Oxygen delivery through high-flow nasal cannulae increase end-expiratory lung volume and reduce respiratory rate in post-cardiac surgical patients.

TL;DR: This study suggests that HFNCs reduce respiratory rate and improve oxygenation by increasing both EELV and tidal volume and are most beneficial in patients with higher BMIs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of functional capacity before major non-cardiac surgery: an international, prospective cohort study

Duminda N. Wijeysundera, +180 more
- 30 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: Subjective assessment of functional capacity should not be used for preoperative risk evaluation, and Clinicians should instead consider a measure such as DASI for cardiac risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integration of the Duke Activity Status Index into preoperative risk evaluation: a multicentre prospective cohort study

Duminda N. Wijeysundera, +187 more
TL;DR: A DASI score of 34 represents a threshold for identifying patients at risk for myocardial injury, myocardia infarction, moderate-to-severe complications, and new disability, and a nested cohort analysis of the Measurement of Exercise Tolerance before Surgery study characterised the association of preoperative DASi scores with postoperative death or complications.

Oxygen delivery through high-flow nasal cannulae increase end-expiratory lung volume and reduce respiratory rate in post-cardiac surgical patients

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of high-flow nasal cannulae (HFNC) on airway pressure (Paw) and end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) were investigated.
