test in obese and non-obese COPD patients.
Jennifer Bautista,Mohsin Ehsan,Mohsin Ehsan,Edgar Normandin,Edgar Normandin,Richard ZuWallack,Richard ZuWallack,Bimalin Lahiri,Bimalin Lahiri +8 more
TL;DR: Although 6 min walk distance is shorter in obese COPD patients, their physiologic responses are similar to those of non-obese patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of nebulized levalbuterol in stable COPD.
TL;DR: For single-dose, as-needed use in COPD, there appears to be no advantage in using levalbuterol over conventional nebulized bronchodilators.
