Cough threshold after upper abdominal surgery.
The effect of upper abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia on the cough threshold was studied in 26 patients, on the basis of the concentrations of capsaicin and citric acid causing cough. Cough threshold was determined after administering doubling doses of nebulised aerosols of capsaicin and citric acid before operation and on the first and fourth postoperative days. There was an increase...
متن کاملOropharyngeal flora and chest infection after upper abdominal surgery.
The oropharyngeal flora was determined before and after operation in 127 patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. Swabs of the oropharynx were obtained on the day before operation and on the first, third, and fifth postoperative days. Isolation of Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and coliforms was noted. In the 108 patients with the full series of throat swabs the incidence...
متن کاملInfluence of Upper Abdominal Surgery and Lower Abdominal Surgery on Early Postoperative Hypoxemia in Adults Undergoing Elective Surgery-A Comparative Study
Background: Postoperative hypoxemia is common complication in early postoperative period. Upper abdominal surgery significantly impairs the respiratory mechanics for ventilation resulting in hypoxemia. Aim and Objectives: To observe the incidence, severity and duration of early postoperative hypoxemia in adults undergoing elective upper and lower abdominal surgeries. Material and Methods: This ...
متن کاملPrediction of hypoxemia after lung resection surgery.
Pulmonary resection under general anesthesia induces various degrees of hypoxemia that adversely impacts on postoperative recovery. Consecutive of 53 patients undergoing anatomical pulmonary resection were enrolled in this study to accurately define predictors of postoperative hypoxemia. Preoperative variables studied included spirometric variables, blood gases, and extent of low attenuation ar...
متن کاملAutomatic CPAP compared with conventional treatment for episodic hypoxemia and sleep disturbance after major abdominal surgery.
BACKGROUND After major surgery, analgesia with opioids can cause obstructive apnea and intermittent hypoxemia, probably from loss of upper airway control. Since this resembles the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, we tested the possibility that nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) would reduce episodes of reduced oxygen saturation and sleep disruption. Because oxygen therapy is fre...
