A total of 350 patients undergoing elective hip surgery were retrospectively studied as regards pulmonary complications. The study is based on the findings of pre- and postoperative chest X-rays and of pulmonary perfusion scintigrams. Twenty-seven per cent of the patients had pulmonary complications of some kind. Twelve per cent had a change in the postoperative as compared to the preoperative X-ray, though most of the changes were minute. In 15.4 per cent there were scintigraphic signs of pulmonary embolism and of these 30 per cent of the patients had symptoms of pulmonary infectious disease. Two patients died from pulmonary embolism. The study shows a low frequency of serious pulmonary complications after elective hip surgery.
对350例行择期髋关节手术的患者进行了关于肺部并发症的回顾性研究。该研究基于术前和术后胸部X光片以及肺部灌注闪烁扫描的结果。27%的患者出现了某种肺部并发症。与术前X光片相比，12%的患者术后有变化，不过大多数变化都很微小。15.4%的患者有肺栓塞的闪烁扫描迹象，其中30%的患者有肺部感染疾病的症状。两名患者死于肺栓塞。该研究表明择期髋关节手术后严重肺部并发症的发生率较低。
