Anaesthesia for lung volume reduction surgery.
To date, only a few published studies have been concerned with the anaesthesiological aspects of lung volume reduction surgery. This review summarizes the different anaesthetic concepts and offers a general strategy to meet specific requirements. Limitation of peak inspiratory pressure, tolerance of hypercapnia and avoidance of hypoxia during one-lung ventilation, and the immediate postoperativ...

Background. Surgery to reduce lung volume has recently been reintroduced to alleviate dyspnea and improve exercise tolerance in selected patients with emphysema. A reliable means of identifying patients who are likely to benefit from this surgery is needed. Methods. We measured lung resistance during inspiration, static recoil pressure at total lung capacity, static lung compliance, expiratory ...

BACKGROUND Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) performed to treat patients with severe diffuse emphysema was reintroduced in the nineties. Lung volume reduction surgery aims to resect damaged emphysematous lung tissue, thereby increasing elastic properties of the lung. This treatment is hypothesised to improve long-term daily functioning and quality of life, although it may be costly and may b...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery for emphysema.
Over the past decades, extensive literature has been published regarding surgical therapies for advanced COPD. Lung-volume reduction surgery would be an option for a significantly larger number of patients than classic bullectomy or lung transplantation. Unfortunately, the initial enthusiasm has been tempered by major questions regarding the optimal surgical approach, safety, firm selection cri...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery for severe emphysema.
The lung-volume reduction procedure is a palliative one, designed to relieve dyspnea, and improve the patient's ability to carry out routine activities of daily living without significant limitations. The rationale for this procedure and its development are discussed. In addition, patient selection, operative technique, postoperative care, results, and complications are considered. Ultimately, ...
