متن کاملIncidence, severity and perioperative risk factors for atrial fibrillation following pulmonary resection.
OBJECTIVES Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF) occurs commonly following pulmonary resection. Our aims were to quantify the incidence and severity of PAF using the Thoracic Morbidity & Mortality classification system, and identify risk factors for PAF. METHODS All consecutive patients undergoing pulmonary resection at a single centre (January 2008 - April 2010) were enrolled. PAF was defi...
متن کاملReduction of intraoperative air leaks with Progel in pulmonary resection: a comprehensive review
Intraoperative alveolar air leaks (IOALs) occur in 75% of patients during pulmonary resection. Despite routine use of sutures and stapling devices, they remain a significant problem in the daily practice of thoracic surgery. Air leaks that persist beyond postoperative day 5 often result in increased costs and complications. Several large meta-analyses have determined that sealants as a class re...
