Indications for preoperative pulmonary function testing.

J D Zibrak1, C R O'Donnell.   

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.
