Abstract
The postpneumonectomy state is affected by low actual postpneumonectomy FEV1 values and serious percent reduction of FVC from preoperative values. Right pneumonectomy together with obstructive ventilatory pattern and minimal bronchial obstruction are preoperative factors that result in serious reduction of FEV1 and percent reduction of FVC.
