Finley, MD, MPH, will be presenting the results of this research at the 95th AATS Annual Meeting in Seattle, WA on April 28, 2015. For patients in the early stages of NSCLC, lung surgery is associated with the best long-term survival.[sciencedaily.com]

Incidence 2% o Mortality 30-70% o Causes: § Necrosis of bronchial stump § Dehiscence of suture line o More common on the right o Increased risk in association with § Residual carcinoma § Preoperative radiation § Diabetes o Clinical § Sudden onset of dyspnea[learningradiology.com]
BronCHopleural fisTula • It implies breakdown of the bronchial stump and it occcurs around the 10 th postoperative day ,if small it may not be noticed untill much later • It is recognised by dyspnea ,an irritating cough and possible expectoration of dark[slideshare.net]
Patients with evidence of interstitial lung disease on radiological tests or dyspnea on exertion should also have DLCO measured even with adequate FEV 1.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]

Endocrine: Poorly controlled diabetes is associated with increased incidence of surgical site infections and delayedwoundhealing. Adequate blood glucose control may provide benefit.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]
Certain paraneoplastic syndromes of lung malignancies have neurologicmanifestations. The most common are central and peripheral neuropathies caused by autoantibodies and manifested by weakness and neurological disability.[cancertherapyadvisor.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 FEV1 in[lumen.luc.edu]
CT The lung is absent at the side of surgery, with resultant mediastinalshift 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 mediastinalshift caused by a massive air leak.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Second point, there may be no sign to suggest mediastinalshift in lobectomy ( central trachea) but in penumonectomy, you are expected to find signs suggesting mediastinalshift ( 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 mediastinalshifting and compensatory hyperinflation that occurs in the remaining lung.[quizlet.com]
Because of constant volume in the PPS and exhalation in the contralateral lung on expiration, a contralateral mediastinalshift of up to 3.5 cm on expiration is considered normal.[cancerjournal.net]
It is useful to rule out metabolic derangements such as hyponatremia, and to determine the presence of antibodies. Carotid ultrasound is the screening test of choice for carotid artery disease.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]
If the specimen is a pneumonectomy, determine which lobes are involved by tumor and whether the tumor causes pleuraladhesion between lobes.[essentialpathology.info]
RESULTS: Stay in the intensive treatment unit was 2.9 days (range 1-17 days) and hospital stay, 8.6 days (range 5-45 days).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Sepsis /septic shock from any cause until treatment has started and there has been adequate resuscitation. Untreated DVT and/or hemodynamically significant PE until extension assessed and treatment started. It may require IVC filter placement. 3.[cancertherapyadvisor.com]
This successful case led to the modern treatment of lung cancer. In fact, pneumonectomy was the treatment of choice until 1962, when results show that pneumonectomy increased complications but did not improve survival compared to a lobectomy.[coursera.org]
Early age of onset (before 16) and intermittent asthma were associated and had a more favourable prognosis, while the childhood bronchitic had a better outlook than the adult bronchitic. Intermittent and continuous asthma have been compared.[books.google.ro]
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]

To help prevent this, we usually interpose a muscle flap in between the airway and the pulmonary artery to prevent this.[coursera.org]
It is recommended that patients undergoing a pneumonectomy be monitored for symptoms of pneumonia and also take steps to prevent the illness.[news.cancerconnect.com]
Postoperative chest physiotherapy • Clear the lung field • Reexpansion of the lung • Prevent circulatory complication • Prevent wound complication • Regain the arm and trunk movement • Maintain the good posture • Conditioning exercise Dr.Tarpan Shah 23[slideshare.net]
Even if you have to stay in bed, it’s important to keep up regular leg movements to help your circulation and prevent blood clots.[macmillan.org.uk]
