    • Is atelectasis related to the development of postoperative pneumonia? a retrospective single center study
    Authors: Eunji, Ko; Kyung Yeon, Yoo; Choon Hak, Lim;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Among patients undergoing elective non-cardiothoracic surgery, patients with postoperative atelectasis were associated with a 2.33-fold higher incidence of pneumonia and a longer LOS than those without atelectasis. This finding alerts the need for careful management of perioperative atelectasis to prevent or reduce the adverse events including pneumonia and the burden of hospitalizations.
