Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the 6-minute walk test with the exercise stress test, in patients who may have lung surgery. Researchers want to find out if the 6-minute walk test is as good as the exercise stress test at predicting possible complications that may occur after lung surgery.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Six-Minute Walk Test
- description
- Two Six-minute walk tests where total distance walked measured. Tests performed within 15 days of an exercise stress test.
- interventionNames
- Other: Six-Minute Walk Test
- Other: Exercise stress test
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Correlation of pre-operative six-minute walk test results with that of the gold standard exercise test
- timeFrame
- Up to 15 days to complete 3 tests (two six-minute walk tests and a stress test)
- description
- Results used to correlate the pre-operative six-minute walk test results with that of the gold standard exercise test (stress test) through analysis of gas exchange and measurement of oxygen uptake \[oxygen volume (VO2)\]. For the six-minute walk tests, recorded parameters are distance walked and pulse oximetry saturation percentage levels, and for gold standard exercise test, recorded are the gas exchange and measurement of oxygen uptake (VO2, ml/kg/min). Equivalence test performed to establish that the new test (six-minute walk) is comparable to the gold standard test (the VO2 peak) with an acceptable decreased sensitivity.
