متن کاملNew concepts of atelectasis during general anaesthesia.
At the beginning of the last century, Pasteur described postoperative pulmonary atelectasis, analysed postoperative pulmonary complications (PCC; see below) and noted: `when the true history of postoperative lung complications comes to be written, active collapse of the lung, from de®ciency of inspiratory power, will be found to occupy an important position among determining causes'. Indeed, at...
متن کاملComparable postoperative pulmonary atelectasis in patients given 30% or 80% oxygen during and 2 hours after colon resection.
BACKGROUND High concentrations of inspired oxygen are associated with pulmonary atelectasis but also provide recognized advantages. Consequently, the appropriate inspired oxygen concentration for general surgical use remains controversial. The authors tested the hypothesis that atelectasis and pulmonary dysfunction on the first postoperative day are comparable in patients given 30% or 80% perio...

[Purpose] Video-assisted thoracic surgery and preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation are effective in preventing postoperative complications in patients with cardiopulmonary disease. The present study aims to elucidate the presence of postoperative pneumonia and atelectasis in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease who underwent lung resection with video-assisted thoracic surger...
متن کاملLung surgery: identifying the subgroup at risk for sputum retention.
OBJECTIVES Sputum retention after lung surgery is a potentially lethal condition, which can progress to atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory failure requiring ventilatory support. Previous studies have concentrated on the treatment of postoperative respiratory complications but few have studied the risk factors for sputum retention. This prospective study was designed to identify the risk fac...
