Objective:To analyze the relation between surgery and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) and relation between preoperative every lung function index,artery oxygen pressure and PPC in abdominal perioperative patients. Methods:Fifty-four abdominal perioperative patients combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) admitted between September 2002 and November 2004 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chinese Medical Universtiy were divided into groups according to their ages,BMI,operation hours and operated site respectively.The incidence of PPC in each groups were compared by χ2 test.SPSS11.12 software was used for multivariate analysis between preoperative lung function,artery oxygen pressure and PPC incidence and between preoperative lung function,artery oxygen pressure and postoperative mechanical ventilation time. Results:The incidence of PPC was 55.6(30/54).The incidence of PPC had not significant difference between >70 years old group and ≤70 years old group (P>0.05).The incidence of PPC in patients with BMI ≥24 was significantly more than that in patients with BMI <24 (P<0.05).The incidence of PPC in patients with operation time ≥2h was significantly more than that in patients with operation time <2h (P<0.05).The incidence of PPC in patients performed upper abdomen operation was significantly more than that in patients performed lower abdomen operation (P<0.05).Preoperative arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and lung function were negative correlated with PPC incidence.The lung function was negative correlated with postoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) time. Conclusion:The incidence of PPC is high in the abdominal perioperative patients combined with COPD.PPC incidences in patients overweighting (BMI≥24),in patients with operation time ≥2h and in patients with upper abdominal operation are high.The worse the preoperative lung function,the higher the PPC incidence.The worse the preoperative lung function,the longer the postoperative MV time.
