Relationship of predicted postoperative product to postpneumonectomy cardiopulmonary complications.
BACKGROUND This retrospective analytic study was to evaluate diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and predicted postoperative product (PPP) as predictors of postpneumonectomy cardiopulmonary complications. METHODS One-hundred fifty-one patients underwent pneumonectomy at Vancouver General Hospital from January 1992 to December 1997. The PPP was obtained by multiplying the...
متن کاملPostpneumonectomy pulmonary oedema.
The occurrence of pulmonary oedema was studied retrospectively in 243 patients who underwent pneumonectomy in one hospital from 1975 to 1984. Pulmonary oedema developed in eight of 113 patients who had a right sided pneumonectomy and in three of 130 patients undergoing a left sided procedure. It occurred more commonly in patients requiring a second thoracotomy because of blood loss (in three ou...
متن کاملPrevention of late postpneumonectomy complications using a 3D printed lung in dog models.
OBJECTIVES Repositioning of the mediastinum with implantation of a prosthesis seems the favoured approach to treat late complications of pneumonectomy caused by mediastinal shift. However, the traditional prostheses are not designed specifically for use in the thoracic cavity, sometimes resulting in failure of treatment for many reasons. The aim of our study was to develop a novel prosthesis to ...
متن کاملPostpneumonectomy oesophagopleural fistula.
Patients with oesophagopleural fistula after a pneumonectomy present a difficult therapeutic problem. There are two types of presentation, early and late. We report three cases in addition to the 49 previously published. All three patients developed their fistulae after right-sided pneumonectomy (one month, four years, and 21 years respectively) and presented with the features of an empyema. Th...
متن کاملPostpneumonectomy pulmonary oedema revisited.
Postoperative pulmonary oedema occurs early post-operatively (>6 h) and is associated with a net fluid overload. A recent survey of 8,195 major operations showed an incidence of 7.6%, with a mortality of 11.9% [1]. Post-pneumonectomy pulmonary oedema (PPO) occurs after pneumonectomy [2] or lung resection [3], in the absence of left ventricular dysfunction or infection. The overall incidence is ...
