Abstract
CPET is considered the gold standard for the evaluation of cardiopulmonary reserves. This technology is increasingly becoming available to hospitals undertaking major surgery. Although CPET has been traditionally used as a risk evaluation and risk stratification tool in the pre-op period, it is now being used to inform exercise prescriptions as a part of multimodal prehabilitation programs. These programs are designed to optimize the patient芒�?�?s condition prior to commencing surgery, and are in contrast to rehabilitation, which is undertaken after the insult of surgery. This is an innovative approach to the use of exercise in these patients and has special appeal in the care of the elderly, sedentary patient presenting for major cancer surgery. This presentation will attempt to explain the principles of CPET to physiotherapists who are not familiar with the test. Also, the audience will be given a review of the current literature and recommendations on how to perform prehabilitation in these patients in order to improve their surgical outcomes.Biography
