Effects of smoking on perioperative respiratory function in elderly surgical patients

Respiratory function, flow volume curves and arterial oxgen tension were measured before and after elective upper abdominal surgery in elderly nonsmokers (n=14) and smokers (n=13). Preoperative flow volume curves, FEV1, FEV1%, did not reveal significant differences between smokers and nonsmokers. Co...

Zusammenfassung:Respiratory function, flow volume curves and arterial oxgen tension were measured before and after elective upper abdominal surgery in elderly nonsmokers (n=14) and smokers (n=13). Preoperative flow volume curves, FEV1, FEV1%, did not reveal significant differences between smokers and nonsmokers. Comparing to nonsmokers, smokers had a smaller % vital capacity (p
