Abstract
Pulmonary complications are common after coronary artery bypass grafting. I dentifying those individuals with increased risk of respiratory complicatio ns allows for appropriate preoperative intervention. The most commonly seen pulmonary complications include pleural effusion, hemothorax, atelectasis, pulmonary edema, diaphragmatic dysfunction, and pneumonia. Clinical featur es and appropriate management of these common problems are discussed. Curr Opin Cardiol 2000, 15:309-315 (C) 2000 Lippincoti Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
