Nineteen patients on whom pneumonectomy was performed because of bronchial cancer were investigated preoperatively with spirometry and 133Xe-radiospirometry. Postoperative lung function was predicted from these examinations. One month to one year postoperation the patients were reinvestigated with spirometry and arterial blood gas analyses and the obtained values were compared with the preoperative values. The prediction of postoperative VC and FEV1.0 was found satisfactory for clinical purposes, ie about as good as that obtained by previous authors using bronchospirometry.
