“…Obesity, even if it is mild, decreases lung volumes postoperatively [23, 24], and one reason for the lower IC is probably the flattened shape of the diaphragm and the mechanical pressure created by abdominal adiposity, which reduce the total space for the lungs. Atelectasis is more common in obese patients than in normal weight patients, and the time spent in the ICU and total hospital stay are longer for obese patients [23]. Thus, patients with high BMI are at increased risk of impaired pulmonary volumes after surgery.…”

“…, productive cough with purulent sputum, presence of pulmonary infiltration on chest X-ray examination, and increased leukocyte count), atelectasis with clinical implications (evidence of pulmonary atelectasis in the chest X-ray associated with respiratory discomfort), and acute respiratory failure (acute inability of the lungs to promote gas exchange, demanding the used of mechanical ventilation) [14,15].…”

“…Akdur i wsp. wykazali jedynie nieznaczny spadek wyników spirometrii po 40 dniach od operacji do badań przedoperacyjnych [34]. W badaniach własnych, wykonanych po 25-30 dniach, wartości FVC i FEV1,0 również nie odzyskały poziomu wyjściowego, natomiast średnie wartości wskaźnika Tiffeneau, PEF i MEF przekraczały wartości wyjściowe.…”
