Patient biomarkers may be monitored before, during, and / or after thoracic
surgery to predict complications, detect complications, track
recovery, and / or make pre-, in- and / or post-
surgery recommendations to avoid predicted complications and / or mitigate detected complications. Complications (e.g., prolonged
air leak or esophageal stricture) may be predicted based on patient parameters and / or biomarker measurements. Complications may be predicted or detected based on biomarker measurements compared to thresholds associated with a biomarker (e.g., developed from baselines) generated based on patient parameters, pre- and / or in-
surgery biomarker measurements, and / or surgical details (e.g., decrease in long capacity).
Recovery milestones may be tracked based on biomarker measurements compared to predicted biomarker measurements for
recovery stages. A recommendation (e.g., to avoid a predicted complication and / or mitigate a detected complication) may be a patient-specific selection and / or modification of more of:
surgical preparation, in-surgery procedures,
surgical instrument selection, surgical and / or post-
surgical instrument settings, post-surgery procedures, in-surgery and / or post-surgery monitoring, etc.
