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.About:

Automated Pulmonary Function Measurements from Preoperative CT Scans with Deep Learning
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate the feasibility of generating forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) values from preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scans.

“Surviving Pneumonectomy: Identifying key determinants and outcomes.”
TL;DR: In this article , the authors identified several determinants of pneumonectomy, including emergency admission, TB treatment history, blood loss, ICU stay, and post-operative complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low diffusion capacity predicts poor prognosis in extensive stage small cell lung cancer: a single-center analysis of 10 years.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared the clinical characteristics of extensive disease SCLC (ED-SCLC) with or without moderately impaired diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) and investigated the factors associated with survival.

Preoperative Spirometry in Patients With Known or Suspected Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Undergoing Major Surgery: The Prospective Observational PREDICT Study.
Andreas Dankert,Benedikt Neumann-Schirmbeck,Thorsten Dohrmann,Gillis Greiwe,Lili Plümer,Benjamin Löser,Susanne Lehner,Christian Zöllner,Martin Petzoldt +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors developed three multivariable risk prediction models and compared their ability to predict postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) in patients with known or suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) undergoing major surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carinal pneumonectomy: a 36-year experience
TL;DR: Morbidity and mortality rates following TSP remain elevated, and long-term follow-up is determined primarily by N status, and, therefore, accurate preoperative mediastinal staging is fundamental.

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.

Hospital Volume and Surgical Mortality in the United States
John D. Birkmeyer,Andrea E. Siewers,Emily Finlayson,Therese A. Stukel,F. Lee Lucas,Ida Batista,H. Gilbert Welch,David E. Wennberg +7 more
TL;DR: Mortality decreased as volume increased for all 14 types of procedures, but the relative importance of volume varied markedly according to the type of procedure.

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.
