Anesthesia & Analgesia, 2003•journals.lww.comIMPLICATIONS: In an observational study including all patients undergoing lung surgery, we
describe two clinical forms of acute lung injury (ALI): a delayed-onset form triggered by
intercurrent complications and an early form associated with preoperative alcohol
consumption, pneumonectomy, high intraoperative pressure index, and excessive fluid
intake over the first 24 h. Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a leading cause of
mortality for both men and women in most Western countries (1). Surgical resection …

Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is a leading cause of mortality for both men and women in most Western countries (1). Surgical resection, occasionally combined with chemo-and radiotherapy, still offers the best chances of survival in the early stages of the disease, although it is indicated in only 20%–25% of newly diagnosed cases of NSCLC (2, 3).
