AB Pneumonia  and  respiratory  failure  requiring  prolonged  mechanical  ventilation  are  the  most  important  postoperative  pulmonary  complications.  The  occurrence  of  these  complications  has  been  associated  with  a  significant  increase  in  mortality  and  hospital  length  of  stay.  Pulmonary  thromboembolism  is  another  serious  complication;  prophylaxis  against  venous  thromboembolic  disease  is  detailed  in  Table  14–14.
