Delayed extubation is one of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Preoperative pulmonary function test (PFT) is an important assessment for patients undergoing lung resection. Volume-oriented incentive spirometry (IS) is one of physiotherapies to prevent PPCs. Preoperative PFT and IS volume (IS-v) can reflect the physiologic conditions of respiratory system in patients planning to undergo lung resection. However, the relationship between preoperative PFT/IS-v and delayed extubation in patients undergoing lung resection remains unclear. The study investigated the risk factors and impact of delayed extubation after lung resection. We aimed to achieve early recognition of patients being at a higher risk for developing postoperative delayed extubation after lung resection.
