The purpose of this descriptive correlational study was to describe the relationships between risk factors and the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) following total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). As part of a large, prospective study, data were analyzed on a subset of women who had undergone TAH. Data collection included a preoperative interview and chest exam followed by a daily postoperative interview, chest exam, and review of the medical chart. A multicriteria definition of PPC was used for atelectasis/pneumonia. This study describes the incidence of PPCs in a TAH surgical population and provides foundational work to begin identifying important risk factors to guide pulmonary care.
这项描述性相关性研究的目的是描述全腹子宫切除术后（TAH）风险因素与术后肺部并发症（PPC）发生之间的关系。作为一项大型前瞻性研究的一部分，对接受TAH的女性亚组数据进行了分析。数据收集包括术前访谈和胸部检查，随后是术后每日访谈、胸部检查以及病历审查。对肺不张/肺炎采用了PPC的多标准定义。本研究描述了TAH手术人群中PPC的发生率，并为开始识别重要风险因素以指导肺部护理提供了基础工作。
