Awake nonresectional lung volume reduction surgery.
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility, safety, and early results of awake lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) performed under thoracic epidural anesthesia by a new nonresectional technique. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA So far, resectional LVRS under general anesthesia and one-lung ventilation is the more frequently used technique, but procedure-related morbidity has been considerable. METHODS The...
متن کاملDuration of air leak is reduced after awake nonresectional lung volume reduction surgery.
OBJECTIVE Prolonged air leak occurs frequently after lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and can negatively affect both morbidity and hospital stay. We hypothesised that awake nonresectional LVRS could reduce the duration of air leak in emphysema patients. METHODS This analysis included 66 patients undergoing awake, unilateral plication of the most emphysematous lung regions under sole epidu...
متن کاملLung volume reduction surgery.
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 ...
متن کاملTwo-year improvement in multidimensional body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index after nonresectional lung volume reduction surgery in awake patients.
BACKGROUND This study analyzed the comprehensive 2-year outcome of nonresectional lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in awake patients, including calculation of the multidimensional BODE index (body mass index, degree of airflow obstruction assessed by spirometry, modified Medical Research Council dyspnea grade, and 6-minute walking distance), which has proved a useful predictor of survival i...
متن کامل[Lung volume reduction surgery for diffuse emphysema].
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...
