Explanation of Condition
Damage to the lungs, most commonly seen after long-term smoking, but also in relation to industrial exposures and some inherited conditions. The lung tissues are replace by large cavities, or bullae, and the lungs lose their elasticity. As a result, breathing becomes more and more difficult, and affected individuals become increasingly limited in their activities. Lung infections become more common, and are the leading cause of death.
Justification for guidance
General anesthesia induces a significantly increased risk for postoperative pulmonary morbidity
Pseudonyms or Related Conditions
Emphysema
Chronic obstructive airways disease (COAD)
COPD
