Summary
Surgical resection, including pneumonectomy, is key for non-small cell lung cancer. This case highlights successful pneumonectomy after rehabilitation for lung disease, showing improved surgical candidacy.
Area of Science:
- Thoracic Surgery
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Surgical Oncology
Background:
- Surgical resection is the primary treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Pneumonectomy, a major lung surgery, is reserved for centrally located tumors but requires adequate pulmonary reserve.
- Patients with insufficient pulmonary function may be deemed inoperable for NSCLC, necessitating alternative treatments.

874
Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

268
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...
