Abstract: The incidence from March 2003 to March 2005 of PPCs in patients who had undergone craniotomy was 25% and death occurred in 10%. Some risk factors for PPCs may be predicted such as the type of surgery performed, prolonged mechanical ventilation, a longer time in the ICU, a decreased level of consciousness, duration of surgery, and previous chronic lung disease.

“…Patients' diaphragm movements are restricted, and bronchial mucociliary activity is reduced while they are intubated. Petri et al (16) and Soga et al (17) reported in their studies that PPCs prolong the duration of patients' hospital stays and increase the rate of intensive care admission. It was reported that atelectasis is the most common postoperative pulmonary complication (18).…”

“…Respiratory infection also occurs frequently after surgery and especially after neurosurgery (9,24-27). Sogame et al (15) evaluated 236 patients who underwent elective craniotomy and identified a 25% incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, especially respiratory infections. These authors also found that postoperative pulmonary complications were a determinant for death.…”

“…Socio-demographic, preoperative and intra-operative data and postoperative pulmonary complications were extracted from medical record. Criteria for diagnosis of postoperative pulmonary complications were in the reference articles [2][3][4][5][6]. All patients who have the complications were treated based on the hospital management protocol.…”

“…Most pneumonia cases are seen during the first five days of post-operative time [2], atelectasis is the other post-operative pulmonary complication which is defined as increased work of breathing and hypoxemia). The onset of hypoxemia due to atelectasis occurs after the patient leaves post anesthesia care unit, particularly during the second post-operative night [3,4], respiratory failure defined as inability to be extubated within 48 hours of surgery [5], Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and/or bronchospasm which is common during early post-operative time and diagnosed when there is dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, tachypnea, small tidal volumes, a prolonged expiratory time, and hypercapnia are seen [6]. In facilities where there is routine radiographic screening during the postoperative period, atelectasis is the most prevalent complication [1].…”
