Postoperative pulmonary function in obese patients after upper abdominal surgery

J Eriksen, J Andersen, J P Rasmussen

    Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica
    |January 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pulmonary function in massively obese patients undergoing jejuno-ileal bypass showed initial declines in arterial oxygen (Pao2) and forced vital capacity (FVC) within 24 hours. However, lung function largely recovered within five days post-surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Bariatric surgery outcomes
    • Pulmonary function testing
    • Obesity medicine

    Background:

    • Massively obese patients often experience respiratory complications.
    • Jejuno-ileal bypass is a bariatric surgery procedure.
    • Understanding postoperative pulmonary changes is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the pulmonary course in massively obese patients following jejuno-ileal bypass.
    • To assess changes in arterial blood gases and lung volumes post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Arterial blood gas analysis.
    • Measurement of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expired volume in the first second (FEV1.0), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR).
    • Monitoring for the first 5 postoperative days in 6 massively obese patients.

    Main Results:

    • Pao2 and FVC decreased significantly within 24 hours post-surgery but showed near-complete recovery by day 5.
    • Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) recovered to 77% of preoperative values by day 5.
    • FEV1.0 as a percentage of FVC remained stable at approximately 70% throughout the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • Jejuno-ileal bypass surgery leads to transient but significant pulmonary function impairment in massively obese patients.
    • Lung function demonstrates substantial recovery within five days, suggesting adaptability.
    • Close monitoring of respiratory parameters is recommended in the immediate postoperative period.
