Predicted postoperative (PPO) underestimate lung function and exercise capacity after resection in patients with lung cancer. Prediction is also very important for patients with symptomatic bronchiectasis. Methods: Prospective study to evaluate the accuracy of ppo FEV 1 , DLCO and VO 2 prediction in patients with bronchiectasis who undergo anatomic lung resection. Results: After 9 months we analyzed 44 patients. Data comparing PPO FEV 1 , DLCO, VO 2 max and the observed after surgery is summarized in . When we evaluate the difference in percentage of the observed values after surgery, we found that the majority (± 77%) had values above the PPO. Using the preoperative predictive values of FEV1, DLCO and VO2max as zero, we can note the number of patients above this baseline and how much (%) they are over the PPO. Conclusion: PPO underestimates the postoperative DLCO and VO2 values, the two most related parameters with the morbidity and mortality in patients with bronchiectasis who undergo resection. |
