RUANO COBAS, Eduardo et al. Respiratory complications in the immediate postoperative period in patients undergoing upper hemiabdomen surgeries. Multimed [online]. 2023, vol.27  Epub 09-Mayo-2023. ISSN 1028-4818.

Respiratory complications during the immediate postoperative period justify the anesthesiologist's interest in updated knowledge in order to reduce morbidity and mortality. In order to characterize the most frequent respiratory complications that occur in the immediate postoperative period of upper hemiabdomen surgery, an observational, descriptive case series study was conducted in 146 patients undergoing upper hemiabdomen surgery attended at the post-anesthetic care unit of the "Saturnino Lora" Teaching Clinical Surgical Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba. during January to December 2020; The data were obtained from the hospital clinical history and general clinical examination performed, which were reflected in a form prepared for this purpose. The Xi-square test (X2) and the proportions differences test were used, with a p value = 0.05 during statistical processing. Patients over 60 years of age, male and who presented smoking as toxic habits, hypertension followed by neuropathies are the most frequent; while the operative diagnoses were conventional acute cholecystitis and liver trauma. Urgent surgery, ASA II patients, and procedures lasting more than 2 hours were the most frequent. The most frequent respiratory complications found were hypoxia; followed by prolonged mechanical ventilation and atelectasis. The respiratory complications found in the immediate postoperative period of upper hemiabdomen surgery were statistically associated with the ASA classification.
