Recommendations for perioperative management of lung cancer patients with comorbidities

Hiroyoshi Tsubochi et al. Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

Objectives: To improve surgical outcomes, clinicians must provide optimal perioperative care for comorbidities identified as significant factors in risk models for patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Methods: We reviewed trends in perioperative care for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and end-stage renal diseases in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery, as large clinical databases indicate that these comorbidities are significant risk factors for lung cancer surgery. Articles identified by keyword searches were included in the analysis.

Results: Significant predictive factors for acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis were identified. However, no effective perioperative care was identified for prevention of acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia. The timing of coronary revascularization and antithrombotic management for cardiovascular diseases are subjects of ongoing research, and acid-base balance is essential in the management of hemodialysis patients with end-stage renal diseases.

Conclusions: To improve surgical outcomes for lung cancer patients, future studies should continue to study optimal perioperative management of comorbidities.

Keywords: Cardiovascular disorders; End-stage renal disease; Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; Lung cancer; Pulmonary resection.
