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...

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.

متن کاملPostoperative pulmonary complications after laparotomy.
BACKGROUND The frequency of, and risks for, postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after laparotomy are incompletely understood. The wide-ranging incidence of PPCs in the literature reflects methodological issues including variable definitions of PPCs and varied patient populations. OBJECTIVES We sought to elucidate the incidence of PPCs after laparotomy and clarify risks for their deve...
متن کاملPulmonary postoperative complications: is there a place for anesthesia?
To the Editor: We read with a great interest the article by Canet et al. regarding pulmonary complications after surgery. The authors have evaluated the incidence of this frequent adverse event and its risk factors in more than 2,000 patients. They found that postoperative pulmonary complications occur in 5% of patients and identify several patient-related (e.g., age, low preoperative SpO2, acu...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Prediction Rule for Estimating Postoperative Pulmonary Complications
Patient- and procedure-related factors associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) have changed over the last decade. Therefore, we sought to identify independent risk factors of PPCs and to develop a clinically applicable scoring system. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 2,059 patients who received preoperative evaluations from respiratory physicians between June ...
