Identifying Early Risk Factors for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are common in patients who undergo cardiac surgery and are widely acknowledged as significant contributors to increased morbidity, mortality rates, prolonged hospital stays, and healthcare costs. Clinical manifestations of PPCs can vary from mild to severe symptoms, with different radiological findings and varying incidence. Detecting early signs and identifying influencing factors of PPCs is essential to prevent patients from further complications. Our study aimed to determine the frequency, types, and risk factors significant for each PPC on the first postoperative day. The main goal of this study was to identify the incidence of pleural effusion (right-sided, left-sided, or bilateral), atelectasis, pulmonary
