Abstract
Introduction: Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPCs) reported after lung surgeries are correlated with increased morbidity and mortality. Literature does not emphasize factors that lead to PPCs. Aim of this study was to evaluate clinical data in patients who developed PPCs after lung surgery. Material and method: This study included data analyses from patients with malignancy aged <79, ASA I-III scheduled for lung surgery was during 3-year period. Obtained patient data was divided in two groups, Group PPCs (n=30)- patient with PPC and control group (n=30) that included patients without PPC. Demographic, clinical preoperative and preoperative data was analyzed, compared between both groups. Results: Patients in Group PPC were significantly older than the control group. Patients in the analyzed group had more comorbidities, lower levels of FEV1%, FVC% even though not statistically significant. The time of one lung ventilation was 132+ 54.3 vs 109.9+42 in respect to the groups and was statistically significantly different between the groups. The most common PPCs found was pneumonia. Conclusion: According to our study patients who are at risk to develop PPCs are patients who are older and who had longer time of one lung ventilation during surgery The most common PPC after lung surgery is pneumonia.
