Effect of prehabilitation on ventilatory efficiency in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer patients: a cohort-study
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for patients awaiting lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has developed considerably in recent years. Pulmonary rehabilitation before surgery (prehabilitation) improves postoperative risk-factors such as FEV1 and VO2peak. Ventilatory inefficiency assessed by the VE/VCO2 slope> 35, is a high risk-factor for postoperative complications. Our objective was to assess the effect of prehabilitation on VE/VCO2 slope, and its relationship with VO2peak.
