New models for prediction of postoperative pulmonary complications in lung resection candidates.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In recent years, ventilatory efficiency (minute ventilation (V'_E)/carbon dioxide production (V'_CO2 ) slope) and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (P _ETCO2 ) have emerged as independent predictors of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC). Single parameters may give only partial information regarding periprocedural hazards. Accordingly, our aim was to create prediction models with improved ability to stratify PPC risk in patients scheduled for elective lung resection surgery.

Methods

This post hoc analysis was comprised of consecutive lung resection candidates from two prior prospective trials. All individuals completed pulmonary function tests and cardiopulmonary e
