description

Esophagectomy is often connected to postoperative pulmonary complications with a high mortality rate [1, 3,4]. From 1980 to 1985 we treated 19 patients after esophagectomy in our intensive care unit. Nine patients (47%) died of pulmonary complications. From the literature [3] and from our own observations we came to the conclusion that the first pulmonary changes start during the operative procedure.
