Abstract

Objectives: To compare the post operative pulmonary function with the preoperative pulmonary functions in patients undergoing laparotomy. Methods: 50 patients undergoing laparotomy under general anaesthesia were tested for pulmonary functions (Forced vital capacity [FVC], Forced expiratory volume at first second [FEV 1 ], Peak expiratory flow [PEF], Forced expiratory flow at 25% to 75% [FEF 25%-75% ] and blood gas analysis (pO 2 , pCO 2 ) preoperatively and on the second postoperative day using RMS MEDSPIROR and capillary blood gas analysis. Results: There was a decrease in FVC, FEV 1 , PEF, FEF 25%-75% , pO 2 , pCO 2 to 65%, 67%, 65%, 66%, 92% and 99% of the preoperative value respectively. Conclusions: Pulmonary function is drastically reduced after laparotomy.
