Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction Postoperative pulmonary complications PPC are the main source of postoperative morbidity and mortality Chronic Obstructive pulmonary Disease COPD patients are at 3 times more risk for the development of PPCs Spirometry is commonly done as a part of preoperative evaluation Our objective is to assess role of spirometry to predict PPCs in patients with stable COPD following laparoscopic CholecystectomyMaterial and Methods This is a prospective observational study at a tertiary care centre The study was approved by institutional ethics committee 134 stable COPD patients posted for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under combined general epidural anaesthesia were included Detailed clinical history was taken physical examination was done quality of life was assessed by COPD Assessment Test CAT score chest Xray ABG ECG 2 D Echo Spirometry 6 minute walk test 6MWT were done Patients were followed up till discharge Data of was analyzed by SPSS 11Results Out of 134 patients 112 836 were males and 22 164 were females All were of more than 40yrs All patients had CAT score 10 68 males and 16 females had FEV1 Forced expiratory volume in 1 second 50 Conclusion In patients with stable COPD of known severity preoperative spirometry may not provide additional information in predicting PPC Routine spirometry and arterial blood gases are not required for preoperative pulmonary evaluation in patients with stable COPD prior to laparoscopic cholecystectomyKeywords Preoperative Spirometry Pulmonary disease Chronic obstructive Postoperative complications
