Sažetak
The incidence rate of pulmonary complications in the immediate postoperative period of non-cardiac surgery equals the incidence rate of cardiovascular complications. Patients undergoing surgery in the upper abdomen or any major abdominal operation are at the greatest risk. Exacerbation of chronic lung disease, respiratory failure, development of atelectasis and pneumonia are the most common and the most significant pulmonary complications in the early postoperative period. Patient's health status, preoperative preparation and the type of surgery are the factors playing the leading role in the incidence of these complications. Prolonged hospitalization, incresed treatment costs and longer recovery are additional significant issues requiring the routine introduction of procedures to reduce the incidence rate of perioperative pulmonary complications.
