...Donald Simon; Elvis M. Irusen; James M. Warwick; Alex Doruyter; Coenraad F.N. Koegelenberg The estimation of predicted postoperative (PPO) lung function is important in lung resection candidates. We utilized simple anatomical calculations and single-photon emission computed tomography combined...

Bolliger Background: Preoperative evaluation of lung resection candidates with impaired pulmonary reserves includes measurement of aerobic capacity. Stair...

.... Objective: To compare the levels of satisfaction of patients submitted to lung resection in two different thoracic surgical units. Methods: Prospective analysis of 280 consecutive patients submitted to pulmonary resection for neoplastic disease in two centers (center A: 139 patients; center B: 141 patients...

...Alessandro Brunelli; Francesco Xiumé; Majed Refai; Michele Salati; Luca Di Nunzio; Cecilia Pompili; Armando Sabbatini Background: The stair-climbing test is commonly used in the preoperative evaluation of lung resection candidates, but it is difficult to standardize and provides little physiologic...

...L.R. Bagg; S.J.W. Evans; D.W. Empey; D.T.D. Hughes Simple pulmonary function screening tests were performed prospectively in a group of patients with carcinoma of the bronchus being evaluated for lung resection. Of the 22 who subsequently had a resection performed, 7 suffered post-operative...

...J. Mlczoch; W. Zutter; R. Keller; H. Herzog Since June 1972, preoperative evaluation of the pulmonary hemodynamics and lung function tests at rest and on exercise were done in patients undergoing thoracotomy with lung resection. 49 patients have been investigated postoperatively, 28 patients had...

...E. Kammler; A.-W. Gude; S. Engineer; W.T. Ulmer; W. Weller Reduction of lung capacity up to 91 % was carried out on 14 dogs. While thoracotomy caused a decrease in the arterial PO 2 , lung resection had no further significant effect on gas exchange. The increase of tension in the pulmonary artery...
