Perioperative Lung Function Monitoring After Anatomic Lung Resections (PLF)

Detailed Description
All patients undergoing an anatomical lung resection at the investigators' institution were evaluated for this study. Underage patients and those undergoing extended resections (including resection of the chest wall and/or diaphragm) and/or bronchoplastic procedures were excluded.
In every eligible patient undergoing an anatomic lung resection, preoperative spirometry was performed using a handheld spirometer on the day before surgery and on every second day after surgery was performed until patient discharge. The absolute values of FEV1 were recorded by an independent study nurse and noted on a separate sheet not available to the treating doctors.
At the end of the study period FEV1 values were evaluated especially with focus on their correlation with postoperative pulmonary complications (i.e. pneumonia, acute exacerbation of COPD, air leak and atelectasis). Furthermore lung function values of patients undergoing 'open' resections were compared with patients undergoing minimally invasive resections.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Pneumonia
Patients suffering from postoperative pneumonia including all three of the following:
|
Absolute FEV1 is measured in every patient using a handheld spirometer
|
No Pneumonia
Patients without pneumonia undergo spirometry before and on every second day after lung surgery
|
Absolute FEV1 is measured in every patient using a handheld spirometer
|
Open (no pneumonia)
Patients undergoing open anatomical lung resection who did not show postoperative pneumonia. All patients undergo spirometry before and on every second day after lung surgery. |
Absolute FEV1 is measured in every patient using a handheld spirometer
|
Minimally invasive (no pneumonia)
Patients undergoing minimally invasive anatomical lung resection who did not show postoperative pneumonia. All patients undergo spirometry before and on every second day after lung surgery. |
Absolute FEV1 is measured in every patient using a handheld spirometer
