Key result
Severely low predicted postoperative FEV1, DLCO, and VO2 max indicate high risk for chest surgery.
Provides criteria for high-risk patients undergoing chest surgery and emphasizes the role of prehabilitation in optimizing surgical candidates.
Prehabilitation may shift risk management to reduction for low-endurance thoracic surgery candidates; leaves open prospective validation.

Toyama et al. (2022) conducted a review in Chest surgery. Preoperative evaluation and management was evaluated. Predicted postoperative FEV1 or DLCO less than 30% and maximum oxygen consumption less than 10 mL/kg/min indicate high risk for patients undergoing chest surgery.
