Background: Preoperative spirometry provides measurable information about the occurrence of respiratory disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the association between preoperative spirometry abnormalities and the intensification of early inflammatory responses in patients following coronary artery bypass graft in extracorporeal circulation.
Material And Methods: The study involved 810 patients (625 men and 185 women) aged 65.4±7.9 years who were awaiting isolated coronary artery bypass surgery. On the basis of spirometry performed on the day of admittance to the hospital, the patients were divided into three groups. Patients without respiratory problems constituted 78.8% of the entire group. Restricted breathing was revealed by spirometry in 14.9% and obstructive breathing in 6.3% of patients.
Results: Inter-group analysis showed statistically significant differences in C-reactive protein (CRP) between patients with restrictive spirometry abnormalities and patients without any pulmonary dysfunction. CRP concentrations differed before surgery (=0.006) and on the second (<0.001), fourth (=0.005) and sixth days after surgery (=0.029). There was a negative correlation between CRP levels and FEV.
Conclusion: In our study, the most common pulmonary disorders in the coronary artery bypass graft patients were restrictive. Patients with abnormal spirometry results from restrictive respiratory disorders have an elevated level of generalized inflammatory response both before and after the isolated coronary artery bypass surgery. Therefore, this group of patients should be given special postoperative monitoring and, in particular, intensive respiratory rehabilitation immediately after reconstitution.

Question: What is the effect of 3 days of preoperative inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on lung function prior to heart valve surgery and on postoperative lung function and pulmonary complications compared with sham and no IMT?
Design: A three-arm, multicentre, randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis and blinded assessment of some outcomes.
Participants: This study included 228 adults scheduled for heart valve surgery.
Interventions: The IMT group received 3 days of IMT at 30% maximal inspiratory pressure, the sham IMT group received the same but at 10% maximal inspiratory pressure and the control group received no IMT.

Background And Objective: Postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients following thoracic surgery can be an important strategy for restoring functional exercise capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) in patients with NSCLC undergoing thoracic surgery and early home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and, subsequently, to assess the associations of the test results with muscle strength and quality of life (QoL).
Methods: This observational study evaluated 18 patients with NSCLC before and after home-based pulmonary rehabilitation.

Introduction: Mandibular fractures have significant influence on oropharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal portions of the upper airway. They can be managed by MMF or ORIF.
Aim & Objectives: To quantify and compare the effects of MMF with ORIF on the pulmonary functions of the patients undergoing treatment for mandibular fractures.

Introduction: Intrathecal opioid is an analgesic option in laparoscopic surgery. We assessed primarily the intraoperative opioid requirement amongst patients receiving intrathecal morphine (ITM) (Group M) versus standard care (Group C) for abdominal surgery. The secondary outcomes were intraoperative haemodynamic changes, extubation on table and pain scores in the intensive care unit (ICU) at 6 th hourly intervals for 24 h postoperatively.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between the COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients with mild to moderate COPD undergoing lung surgery, highlighting the necessity of thorough preoperative evaluations.
- - Out of 83 patients analyzed, 19.2% experienced PPCs, with a notable correlation found between higher CAT scores and increased risk of complications; specifically, a CAT score of ≥7 was identified as a significant predictor.
- - The findings suggest that CAT scores can serve as an effective tool for predicting the likelihood of PPCs in COPD patients prior to lung resection surgery, outperforming other traditional predictive factors in this context.
