Upper abdominal surgery: does a lung function test exist to predict early severe postoperative respiratory complications?
We evaluated the capacity to predict severe respiratory complications (SRCs) following upper abdominal surgery (UAS) by using the results of a respiratory questionnaire and preoperative pulmonary function tests. Lung volumes, flows and transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TL,CO,sb) were assessed in 361 consecutive adult patients (248 males and 113 females). SRCs were diagnosed 24 h ...
متن کاملClinical assessment of peripheral perfusion to predict postoperative complications after major abdominal surgery early: a prospective observational study in adults
INTRODUCTION Altered peripheral perfusion is strongly associated with poor outcome in critically ill patients. We wanted to determine whether repeated assessments of peripheral perfusion during the days following surgery could help to early identify patients that are more likely to develop postoperative complications. METHODS Haemodynamic measurements and peripheral perfusion parameters were ...

متن کاملPostoperative pleural effusion following upper abdominal surgery.
Of 128 patients who underwent upper abdominal surgery, examined by standard preoperative and postoperative chest roentgenograms for the formation of postoperative pleural effusions, 89 had postoperative pleural effusions. Their presence was not related to the type of operation, infection, serum amylases, sex, smoking habits, or weight. There was no correlation between the localization of the pl...
