Prediction of postoperative respiratory function in patients undergoing lung resection

W R Cooper et al. Va Med. 1980 Apr.

Abstract

Using xenon-133 radiospirometry and formulae devised on geometric grounds, the authors predicted postoperative lung function in 12 patients who underwent lobectomy, wedge resection, or pneumonectomy for suspected carcinoma. No correlation was found, however, between preoperative, predicted, and postoperative lung function and immediate postoperative morbidity and mortality.
