"Prohibitive" lung function and major surgical procedures

C D Williams, J B Brenowitz

    American Journal of Surgery
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Patients with "prohibitive" pulmonary function test results can undergo major surgery. Pulmonary function testing alone should not prevent necessary operations, but rather indicate increased surgical risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Pulmonary medicine
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Preoperative pulmonary function testing (PFTs) is crucial for assessing surgical risk.
    • The Miller quadrant diagram categorizes PFT results into risk levels, including a "prohibitive" range.
    • Muscular weakness can exacerbate pulmonary complications.
