Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing and Pulmonary Complications after General Anesthesia
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Post-operative pulmonary complications have been discussed as to causes and preventive methods for a long time. One of these methods is intermittent positive pressure breathing(IPPB) which has been widely advocated, but there are many debates now.
We studied the relationship of post-operative pulmonary complications with patient´s age, general condition and operation site & duration of IPPB.
The results were as follows:
1. The rate of IPPB was 8.4% of general anesthetic patients.
2. The ratio of medical to surgical patients on in IPPB was 1:10.
3. We had 13 post-op. pulm. complications with prophylactic IPPB and 4 cases without IPPB.
4. The incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications increased with the patient´s age, operative time, number of class in physical status (by ASA) and increased particularly after upper abdominal surgery more than lower abdomen or other sites.
