Summary

Postoperative pulmonary complication represent asignificant source of morbidity and have greater incidence and costs than cardiac complications alone .Atelectasis is the commonest one. Aelectasis may develop in nearly up to 90% of patients after general anaesthesia ,persist up to several days .Oxygen therapy is usually given in the postoperative period to alleviate hypoxemia. However it's usually discontinued before discharge to the ward based on clinical criteria such as patients being awake with normal vital signs and no respiratory distress. Available literatures suggest that it's not valid . Pulse oximetry provide accurate objective measurement of oxygenation,continuous and non invasive.Recently, Fernando etal 2017,used pulse oximetry after 5 minutes of oxygenation to detect postoperative atelectasis, the cut point was 96%.
