    This review identifies common causes of postoperative pulmonary complications, focusing on obstruction, hypoxemia, and hypoventilation. Understanding these interconnected issues and at-risk patients is key for effective treatment priorities.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
    • Identifying common causes and risk factors for PPCs is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present the most common causes of postoperative pulmonary complications.
    • To categorize these causes into obstruction, hypoxemia, and hypoventilation.
    • To identify at-risk patients and outline treatment priorities.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and synthesis of common causes of PPCs.
    • Categorization of causes into obstruction, hypoxemia, and hypoventilation.
    • Identification of patient risk factors and treatment strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Common causes within obstruction, hypoxemia, and hypoventilation categories were identified.
    • Specific patient populations at increased risk for PPCs were highlighted.
    • Treatment priorities for managing PPCs were established.

    Conclusions:

    • Postoperative pulmonary complications stem from identifiable causes related to obstruction, hypoxemia, and hypoventilation.
    • These categories are often interconnected, with one condition frequently suggesting another.
    • Risk stratification and timely intervention are essential for mitigating PPCs.
