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.

Lung cancer risks, beliefs and healthcare access among the underprivileged.

TL;DR: Investigation of the potential links between vulnerable social status, exposure to lung cancer risk factors and access to healthcare to highlight ways to improve lung cancer control in this population found them to have more risk factors for cancer.

Preoperative predictive factors for intensive care unit admission after pulmonary resection

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective observational cohort study of 120 patients undergoing elective pulmonary resection between July of 2009 and April of 2012 was conducted to determine whether the use of a set of preoperative variables can predict the need for postoperative ICU admission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for impaired lung function after pulmonary metastasectomy: a prospective observational study of 117 cases

TL;DR: A pulmonary metastasectomy leads to a significant loss of pulmonary function after 3 months in an average patient collective, and the most important factors for deteriorating lung function are a bilateral operation and postoperative chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lung cancer resection and postoperative outcomes in COPD: A single-center experience.

TL;DR: Patients with COPD undergoing lung cancer surgery were at higher risk of postoperative complications than patients with normal respiratory function but the procedure was considered safe and the presence of COPD itself did not influence long-term survival.

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.

Hospital Volume and Surgical Mortality in the United States

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.
