BACKGROUND: An evaluation of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) screening and pre-operative pulmonary rehabilitation in reducing @entity260 and improving fast-track recovery in high-risk @entity1 who undergo resection for @entity2 . METHODS: Of 342 potential @entity2 cases, 142 high-risk @entity1 were finally divided into two groups: group R (n = 71) underwent an intensive pre-operative pulmonary rehabilitation program (PRP), followed by lobectomy; group S (n = 71) underwent only lobectomy with conventional management. @entity260 , average days in hospital, postoperative days in hospital, and cost were analyzed. RESULTS: The 142 high-risk @entity1 were screened by smoking history and CPET. Sixty-eight @entity1 had @entity2488 ( @entity2488 ) and 47 @entity1 had peak expiratory flow <250   L/minute by CPET. The rate of postoperative total complications in group R (16.90%) was significantly lower than in group S (83.31%) (P = 0.00), as was the rate of @entity260 PPC: group R (12.81%) versus   S (13.55%) (P = 0.009); the PPC in the left lung (17.9%) was higher than in the right lung (2.3%) (P = 0.00). The average days in hospital in group S was significantly higher than in group R (P = 0.03). There was no difference between groups in average hospital cost (P = 0.304). CONCLUSION: Pre-operative screening using CPET is conducive to identifying high-risk @entity1 for lung resection. Pre-operative pulmonary rehabilitation is helpful to @entity260 and improve fast-track recovery.
