Abstract

Cardiac arrest secondary to postoperative pulmonary complications is the second most frequent cause of mortality, and they are often underestimated. A review of the literature was made. We describe the main risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications, the diagnosis and initial management of the main pulmonary complications such as hypoxemia, hypercapnia, laryn-gospasm, bronchospasm, bronchoaspiration and residual neuromuscular relaxation. El paro cardiaco perioperatorio secundario a complicaciones pulmonares transoperatorias es la segunda causa de mortalidad, y con frecuencia son subestimada. Se hizo una revision de la litera-tura, donde describimos los principales de factores de riesgo de complicaciones postoperatorias pulmonares, el diagnostico y el manejo inicial de las principales complicaciones pulmonares como hipoxemia, hipercapnia, laringoespasmo, broncoespasmo, broncoaspiración y relajación neu-romuscular residual como causa de complicaciones pulmonares transoperatorias.
