  Signs that a stump has ruptured include dyspnea, change in mental status, and expectoration of serosanguineous fluid. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

If the patient meets the following criteria, no further workup is necessary: FEV1 > 2 liters FEV1/FVC > 50% MVV > 50% of predicted RV/TLC If these criteria were met and the patient were to have pneumonectomy, he would be left with at least 1 liter of [lumen.luc.edu]

• Mediastinal Shift

  CT The lung is absent at the side of surgery, with resultant mediastinal shift and compensatory hyperinflation of the contralateral lung. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]

  A fistula between the bronchus and pleura sometimes occurs, leading to subcutaneous emphysema and mediastinal shift caused by a massive air leak. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Second point, there may be no sign to suggest mediastinal shift in lobectomy ( central trachea) but in penumonectomy, you are expected to find signs suggesting mediastinal shift ( based on your tracheal position or apex beat). [passpaces.com]

  Post-pneumonectomy syndrome This syndrome results from the extrinsic compression of the distal trachea and main-stem bronchus due to mediastinal shifting and compensatory hyperinflation that occurs in the remaining lung. [quizlet.com]

  The right lung volume is more than the left one, so right pneumonectomy results in a greater mediastinal shift toward the right side with the heart being displaced into the right hemithorax with increased chances of compression between the mediastinal [cancerjournal.net]

The prognosis following a pneumonectomy depends on many factors. [verywell.com]

Step 3: If the patient has predicted post-operative FEV1 value is less than 800 ml, and if the surgeon still feels that he has a resectable lesion with a good prognosis, the next evaluation would be to occlude the pulmonary artery and measure the pulmonary [lumen.luc.edu]

Surgery has a greater roll in the management of 'NSCLC' rather than small-cell carcinoma' which has poorer prognosis and is almost always unsuitable for surgical intervention by the time of presentation. [quizlet.com]

Failing to achieve the latter is a predictor of poor long term prognosis. 153 154 158 In addition, lymph node metastasis, tumour stage and patient age all impact adversely on survival. [thorax.bmj.com]
