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.

Role of a digital tool in preoperative lung resection surgery assessment.

TL;DR: It was found that after the introduction of PreParAPP MSD, the percentage of clinicians involved in postoperative lung function calculation rose from 18% to 70% and the implementation of a digital tool may help to improve guideline adherence.

CT-defined visual emphysema in smokers with normal spirometry: association with prolonged air leak and other respiratory complications after lobectomy for lung cancer

TL;DR: Visual assessment of PSE in smokers with normal spirometry may help identify those who develop PAL after lobectomy, and increasing tendency of postoperative complications was observed as the grade of visual emphysema increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative evaluation of the patient with cardiorespiratory diseases

TL;DR: Preoperative evaluation, risk assessment and stratification allows for clear identification of higher risk patients who would benefit from preoperative medical optimization, appropriate planning of perioperative care including anaesthetic management, modification of surgical procedure and the level of postoperative care required as a part of risk reduction strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of postoperative dyspnea and chronic respiratory failure.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that postoperative dyspnea is associated with the collapse of the remaining lung, and thus, prediction of the postoperative lung volume may contribute to risk assessment for postoperative Dyspnea.

Anesthesia for Lung Cancers

TL;DR: An expanding body of literature supports a multi-faceted anesthetic approach to mitigate the risk of postoperative acute lung injury (ALI), the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in lung cancer resection patients.

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.

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.
