Filter by:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical complication associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality that can occur in critically ill patients and after major surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to identify the incidance and outcomes of patients underwent pneumonectomy, defined by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria.
Pneumonectomy is a high-risk surgical procedure, causing impaired respiratory functions and exercise intolerance. It is associated with decreased physical activity, quality of life and increased fatigue. The primary aim of the study is to compare the exercise capacity and respiratory functions of lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy and healthy individuals. The secondary aim of the study is to compare peripheral and respiratory muscle strength, respiratory muscle endurance, physical activity level, shortness of breath, fatigue and quality of life of lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy and healthy individuals.
Major lung resection is associated with high post-operative morbidity and mortality and significant long-term decreased functional capacity, especially due to cardiorespiratory complications. RV (Right Ventricle) ejection, pulmonary artery pressure and tone are tightly coupled. The RV is exquisitely sensitive to changes in afterload. When pulmonary vascular reserve is compromised RV ejection may be also compromised, increasing right atrial pressure and limiting maximal cardiac output. Acute increase in RV outflow resistance, as may occur with acute pulmonary embolism will cause acute RV dilatation and, by ventricular interdependence, markedly decreased LV (Left Ventricle) compliance, rapidly spiraling to acute cardiogenic shock and death. Most of the studies on RV function after lung resection are small and have found different results, and sometimes conflicting findings. As far as the investigators know, there are no data on the incidence of the RV dysfunction after major lung resection (pneumonectomy/bilobectomy) and it's not clear if there is some direct association between the RV dysfunction and post-operative complications. If so, early detection of RV dysfunction after major lung resection could provide the opportunity for interventional therapy with consequent possible improvement of these patients' prognosis.
This prospective and observational cohort studies the morphine consumption difference during the first 48 hours after a lung lobectomy between patients operated with a robot assisted or a video-assisted technique for a lung cancer lobectomy. Second outcome was to search eventual cardiac output difference during the surgery in 100 patients (50 in each group) using a non invasive monitoring device of cardiac output All patients operated between january 2016 and March 2017 for a lung cancer lobectomy were included.
