Minute ventilation to carbon dioxide output (V’E/V’CO2 slope) is the strongest death predictor before larger lung resections
The minute ventilation to CO2 production ratio (V’E/V’CO2 slope) was recently identified as a mortality predictor after lung surgery, but the effect of the resection extent was not taken into account. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of V’E/V’CO2 slope as preoperative mortality pr...
