The identification of risk factors and optimization of respiratory status are crucial to the successful management of patients who have pulmonary disease and are undergoing a surgical procedure. This article explores the approach to pulmonary patients, from the preoperative assessment to the intraoperative and postoperative periods. The management of specific pulmonary disorders in the perioperative period is discussed.
