Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation has been advocated by a wide range of surgeries. Many studies show the clinical values of pulmonary rehabilitation, which could be applied before surgery and also in the period of post-surgery. Appropriate pulmonary rehabilitation can improve individuals› exercise tolerance, hospital admission period, and overall medical stability. Those who received pulmonary rehabilitation after major surgery were shown to gain increase in walking endurance and peak exercise capacity, and also decrease in dyspnoea and fatigue. We imply that pulmonary rehabilitation must be applied during hospitalization. Spirometric maneuvers like IRV, VC, and PEFR and their measurement has become an easier and more efficient tool in preventing postoperative lung complications in patients undergoing anesthesia.
