Abstract:
Pneumonectomy is an entire lung removal and is indicated for both malignant and benign diseases. Due to its invasiveness and postoperative complications, pneumonectomy is still associated with high mortality and morbidity. Appropriate postoperative management is crucial in pneumonectomy patients to improve quality of life and overall survival rates. Diverse drug regimens are under development to be used in adjuvant chemotherapy or to improve respiratory health after a pneumonectomy. The most common causes for a pneumonectomy are non-small cell lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, and tuberculosis; thus, an appropriate drug regimen is necessary. The uncommon incidence of pneumonectomy cases remains the major obstacle in studies of postoperative drug regimens. As the majority of current studies include post-lobectomy and post-segmentectomy patients, it is highly recommended that further research of postoperative drug regimens be focused on post-pneumonectomy patients.

Abstract:
A 54-year-old man with right aortic arch underwent left lower lobectomy and lingular segmentectomy, followed by complete pneumonectomy, for refractory nontuberculous mycobacterial infection. Three months after the pneumonectomy, he developed acute respiratory distress. Computed tomography showed an excessive mediastinal shift with an extremely narrowed bronchus intermedius and right lower bronchus compressed between the right pulmonary artery and the right descending aorta. Soon after the nearly obstructed bronchus intermedius was observed by bronchoscopy, he began to exhibit frequent hypoxic attacks, perhaps due to mucosal edema. Emergent surgical repositioning of the mediastinum and decompression of the bronchus was indicated. After complete adhesiolysis of the left thoracic cavity was performed, to maintain the proper mediastinal position, considering the emergent setting, an open wound thoracostomy was created and piles of gauze were inserted, mildly compressing the heart and the mediastinum to the right side. Thoracoplasty was performed three months later, and he was eventually discharged without any dressings needed. Mediastinal repositioning under thoracostomy should be avoided in elective cases because of its extremely high invasiveness. However, in the case of life-threatening postpneumonectomy syndrome in an emergent setting, mediastinal repositioning under thoracostomy may be an option to save life, which every thoracic surgeon could attempt.

Abstract:
Background. Pneumonectomy is one of the most traumatic thoracic surgeries, leading to a significant decrease in the patient’s functional status. Despite numerous questionnaires, there is no standard approach to the study of the quality of life of patients who have undergone radical surgery for lung cancer.The purpose of the study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of the quality of life of patients who underwent pneumonectomy during the period 2017–2018, taking into account the extent of surgery, presence of concomitant disease and adjuvant antitumor treatment.Material and Methods. Changes in the quality of life (qol) during combined modality treatment were evaluated in 40 patients with non-small cell lung cancer. To assess the functional status, the criteria adopted for determining the surgical risk were used. The st. George`s Respiratory Questionnaire (sgrq) and Quality Outcomes study short-Form 36 (sf-36) were used to assess the respiratory system of patients. Data collection was carried out 12 months after surgery using a questionnaire method based on a direct survey of respondents.Conclusion. Postoperative special treatment significantly worsens both the functional parameters of patients and the quality of life. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach to the management of patient with participation of an oncologist, pulmonologist, physiotherapist, and rehabilitologist is required.

Abstract:
In 13 patients an open window thoracostomy (OWT) was performed for post pneumonectomy pleural empyema. The operation, and life with an OWT cavity, were tolerated well. Early closure of an OWT is not advisable because of a high chance of recurrence of the infection and, in lung cancer patients also the risk of tumour relapse within two years after tumour surgery.

Abstract:
Post-pneumonectomy air leak and severe respiratory failure of the non-operated lung is considered to be a life-threatening complication of lung surgery. We present the case report of a 68-year-old man who underwent a right pneumonectomy for spinocellular carcinoma. Refractory respiratory failure occurred following bronchial stump air leakage and adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of the non-operated lung. Established veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) was utilized to maintain tissue oxygenation while re-do surgery was performed. The leaking bronchial stump was closed with an azygos vein patch and, subsequently, weaning off ECMO was accomplished 7 days later. The patient fully recovered and he is limited only by mild exertional dyspnea at 24 months follow-up after the initial surgery.

Abstract:
Little is known about the recovery of patients after pneumonectomy and the impact of the surgery on the lifestyle of young, employed, ex-smokers and their families. This study was conducted to address this knowledge deficit, and gather information that would help health professionals to be able to assist people facing pneumonectomy. A qualitative study using van Manens methodological approach to interpretive phenomenology was chosen, in order to capture a full and rich understanding and meaning of the phenomenon that patients live. The names, age, operation, histological cell type, stage of disease, and disease free status of potential participants were obtained from a Lung Cancer Surgical Database after obtaining ethical approval for the study. Nine participants (three females and six males) met the inclusion criteria and gave informed consent for the study. Data collection comprised of open-ended interviews that were audiotaped, then transcribed verbatim into hard data. Data interpretation was based on the selective reading approach of van Manen from which six thematic statements arose. These are living the discomforts of treatment and recovery, discovering new limitations on myself; functional and emotional, my reliance on support, my financial security is threatened, my survival is at threat, and I wish I had known more. The study found that each participant had a unique experience of recovery and consequently the degree of recovery attained varied between participants. They all had a very strong desire to survive lung cancer and considered the risks of major surgery and loosing a lung to be insignificant compared to the certainty of loosing their life if they did not undergo surgery. This study provided a glimpse of what it was like for a group of patients to live the experience of life after a pneumonectomy and it provides a basis from which nurses can explore further the experiences of patients who are subjected to lung cancer surgery.
