  • Title: [Anesthesia in concomitant bronchopulmonary diseases].
    Author: Geiger K, Bethke U.
    Journal: Anasth Intensivther Notfallmed; 1982 Sep; 17(5):264-8. PubMed ID: 6816085.
    Abstract:
    The goal of any anaesthesiologist delivering anaesthesia to patients with pre-existing lung disease has to be the prevention of intra- and postoperative complications. Changes in gas exchange imposed by anaesthesia and surgery can cause dangerous disturbances in oxygen transport and in acid-base balance. Uptake and elimination of volatile and gaseous anaesthetics depend upon normal respiratory function. Any marked impairment can considerably modify the kinetics of these processes.
