Assessment of patients who have been consulted preoperatively by chest diseases clinic in terms of pulmonary risk factors retrospectively [Ameliyat öncesi göʇüs hastaliklari kliniʇi tarafindan konsülte edilen hastalarin retrospektif olarak pulmoner risk faktörleri açisindan deʇerlendirilmesi]

Objective: the aim of this study is to investigate which risk factors are more determinative in anaesthesia risks of patients who have been requested chest diseases consultations. method: the notes taken during the preoperative anaesthesia visits of 60 patients who were previously diagnosed with pulmonaiy disease and for whom chest diseases consultations are requested due to productive cough and phlegm compliant and detected pathology in their pa chest x-rays were reviewed retrospectively,and were examined in terms of the most influencing risk factors. results: no statistically significant effect of age,gender,duration of surgery,smoking history,wheezing,breath shortness,biomass exposure and associated disease history was seen on the risk of anesthesia (p>0.05). parameters statistically increasing the probability of high risk such as cough,phlegm,pathology in pa chest x-ray and physical examination,platelet level,fev1 level being less than 70%,fev1ifvc being less than 65% and peripheral oxygen saturation measurements were added to the regression model as risk factors. it was observed that according to the forward looking stepwise elimination method,the most determinative risk factor in the estimation of the preoperative pulmonary risk was observed to be fev1 level being lower than 70%; which was followed by the complaints of cough as the second most determinative risk factor. conclusion: it is concluded that spirometric tests have been prioritised over other risk factors in determining the preoperative pulmonaiy risks.
