Postoperative Pulmonary Complications
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a common outcome of cardiothoracic surgery. When allowed to progress, PPCs can result in serious sequelae, such as respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, acute lung injury, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. The prevention of PPCs requires a comprehensive approach that includes assessment of preoperative risk, smoking cessation, and attent...
متن کاملPostoperative Pulmonary Complications
The literature dealing with the case incidence of pulmonary complications occurring after operation reveals a wide range in the reported data. For example, Cutler and Scott' collected 41,368 operative cases, from the records of eight dinics, with an incidence of 1.12 per cent of postoperative pneumonia. Many other reported series approximate this percentage. On the other hand, in 1930, Fuller,2...

tween July 1991 and March 1994 and who underwent lung resection. The predicted postoperative FEVi and FVC were calculated based on the number of segments resected and were compared with the actual postoper¬ ative FEVi and FVC. Setting: This study was conducted at a university, tertiary referral hospital. Patients: All patients were evaluated at a multidisci¬ plinary lung cancer clinic and under...
متن کاملIs not high-inspired oxygen fraction really a risk for postoperative pulmonary complications in obese patients?
To the Editor: In their randomized controlled trial that evaluated the effects of inspiratory oxygen fractions on surgical site infection and postoperative pulmonary complications in obese patients undergoing laparotomy, Staehr et al. reported that administration of 80% oxygen compared with 30% oxygen during and for 2 h after surgery did not result in a significant difference in risk of postope...
متن کاملAssessing and modifying the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.
Preoperative pulmonary evaluation and preparation involve first identifying patients at risk for complications and then attempting to modify that risk. For most patients without underlying lung disease, a thorough history and physical examination and preoperative instruction in the use of incentive spirometry is sufficient. In patients with known or suspected lung disease, preoperative pulmonar...
