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:

Surgical management of colorectal lung metastases
TL;DR: The recent evidence published in the literature related to current practices for the surgical management of colorectal lung metastases is highlighted and a diagnostic algorithm for use in clinical practice is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of post-operative pulmonary function after lobectomy for primary lung cancer: A comparison among counting method, effective lobar volume, and lobar collapsibility using inspiratory/expiratory CT.
Hidetake Yabuuchi,Satoshi Kawanami,Takeshi Kamitani,Masato Yonezawa,Yuzo Yamasaki,Torahiko Yamanouchi,Michinobu Nagao,Tatsuro Okamoto,Hiroshi Honda +8 more
TL;DR: Volumetry from inspiratory/expiratory CT data could be useful to predict postoperative pulmonary function after lobectomy for primary lung cancer.

Preoperative paraspinous muscle sarcopenia and physical performance as prognostic indicators in non-small-cell lung cancer.
Shinya Tanaka,Naoki Ozeki,Yota Mizuno,Hiroki Nakajima,Keiko Hattori,Takayuki Inoue,Motoki Nagaya,Takayuki Fukui,Shota Nakamura,Masaki Goto,Tomoshi Sugiyama,Yoshihiro Nishida,Toyofumi F. Chen-Yoshikawa +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between preoperative sarcopenia and physical performance in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and found that sarcopenias and 6-min walking distance (6MWD) had an adverse effect on post-operative prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A risk-adjusted financial model to estimate the cost of a video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy programme.
Alessandro Brunelli,Vasileios Tentzeris,Alberto Sandri,Alexandra McKenna,Shan Liung Liew,Richard Milton,Nilanjan Chaudhuri,Emmanuel Kefaloyannis,Kostas Papagiannopoulos +8 more
TL;DR: Risk-adjusting financial data can help estimate the total cost associated with VATS lobectomy based on clinical factors and can be used to audit the internal financial performance of a VATs lobectomy programme for budgeting, planning and for appropriate bundled payment reimbursements.

Standardisation of spirometry
Martin R. Miller,John L. Hankinson,Vito Brusasco,Felip Burgos,Richard Casaburi,Allan L. Coates,Robert O. Crapo,Paul L. Enright,C.P.M. van der Grinten,P. Gustafsson,R. Jensen,D.C. Johnson,Neil R. MacIntyre,Roy T. McKay,Daniel Navajas,O. F. Pedersen,Riccardo Pellegrino,Giovanni Viegi,J. Wanger +18 more
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
Thomas H. Lee,Edward R. Marcantonio,Carol M. Mangione,Eric J. Thomas,Carisi Anne Polanczyk,E. F. Cook,D. J. Sugarbaker,M. C. Donaldson,Robert Poss,Kalon K.L. Ho,L. E. Ludwig,A. Pedan,Lee Goldman +12 more
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.
