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.

Oxygen Use After Lung Cancer Surgery.

TL;DR: Home O2 use after lung cancer surgery comprises a sizable portion of this population and is correlated with death in the first 6 months and is associated with higher odds of death within 6 months.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative Evaluation for Thoracic Surgery.

TL;DR: The preoperative period represents a time for patient engagement and physical optimization to improve postoperative outcomes and predicts postoperative pulmonary function testing helps make this distinction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recommendations for perioperative management of lung cancer patients with comorbidities

TL;DR: Trends in perioperative care for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and end-stage renal diseases in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery are reviewed, as large clinical databases indicate that these comorbidities are significant risk factors for lung cancer Surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

OUP accepted manuscript

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify whether steeper V.E/V.CO2 slope was associated with cardiopulmonary complications (CPC) after anatomical resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early postoperative inflammatory response by procedure types: stapler-based segmentectomy versus lobectomy.

TL;DR: Stapler-based thoracoscopic segmentectomy was associated with an increase in acute inflammatory response despite favorable perioperative outcome compared to lobectomy, and local surgical stress and damage in the remaining segments might play a key role and warrants further investigation.

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.
