Abstract:
The respiratory disorder is classified into three types, "obstructive lung disease", "restrictive lung disease", and "mixed obstructive and restrictive lung disease". Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma were represented by obstructive lung disease and the number of each patients was estimated over 5 millions. These are a condition commonly presented in older people who undergoing cardiovascular surgery and confers an increased risk of postoperative complications and mortality. It is necessary to understand perioperative management of patients with COPD and bronchial asthma.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...

Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
