Stair climbing test in lung resection candidates with low predicted postoperative FEV1.
38% as shown in Table 1 in my article.2 I apologize for this error. Their findings,1 coupled with the other reports of the mortality of untreated PE,3–6 would indicate that the mortality of untreated PE is approximately 30%. Given the fact that the mortality of PE in patients treated with heparin and warfarin is 5%,7,8 it is unlikely that there will be additional randomized clinical trials comp...
متن کاملSpeed of ascent during stair climbing identifies operable lung resection candidates.
BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of lung resection candidates with impaired pulmonary reserves includes measurement of aerobic capacity. Stair climbing is an attractive low-cost alternative to treadmill exercise testing but it lacks standardisation. OBJECTIVES To directly compare stair climbing and treadmill exercise testing with respect to an established cut-off value for lung resection. ...
متن کاملComparison between stair-climbing test and six-minute walk test after lung resection using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy
[Purpose] Currently, the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) is used to evaluate exercise capacity in people following lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer. However, it is unclear whether the 6MWD can detect changes in cardiorespiratory fitness induced by exercise training or lung resection. Conversely, the stair-climbing test is used frequently for the preoperative evaluation of lung rese...
متن کاملInability to perform maximal stair climbing test before lung resection: a propensity score analysis on early outcome.
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to assess whether patients unable to perform a preoperative maximal stair climbing test had an increased incidence of morbidity and mortality after major lung resection compared to patients who were able to exercise. METHODS Three hundred and ninety one patients submitted to pulmonary lobectomy or pneumonectomy for lung cancer were analyzed. Fo...
متن کاملThe Stair-climbing Test. The Quest for Much-needed Simplicity.
For several decades, exercise capacity has been an essential part of the evaluation of functionality in patients with lung cancer. Exercise tests are used in patients referred for lung resection surgery to more accurately select those capable of supplying tissues with enough oxygen to meet increased demand if a postoperative complication should occur. According, an exercise test is recommended ...
