Preoperative evaluation of lung resection candidate

Abstract

Introduction: Patients who undergo evaluation for lung resection have increased risk for the development of postoperative complications. Therefore, preoperative cardiopulmonary and functional evaluation are very important in the evaluation of lung resection candidates. We evaluated preoperative cardiopulmonary function and functional capacity of these patients and correlate them with postoperative complications. Material and Methods: 21 resectable lung cancer patients were included into the study. Patients were evaluated for cardiopulmonary functions (spirometry, blood gases, oxygen saturation, lung radiology, electrokardiography, echocardiogarphy) and functional capacity (maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test, siz minute walk test, quality of life questionnaire (SF 36). Postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay and duration of ICU (intensive care unit stay) were recorded. Results: % 85.7 patients had lung cancer. %31.8 (n:8) patients show complications after lung resection. There was no correlation between complications and cardiopulmonary functions, functional capacity (p>0.05). Duration of hospital stay found only significant who had complications (p= 0.008). Conclusion: Postoperative complications show no correlation with cardiopulmonary functions and functional capacity. Studies with more patients are needed to evaluate the relationship among complications and cardiopulmonary functions and functional capacity.
