연구배경 : 흉막박피술은 만성적인 농흉으로 인한 감염 병소의 제거와 감소된 폐기능의 향상을 도모할 목적으로 시행되어져 왔는데, 박피술 후 폐기능이 개선되지 않는 경우도 있어 어떤 군에서 박피술이 유용한 지에 대해 수술 전후의 폐기능 검사를 통해 이를 검토하였다. 방법 : 1990년부터 1996년까지 서울대 병원에서 결핵성 농흉으로 흉막 박피술을 시행받은 37명의 환자를 대상으로 수술 전후의 폐기능검사를 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과 : 환자군의 남녀비는 29 : 8, 나이의 중앙값은 34세(15-68)였다. 농흉의 발생부터 수술까지의 기간은 1개월에서부터 30년까지 다양했으며, 수술 후 폐기능 검사는 평균 5.4$\pm$2.6 개월에 행해졌다. 1. 전체 환자에서 FVC는 수술 전 2.77$\pm$0.67(L)에서 2.95$\pm$0.81 (L)로 유의하게 증가했다(p=0.02). 2. 40세 이하의 환자 군에서 40세 이상의 환자 군보다 FVC가 유의하게 증가했다(p=0.01). 3. 진단후 4개월 이내 조기 흉막박피술을 시행받은 군에서 진단 4개월 이후 시행받은 군보다 더욱 큰 FVC의 증가를 보였다(p=0.007). 4. 수술 전 폐기능검사에서 FVC가 예상치의 60% 이하로 감소되어 있던 군이 예상치의 60% 이상이었던 군에 비해 수술 후 FVC 의 유의한 증가를 보였다 (p=0.047). 5. 수술 전 흉부 방사선학적 검사상 흉막에 석회화를 동반하지 않은 군이 석회화를 동반한 군에 비해 FVC의 증가가 유의했다(p=0.02). 결론 : 이상의 결과에서 흉막박피술은 전반적으로 환자의 폐기능의 증가를 가져왔으며, 특히 40세 이전의 젊은 환자, 농흉 발생 후 4개월 이내 흉막 박피술을 시행했을 경우, 수술 전 폐활량이 예상치의 60%이하로 감소되었던 경우와 흉막에 석회화를 동반하지 않았을 때가 도움이 되었다.

연구배경 : 폐 절제술이 술후 운동능력의 변화에 어떤 영향을 주는지 잘 알려져 있지 않으나 폐 관류 검사를 이용하여 술후 운동능력을 예측하고자 하는 몇몇 연구들이 있었다. 그러나 이들 연구들은 검사시점 및 대상환자의 선정 등에 문제가 있음이 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서 폐암 환자에서 술후 운동능력을 예측하는데 술전 폐관류 검사의 유용성 및 술전 후의 폐기능의 변화가 운동능력의 변화와 상관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 술전 1주 이내에 폐기능 검사, 심폐 운동부하 검사, technetium 99m labelled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA)을 이용한 폐 관류 겸사 및 체중, 체질량 지수를 측정하였다. 폐관류 검사를 이용한 술후 검사의 예측치는 preoperative values measured$\pm$[% perfusion remained/(% perfusion resected+% perfusion remained)]를 이용하여 구하였다. 폐관류 검사를 이용한 술후 검사치의 예측도를 알기 위하여 술후 실측된 검사치와 폐관류 검사로 예측한 검사치의 비[postoperative value measured/postoperative value predicted)$\pm$100%]를 구하였다. 또한 환자의 술전 후 각각의 실측된 검사치 간의 차이를 비교하기 위하여[(preoperative value measured-postoperative value measured)/preoperative value measured]$\pm$100%를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 대상군에서 술전 및 술후 6개월에 측정한 체중 및 체질량 지수의 차이가 없었다. 술후 실측된 $VO_{2max}$는 폐관류 검사에 의하여 예측된 $VO_{2max}$의 112%이었으며, $WR_{max}$는 119% 이었다. 그러나 술후 실측된 심폐 운동부하 검사치는 폐관류 검사에 의하여 예측된 심폐 운동부하 검사치와 각각 $r_s$, 값이 0.794와 0.932로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 심폐 운동부하 검사치에서는 전폐절제술 환7-r군에서 술후 실측된 $VO_{2max}$ 및 $WR_{max}$는 예측된 각각의 검사치의 121.05%, 136.51%이었으며, 엽절제술 환자군에서는 각각 107.94%와 111.59%이었다. 심폐 운동부하 검사치의 감소는 엽절제술 환자군에서 $VO_{2max}$와 $WR_{max}$가 각각 7.69%와 3.73%이었고 전폐절제술 환자군에서는 15.71%와 7.14% 었다. 술전 후 $FEV_1$, FVC 및 TLC의 변화는 술전 후 $VO_{2max}$와 $WR_{max}$의 변화와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 술전 폐관류 검사는 술후 운동능력을 예측하는데 유용하다고 판단된다. 그러나 술전 폐관류 검사는 술후 운동능력을 낮게 평가하는 경향을 보였다.

Purpose Pulmonary complications continue to be the major cause of morbidity and mortality after esophageal resection. The aim of this study was to compare and analyze retrospectively the factors which effect for postoperative pulmonary complications in patients who underwent curative resection for esophageal cancer. Material and Method A total of 118 patients were enrolled in the study from January 1994 to March 2009, and patients with previous neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy were excluded. Of the total 118 patients, 27 patients developed pulmonary complications within 30 days of their operation. the factors which effect for postoperative pulmonary complications were compared and analyzed. Results There were 7 patients in-hospital deaths. 51 patients (43.2%) developed complications, and of them, the most common complication was pulmonary complication and occurred in 27 patients (22.9%). In univariate analysis, diabetes mellitus, cervical anastomosis through the retrosternal route, old age and poor lung function were risk factors contributing to postoperative pulmonary complications (p<0.05). In multivariate analysis, statistically significant factor was old age (65 years or older). Conclusion Clinical factor for the pulmonary complications after esophagectomy of esophageal cancer was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus, cervical anastomosis through the retrosternal route, old age (65 years or older) and poor lung function (FEV1<80%). Of these, old age was the most significant factor.

Background: Recent studies suggested that a preoperative block of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors with NMDA antagonists may reduce postoperative pain. In this double-blind study, magnesium sulfate, a natural NMDA receptor antagonist, was administered preoperatively to investigate the effects of magnesium sulfate on postoperative pain and pulmonary function. Methods: Seventy patients who were to undergo gastrectomy under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Groups 2 and 3 received intravenous magnesium, preoperatively (Group 2: 50 mg/kg bolus, 7.5 mg/kg/hr for 20 hr, Group 3: 50 mg/kg bolus, 15 mg/kg/hr for 20 hr). Group 1 received normal saline as the control group. Visual analog scale (VAS) for postoperative pain and mood, cumulative analgesic consumption, recovery of pulmonary function and side effects were evaluated at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the operation. Results: In Groups 2 and 3, plasma concentration of magnesium were significantly higher than in Group 1 at 6 and 20 hours after infusion (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the analgesic consumption, and recovery of pulmonary function and the incidence of side effects at 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the operation among the three groups. In Group 3, pain scores at rest measured 24 and 48 hours after operation were lower than the control group, and pain scores when deep breathing were significantly lower than the control group at postoperative 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Conclusions: We conclude that intravenous infusion of greater amount of magnesium has little effectiveness in reducing postoperative pain. However, further studies are needed to characterize the clinical significance of these effects on postoperative pain.

Background: Although various methods are already used to calculate predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁) based on preoperative FEV₁ in lung surgery, the predicted postoperative FEV₁ is not always the same as the actual postoperative FEV₁. Observed postoperative FEV₁ values are usually the same or higher than the predicted postoperative FEV₁. To overcome this issue, we investigated the relationship between the number of resected lung segments and the discordance of preoperative and postoperative FEV₁ values. Methods: From September 2014 to May 2020, the data of all patients who underwent anatomical lung resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were gathered and analyzed retrospectively. We investigated the association between the number of resected segments and the differential FEV₁ (a measure of the discrepancy between the predicted and observed postoperative FEV₁) using the t-test and linear regression. Results: Information on 238 patients who underwent VATS anatomical lung resection at Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong and by DH. Kim for benign and malignant disease was collected. After applying the exclusion criteria, 114 patients were included in the final analysis. In the multiple linear regression model, the number of resected segments showed a positive correlation with the differential FEV₁ (Pearson r=0.384, p<0.001). After adjusting for multiple covariates, the differential FEV₁ increased by 0.048 (95% confidence interval, 0.023-0.073) with an increasing number of resected lung segments (R²=0.271, p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, after pulmonary resection, the number of resected segments showed a positive correlation with the differential FEV₁.

We performed serial pulmonary function test and arterial blood gas analysis at preoperative period and postoperative 1st week in 337 patients who underwent pulmonary resection from May 1988 to April 1992 at Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul adventist hospital. Follow-up study for PFT and ABGA were possible in 30 % of the patients at postoperative 3rd or 4th month. In patient who underwent pneumonectomy, VC was decreased from 57.7% to 46.1%, FVC was decreased from 53.5 % to 41.2 % and MBC also decreased from 68.1% to 49.6 % at postoperative 1st week. But ABGA revealed that POa-, was increased from 87.2 mmHg to 92.7 mmHg, and PCO2 was decreased from 43.2 mmHg to 35.9 mmHg at postoperative 1st week. In patients who underwent lobectomy, VC was decreased from 78.1% to 68.30 %, FVC was decreased from 72.5% to 55.3% and MBC was decreased from 73.5% to 68% at postoperative 1st week.But, ABGA revealed that PO2 was increased from 95.2 mmHg to 97.9 mmHg and PCO2 was decreased from 42.3 mmHg to 39.0 mmHg at postoperative 1st week. The pulmonary function recovered at postoperative 3rd or 4th month and its ratio to preoperative value was 90% in lobectomy cases, but in pneumonectomy cases VC and MBC were recovered 20% and 15 % above the preoperative values. We concluded that resection of atelectasis, destructed lung, open negative and open positive cavity in the pulmonary tuberculosis were beni~t to improve ventilation-perfusion ratio,and pulmonary function was recovered nearly to preoperative level at postoperative 3rd or 4th month.

연구배경: 폐암은 근치적 폐절제술이 가장 효과적인 치료법이지만 폐암 환자들은 흔히 고령이면서 흡연으로 인한 폐 기능저하가 동반된 경우가 많고 정상 폐조직을 광범위하게 절제하게 되므로 다른 수술보다 수술후 사망률 및 폐합병증이 더욱 문제시되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 폐기능이 저하된 폐암환자에서 폐절제술후 사망 및 합병증과 관련된 수술전 인자를 일아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 1995년 10월부터 1997년 8월까지 삼성서울병원에서 폐절제술을 시행받는 환자중에 $FEV_1$ 이 2L 이하이거나 예측치의 60% 이하인 환자를 대상으로 전향적 연구를 시행하였고 수술후 최종진단이 폐암이 아니거나 폐절제가 시행되지 않았던 환자는 최종대상에서 제외하였다. 수술 전에 대상환자의 성별, 연령, 체중 감소의 정도, 동반질환, 폐쇄성 폐렴여부를 조사하였고, 헤마토크릿, 혈청알부민, 심전도, 안정시동맥혈가스, $FEV_1$, DLco를 비롯한 폐활량검사, 운동부하 폐 기능검사를 시행하였으며 폐관류주사를 이용하여 수술후 폐기능예측지표를 산출하였다. 수술시 집도의, 폐절제술범위, 수술시간, 수술후 병기, 수술후 중환자실 체류시간을 기록하였고 사망 및 합병증은 수술후 30 일내의 사망, 폐렴이나 호흡부전 등과 같은 폐합병증, 48시간 이상의 중환자실 입원, 심장계 합병증, 농흉, 출혈, 반회후두신경손상 등 기타 합병증으로 분류하여 수술 후 발생여부를 확인하였다. 결 과: 최종 대상환자는 36명이었고 연령은 44-82세로 중앙값은 65세였으며 $FEV_1$은 $1.78\pm0.06L$이었다. 수술은 14예가 엽절제술, 8예가 이엽절제술, 14예가 전폐절제술을 시행 받았다. 수술후 사망이 2예에서 있었고 폐합병증이 10예, 48 시간이상의 중환자실 입원이 12예, 심장합병증이 3예, 기타 합병증이 4예에서 각각 발생하였으며 사망과 관련된 수술전 인자로는 혈청 알부민, DLco, 체중감소정도, ppo-DLco, ppo-DLco%, Wmax, 폐절제 정도, ppo-$VO_2$max등 이었고(p<0.05), ppo-$VO_2$max가 10ml/kg/min 이하인 환자 2명은 모두 사망한 반면 10ml/kg/min 이상인 환자에서는 사망이 없었다(p<0.01). 수술 후폐합병증은 체중감소정도, 호흡곤란정도, DLco, ppo-DLco, Wmax, MVV와 밀접한 관련이 있었다(p<0.05). 그러나 다변량분석에 의해 사망과 관련하여 유의한 지표는 없었으며 폐합병증과 관련하여 유의한 지표는 MVV(p<0.05) 였다. 결 론: 폐기능이 저하된 폐암환자의 수술후 사망 및 폐합병증과 관련하여 유용한 예견지표는 체중감소 정도, 호흡곤란 정도, 폐절제범위 등 폐기능검사와 관련되지 않은 지표들이 중요한 예견지표였고 운동부하폐기능검사지표들은 수술후 사망 및 합병증을 예측하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 생각되며, 특히 ppo-$VO_2$max가 10ml/kg/min 이하인 환자는 수술후 사망률이 높을 것으로 추정된다.

Background: Pneumonectomy remains the ultimate curative treatment modality for destroyed lung caused by tuberculosis despite multiple risks involved in the procedure. We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent pneumonectomy for treatment of sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis to determine the risk factors of early and long-term outcomes. Materials and Methods: Between January 1980 and December 2008, pneumonectomy or pleuropneumonectomy was performed in 73 consecutive patients with destroyed lung caused by tuberculosis. There were 48 patients with empyema (12 with bronchopleural fistula [BPF]), 11 with aspergilloma and 7 with multidrug resistant tuberculosis. Results: There were 5 operative mortalities (6.8%). One patient had intraoperative uncontrolled arrhythmia, one had a postoperative cardiac arrest, and three had postoperative respiratory failure. A total of 29 patients (39.7%) suffered from postoperative complications. Twelve patients (16.7%) were found to have postpneumonectomy empyema (PPE), 4 patients had wound infections (5.6%), and 7 patients required re-exploration due to postoperative bleeding (9.7%). The prevalence of PPE increased in patients with preoperative empyema (p=0.019). There were five patients with postoperative BPF, four of which occurred in right-side operation. The only risk factor for BPF was the right-side operation (p=0.023). The 5- and 10-year survival rates were 88.9% and 76.2%, respectively. The risk factors for late deaths were old age (${\geq}50$ years, p=0.02) and low predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) (< 1.2 L, p=0.02). Conclusion: Although PPE increases in patients with preoperative empyema and postoperative BPF increases in right-side operation, the mortality rates and long-term survival rates were found to be satisfactory. However, the follow-up care for patients with low predicted postoperative FEV1 should continue for prevention and early detection of pulmonary complication related to impaired pulmonary function.

This is a report on four cases of the lobar emphysema due to proximal bronchial obstruction in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital, during the period of three and half years from 1972 to 1975. First case, a two years old male child was referred to our Department with the lobar emphysema of the lower lobe of the right lung with pneumonia. This emphysema was developed after aspiration of a piece of peanut. Bronchoscopy revealed that the bronchus of the right lower lobe was obstructed with the foreign body, however removal of the peanut through bronchoscope was not attempted because of corruption and softening of the peanut. The removal of the peanut by bronchotomy was performed after subsiding of acute phase of pulmonary infection. Postoperative course was uneventful and the emphysema was disappeared. Second case, a twenty months old female baby was referred to our Department with lobar emphysema of the lower lobe of the left lung. The emphysema was suddenly developed with coughing and dyspneic symptoms and the diagnosis was made roentgenologically. She gave a history of reccurrent infections of the respiratory tract after birth. Bronchoscopy showed an obstruction of the left main bronchus with the growing of fibrinous tissue on the bronchial mucosa. The protruded tissue in the left main bronchus taken out about O.8ml with biopsy forceps for histological examination. After this procedure, the emphysema of the left lung was disappeared. Histological finding was reported to be a chronic inflammatory granulation tissue. Third case, a two and half years old male child was referred to our Department with roentgenological lobar emphysema. Two weeks prior to admission he had an episode of sudden onset of coughing attack with dyspnea. Bronchoscopy revealed that the bronchus of the left lower lobe was obstructed with a mass which was strongly suspected of a neoplastic tissue. At operation, there was found a perforation of enlarged tuberculous lymph node in the bronchus of the left lower lobe and protrusion of granulation tissue into the bronchus. Ruptured orifice on themembranous wall of the left lower lobe bronchus was closed with interrupted suture after the" removal of a perforated tuberculous lymph node. Postoperative course was uneventful and antituberculous chemotherapy was given. Fourth case, a 47 years old man was admitted to our Department with the complaint of severe dyspnea of few months duration. Twenty years ago, he had a history of lung tuberculosis and was treated for many years. X-ray examination including tomography and bronchography revealed that the upper lobe of the right lung was destroyed with cavities, the lower lobe was completely shrunk, and the right middle lobe was strongly overdistended with narrowing bronchial trees. Differential bronchospirometry and lung scanning confirmed that the respiratory function of the affected lung was impaired almost totally. The value of the right lung was calculated on 6% of oxygen uptake, 1% of Minute volume, and 32% of vital capacity. The right pneumonectomy was performed under the careful consideration of anesthetic and surgical procedures. Postoperative course was uneventful and the respiratory function was improved nearly to the normal level.evel.
