Preoperative judgments of this type must be made more frequently today due to the prevalence of bronchogenic carcinoma and emphysema in our older population. Furthermore, the contribution of effective postoperative ventilatory support and more precise techniques for preoperative evaluation has extended our ability to operate on many patients previously considered inoperable.Simple ventilatory studies and fluoroscopy are sufficient to evaluate the preoperative pulmonary status of 75 to 85% of patients undergoing...References1.
