2. Fig. 1
Exercise oximetry results in 10 patients who had only exercise testing while breathing oxygen before the operation and then underwent postoperative exercise testing while breathing oxygen. Six of these patients were also tested while breathing room air after the operation. An Sao 2 of 88% is represented as a dotted line, the acceptable level qualifying for supplemental oxygen.

3. Fig. 2
Exercise oximetry results in 27 patients tested while breathing room air before and after LRS. Twenty-one patients had preoperative exertional desaturation, seven had Sao 2 increase above 88% after LRS, and two of six patients had Sao 2 decrease below 88% after LRS.
