The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications
Patient is regarded to have postoperative pulmonary complication when 4 or more positive variables exists according to Melbourne Group Scale.
Time frame: within the first 3 days after surgery
Partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood
Time frame: during surgery
The ratio of partial pressure arterial oxygen and fraction of inspired oxygen
The ratio will be obtained from the first arterial blood gas analysis on the first postoperative day.
Time frame: on the first postoperative day
