Preoperative considerations for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a risk factor for development of intraoperative and postoperative pulmonary complications. Regarding the type and the extent of surgical procedure, patients with COPD are at risk of aggravation of pulmonary function which leads to complicated perioperative course. In order to reduce perioperative complications, preoperative evaluation and preoperative patient preparation are of great importance. Goals of preoperative preparation and anesthesia in patients with COPD are … Show more

“…The FEV 1 and DL CO are routinely measured preoperatively to predict postoperative pulmonary function, morbidity, and mortality. Most patients whose FEV 1 and DL CO are both greater than 80% predicted do not undergo further preoperative testing (255,256), whereas those whose FEV 1 or DL CO are less than 80% predicted undergo further assessment of their predicted postoperative pulmonary function (257,258). Quantitative ventilation or perfusion lung scanning predicts postoperative pulmonary function by objectively measuring the contribution of individual lung lobes (256).…”
