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 Resection in the Postpneumonectomy Patient.

TL;DR: Pulmonary resection after pneumonectomy is a reasonable option in selected patients and stereotactic body radiotherapy is a promising alternative for inoperable patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors associated with postoperative costs following anatomic lung resections without major complications

TL;DR: The authors were able to identify clinical factors associated with postoperative costs in patients without major complications and these findings may help administrators to tailor future individualized lung resection reimbursement tariffs based on patient characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Size-capacity mismatch in the lung: a novel predictor for complications after lung cancer surgery.

TL;DR: Lung size-function mismatch was identified as the best predictor for cardiopulmonary complications after major lung resection for cancer among various spirometry- and CT-derived parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing spatial differences between SPECT-ventilation and SPECT-perfusion in patients with lung cancer undergoing radiotherapy.

TL;DR: This study investigates agreement between ventilation and perfusion for lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy by comparing voxel-wise Spearman correlation- coefficients of patients with stage III lung cancer from a prospective protocol.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Standardisation of the single-breath determination of carbon monoxide uptake in the lung

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.

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.
