Preoperative Assessment as a Predictor of Mortality and Morbidity after Lung Resection

TL;DR: To refine the functional guidelines for operability for lung resection, 55 consecutive patients with suspected lung malignancy thought to be surgically resectable were studied and the predictions of postoperative function correlated well with the measured values at 3 months.

Preoperative Assessment as a Predictor of Mortality and Morbidity After Lung Resection

TL;DR: Preoperative pulmonary scintigraphy was used to calculate the contribution to overall function by the affected lung or lobe and to predict postoperative lung function, and predicted postoperative FEV1 (FEV1-ppo), diffusing capacity (DLCO) and exercise-induced arterial O2 desaturation (delta SaO2) were predictive of postoperative complications including death and respiratory failure.
