Improved cardiopulmonary exercise function after modified Nuss operation for pectus excavatum.
OBJECTIVES Patients with pectus excavatum have compromised cardiac function during exercise. We hypothesized that the Nuss technique would improve cardiopulmonary function during exercise. METHODS We investigated 75 teenagers (49 patients and 26 controls) at rest and during bicycle exercise prior to surgery and 1 year postoperative. RESULTS Prior to surgery, patients had a lower cardiac ind...

متن کاملStrategies for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing of Pectus Excavatum Patients
The purpose of this paper is to provide strategies for cardiopulmonary exercise testing of pectus excavatum patients. Currently, there are no standardized methods for assessing cardiovascular and pulmonary responses in this population; therefore, making comparisons across studies is difficult if not impossible. These strategies are intended for physicians, pulmonary technicians, exercise physio...
