Abstract
Pulmonary complications are a major cause of peri-operative morbidity and mortality, but have been researched less thoroughly than cardiac complications. It is important to try and predict which patients are at risk of peri-operative pulmonary complications and to intervene to reduce this risk. Anaesthetists are in a unique position to do this during the whole peri-operative period. Pre-operative training, smoking cessation and lung ventilation with tidal volumes of 6-8 ml.kg(-1) and low positive end-expiratory pressure probably reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.
