CID-JUAREZ, Silvia et al. Preoperative functional assessment for lung resection candidates. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2018, vol.77, n.1, pp.38-46. ISSN 0028-3746.

Lung cancer in early stages is a major cause of lung resection surgery with curative intent. The identification of risk factors associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality and the estimation of residual lung function as well as cardiopulmonary reserve help reduce perioperative risks as well as reduce the physical disability of the pulmonary patient. The objective of this work is to offer pulmonologists and chest surgeons an overview of the practical aspects of preoperative functional assessment in pulmonary resection, with the intention that it be taken into account for the benefit of patients.
