Postoperative pneumonia is a common complication of surgery, and is associated with marked morbidity and mortality. Despite advances in surgical and anesthetic technique, it persists as a frequent postoperative complication. Many studies have aimed to assess its burden, as well as associated risk factors. However, this complication varies among the different surgical specialties, and there is a paucity of reports that comprehensively evaluate this complication. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review the epidemiology and risk factors of postoperative pneumonia in the setting of: 1) general surgery; 2) cardiothoracic surgery; 3) orthopedic and spine surgery; and 4) head and neck surgery.
术后肺炎是手术常见的并发症，与显著的发病率和死亡率相关。尽管手术和麻醉技术有所进步，但它仍然是常见的术后并发症。许多研究旨在评估其负担以及相关危险因素。然而，这种并发症在不同外科专科之间存在差异，且缺乏全面评估该并发症的报告。因此，本研究的目的是回顾以下情况下术后肺炎的流行病学和危险因素：1）普通外科；2）心胸外科；3）骨科和脊柱外科；4）头颈外科。
