Thoracic surgery in the elderly.
With careful attention to details of preoperative, operative and postoperative care, intrathoracic procedures can be carried out safely in the elderly patient. The authors describe such procedures in 111 patients over 60 years of age who presented with a wide variety of primary diseases. Bronchogenic carcinoma, present in 48 patients, was the commonest. One-third of the total group had significant associated disease, usually in the form of coronary artery or chronic respiratory disease. The overall mortality rate was 6.3%.Before surgery, all patients were prophylactically digitalized regardless of their cardiac status. Blood volume estimations were determined in those with excessive weight loss. At operation, measurement of central venous pressure was found to be the best guide to blood replacement.Retention of bronchial secretions was the commonest postoperative complication. This problem can be minimized with intensive chest physiotherapy, adequate hydration, minimal doses of analgesic agents and, when indicated, early tracheostomy.

Clinical value of esophageal motility testing.
Esophageal motility testing is the method of choice in evaluating esophageal motor disorders. Some physicians, however, question the clinical utility of esophageal motility testing, since the results are often normal in symptomatic patients. The clinical utility of esophageal motility testing is reviewed for patients with a complaint of noncardiac chest pain, dysphagia or symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Esophageal motility testing is particularly useful for evaluating patients with dysphagia, but less so for gastroesophageal reflux disease patients, and has little clinical utility in patients with noncardiac chest pain.
