There is a connection between frequent smoking and increased risk of PPC [12], and a level of >20 pack-years (1 pack-year = 1 package a day for 1 year) has been suggested to imply a higher risk of PPC [15].…”

“…Obstructive pulmonary disorders affect the respiratory system by causing inflammation in the airways, mucus hypersecretion and bronchospasm [4]. The airway obstruction includes both reversible factors, such as inflammation, bronchospasm or mucus plugging, and irreversible factors, such as fibrotic airway walls or damaged alveoli [4].…”

“…The airway obstruction includes both reversible factors, such as inflammation, bronchospasm or mucus plugging, and irreversible factors, such as fibrotic airway walls or damaged alveoli [4]. Patients suffering from active obstructive diseases are, therefore, at a high risk of developing PPC after major surgery [13].…”

“…Different manual treatment methods, including percussion, clapping, vibrations and shaking, have been, and in some parts of the world still are, common [3,4].
