To review the multifactorial etiology, clinical risk factors, and perioperative preventive strategies associated with postoperative pulmonary complications.
Synthesized literature on patient-related and surgery-related determinants of postoperative pulmonary morbidity.
Evaluated interventions across preoperative optimization, intraoperative mechanical ventilation, and postoperative respiratory care.
Preoperative risk assessment coupled with smoking cessation, respiratory muscle training, and bronchodilators mitigates baseline pulmonary vulnerability.
Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation—utilizing low tidal volumes, positive end-expiratory pressure, and recruitment maneuvers—reduces pulmonary injury.
Postoperative management incorporating early mobilization, incentive spirometry, and pulmonary rehabilitation prevents atelectasis and improves clinical outcomes.
