چکیده
OBJECTIVE To predict accurate morbidity after lung resection using treadmill exercise test. METHODS A total of 130 patients (108 men and 22 women, with mean age 67.1+/-11.4 years (range, 34-78 years)) of 1129 patients underwent standard lobectomy were performed both treadmill exercise test and spirometry preoperatively. We measured maximum oxygen uptake/body weight (VO2max/BW) and change in arterial blood oxygen pressure from rest to symptom-limited maximum loading (delta aPaO2) and calculated exercise-induced hypoxemia (delta PaO2/delta VO2/BW), and retrospectively compared these parameters for patients with and without complications. RESULTS There were five patients with severe postoperative complications, including three requiring use of a respirator, two with home oxygen therapy. %Vital capacity, VC (%, 80.2+/-13.2 vs. 92.5+/-20.9, P=0.026), delta PaO2 (Torr, -29.3+/-4.3 vs. -13.2+/-10.8, P=0.0004), VO2max/BW (ml/min/kg, 16.5+/-2.9 vs. 20.6+/-5.1, P=0.018) and delta PaO2/delta VO2/BW (Torr/ml/min/kg, -1.98+/-0.26 vs. -0.57+/-0.47) were significantly associated with worse outcome. All the five patients with complications had delta PaO2/delta VO2/BW<-1.7. CONCLUSIONS Treadmill exercise testing is a good method for assessment of cardiopulmonary reserve. Limited resection must be performed if delta PaO2/delta VO2/BW is under -1.7.

Inability to perform bicycle ergometry predicts increased morbidity and mortality after lung resection.
The ability to successfully exercise has been used to assess the cardiopulmonary risk of thoracotomy for lung cancer. Because of musculoskeletal, neurologic, peripheral vascular, or behavioral problems, not all patients presenting for pulmonary resection are capable of exercising. Using a multifactorial cardiopulmonary risk index (CPRI) consisting of a cardiac risk index (CRI) and a pulmonary r...

Lung resection is still the only potentially curative therapy for patients with localized non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the presence of cardiovascular comorbidities and underlying lung disease increases the risk of postoperative complications.
