Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of operative indication in patients with lung cancer accompanied by lung dysfunction using cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Methods Before operation, using CPET with step program, work rate(W%), maximal oxygen uptake(VO2%P), maximal oxygen uptake per kilogram(VO2/kg) and other indexes were tested in the end of load exercise in 195 patients with lung cancer accompanied by lung dysfunction. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed for the abnormal rate of indexes mentioned above in patients with or without postoperative respiratory failure. Results After pneumonectomy, W%,VO2%P, VO2/kg, metabolic equivalent (MET), minute ventilation(VE) and respiratory frequency(BF) in patients with postoperative respiratory failure were lower than those in patients with non-postoperative respiratory failure (Plt;0.05 or 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that VElt;30 L/min and (BFlt;30) times/min were more related to the morbidity of postoperative respiratory failure than other indexes. As for the patients with lung dysfunction treated by lobectomy, this indexes didn’t show any significant difference between patients with or without postoperative respiratory failure. However, this indexes decreased in patients with postoperative respiratory failure whose ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1%) were lower than 60%(Plt;0.05 or 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that VO2%Plt;60% related to the morbidity of postoperative respiratory failure. Conclusion CPET is useful to evaluate the operative indication in patients with lung cancer accompanied by lung dysfunction. VO2%Plt;60% should be selected as a evaluating index.
Objective To explore the relationship between preoperative fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in type 2 diabetic patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic lung resection, and provide a reference for prediction and prevention of PPCs in the clinic. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the type 2 diabetic patients who underwent elective thoracoscopic lung resection for the first time in our hospital from January 2017 to March 2021. According to the level of FPG one day before the operation, the patients were divided into three groups: a hypoglycemia group (<6.1 mmol/L), a medium level blood glucose group (≥6.1 mmol/L and <8.0 mmol/L) and a high blood glucose group (≥8.0 mmol/L). Besides, the patients were divided into a PPCs group and a non-PPCs group according to whether PPCs occurred. The risk factors for PPCs were analyzed by logistic regression analysis, and the predictive value of preoperative FPG level on PPCs was estimated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results A total of 130 patients were included, including 75 (57.7%) males and 55 (42.3%) females with an average age of 63.5±9.0 years. Logistic regression analysis showed that compared to non-PPCs patients, the level of preoperative FPG (P=0.023) and smoking history ratio (P=0.036) were higher and the operation time was longer (P=0.004) in the PPCs patients. High FPG level on preoperative day 1 and longer operation time were associated with PPCs risk. Besides, the preoperative FPG of 6.79 mmol/L was the threshold value to predict the occurrence of PPCs [AUC=0.653, 95%CI (0.559, 0.747), P=0.003]. Conclusion There is a certain correlation between preoperative FPG level and postoperative PPCs, which may be used as an index to predict the occurrence of PPCs.
ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the risk factors for postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing lung resection. MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were searched from the inception to November 7, 2024 for cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies on POD in patients undergoing lung resection. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the literature. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for meta-analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. ResultsA total of 12 studies were included, with 5 574 patients. The quality scores of the literature were all ≥6 points. Meta-analysis results showed that age (≥60 years) [OR=2.43, 95%CI (2.01, 2.93), P<0.01], ASA classification (Ⅳ) [OR=8.74, 95%CI (5.23, 14.61), P<0.01], history of diabetes [OR=12.81, 95%CI (10.45, 15.71), P<0.01], history of cerebrovascular disease [OR=3.00, 95%CI (2.46, 3.67), P<0.01], depression [OR=7.27, 95%CI (5.46, 9.67), P<0.01], squamous cell carcinoma [OR=4.79, 95%CI (1.83, 12.51), P<0.01], malnutrition [OR=5.25, 95%CI (3.35, 8.25), P<0.01], sleep disorders [OR=2.79, 95%CI (2.28, 3.42), P<0.01], and duration of one-lung ventilation during surgery [OR=1.32, 95%CI (1.11, 1.57), P<0.01] are all risk factors for POD, while high body mass index [OR=0.96, 95%CI (0.95, 0.97), P<0.01] is a protective factor for POD. ConclusionAge (≥60 years), ASA classification (Ⅳ), history of diabetes, history of cerebrovascular disease, depression, squamous cell carcinoma, malnutrition, sleep disorders, and duration of one-lung ventilation during surgery are independent risk factors for POD, while high BMI is a protective factor.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of single utility port Da Vinci robot-assisted lung resection via anterior approach.MethodsThe clinical data of 21 patients who underwent single utility port Da Vinci robot-assisted lung resection from February to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 10 males and 11 females, with a median age of 50 (34-66) years. The operation time, blood loss, postoperative hospitalization time, postoperative complications and other indicators were analyzed.ResultsAll patients completed the operation successfully with no transition to thoracotomy or perioperative death. Overall surgery time was 103 (70-200) min, Docking time was 5 (3-10) min, operation time was 81 (65-190) min. The blood loss was 45 (20-300) mL. All patients had malignant tumors, the number of dissected lymph node station was 3 (1-6), and the number of lymph nodes was 5 (2-16). The postoperative indwelling time was 3 (2-5) d. The postoperative hospitalization time was 5 (3-7) d. The pain score for the first 3 days after surgery was 3±1 points.ConclusionSingle utility port robot-assisted lung resection via anterior approach is safe, less traumatic, more convenient and effective, which can be gradually promoted and applied to clinical trials.
