tailieunhanh - CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND RENAL TRANSPLANTATION

Exercise tests are thought to mimic the postoperative increase in oxygen consumption and have been used to select patients at high risk of cardiopulmonary complications after thoracic, but also abdominal surgery. The aim of exercise tests is to stress the whole cardiopulmonary system and estimate the physiological reserve that may be available after lung resection. The most used and best validated exercise parameter is V’O2, max. In the literature, V’O2, max appears to be a very strong predictor of postoperative complications, as well as a good predictor of long-term post-operative exercise capacity. . | CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND RENAL TRANSPLANTATION Edited by Manisha Sahay Chronic Kidney Disease and Renal Transplantation Edited by Manisha Sahay Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
