“…The addition of inhaled steroid to long acting bronchodilator in patients with previously untreated COPD has been found related with improved preoperative FEV1 and lower postoperative pulmonary complication rate compared to long acting bronchodilator alone (17). The association of respiratory physiotherapy before surgery has been also proven to provide significant functional improvement allowing the operation in patients previously considered unfit for the pulmonary resection (18).…”

“…In another prospective randomized study analyzing patients with untreated COPD, the addition of inhaled steroid to long acting bronchodilator was related with improved preoperative FEV1 and decreased postoperative pulmonary complication rate (18) compared to long acting bronchodilator alone. There is also evidence that pharmacological optimisation associated with respiratory physiotherapy in the preoperative setting may result in significant functional improvement allowing the operation in patients previously considered unfit for surgical resection (19). Based on current available data, optimisation of pharmacological therapy associated with respiratory physiotherapy should be recommended in functionally compromised patients with the aim of improving respiratory function and reducing perioperative morbidity.…”
