Maximum oxygen consumption per min (VO(₂max)) is currently considered the most accurate test for the preoperative risk assessment in patients scheduled for pulmonary resection. Due to its high-technology requirements and cost, VO(₂max) is performed less frequently than is desired. The objective of this investigation is to determine if the measurement of the basal daily ambulatory activity of the patients, with a pedometer, can be used to predict VO(₂max) values.
