Indications for preoperative pulmonary function testing
Clin Chest Med.
1993 Jun.
Abstract
Atelectasis, hypoxemia, pneumonia, and respiratory failure are pulmonary complications that can follow surgical procedures. This article discusses controversies surrounding the use of preoperative pulmonary function testing to identify high-risk surgical candidates. Physiologic assessments based upon the nature of the contemplated procedure are recommended.
