AB  - Postoperative  pulmonary  complications  constitute  a  significant  cause  of  morbidity  and  mortality  following  surgery.  Managing  patients  at  risk  for  postoperative  pulmonary  problems  requires  an  understanding  of  the  predictable  changes  in  pulmonary  physiology  that  occur  with  surgery  and  anesthesia,  as  well  as  knowledge  of  factors  associated  with  development  of  postsurgical  respiratory  compromise.  Despite  the  availability  of  several  screening  tests,  a  careful  history  and  physical  examination  continue  to  be  the  cornerstone  of  preoperative  pulmonary  evaluation.  Although  a  number  of  measures  can  be  employed  before  and  after  surgery  to  minimize  the  risk  of  respiratory  complications,  close  patient  monitoring  and  early  detection  are  essential.
