Physiologic evaluation of the patient with lung cancer being considered for resectional surgery: Diagnosis and management of lung cancer, 3rd ed: American College of Chest Physicians evidence-based clinical practice guidelines.

TLDR
A careful preoperative physiologic assessment is useful for identifying those patients at increased risk with standard lung cancer resection and for enabling an informed decision by the patient about the appropriate therapeutic approach to treating his or her lung cancer.

Functional and postoperative outcomes after high-intensity interval training in lung cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article , the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on postoperative complications and lung function in patients with lung cancer compared to usual care were evaluated in 12 randomized controlled trials and two authors independently applied the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool to assess the quality of RCTs.

Preoperative Evaluation: Frailty Parameters, Preoperative Neoadjuvant Therapy—Indications for Postoperative Care Unit

TL;DR: Assessment for thoracic surgery in frail elderly patients requires careful evaluation to individualize the morbidity and mortality risk for each patient, and it is essential a meticulous approach that identifies modifiable conditions that can be optimized to improve the outcomes of high-risk patients.

Standardisation of spirometry

TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Standardation of LUNG FUNCTION TESTing” that combines “situational awareness” and “machine learning” to solve the challenge of integrating nanofiltration into the energy system.

Derivation and Prospective Validation of a Simple Index for Prediction of Cardiac Risk of Major Noncardiac Surgery

TL;DR: In stable patients undergoing nonurgent major noncardiac surgery, this index can identify patients at higher risk for complications and may be useful for identification of candidates for further risk stratification with noninvasive technologies or other management strategies.

Effects of extended-release metoprolol succinate in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (POISE trial): a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: The results highlight the risk in assuming a perioperative beta-blocker regimen has benefit without substantial harm, and the importance and need for large randomised trials in theperioperative setting.
