Özet

Background: Cough is a protective mechanism providing bronchial drainage and helps to protect secretion retention in postoperative patients. Although laparoscopic bariatric surgery significantly decreases postoperative respiratory complications, there is an increase in patients with abnormal pulmonary function test results. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative pulmonary function testing (PFT) variables and cough effectiveness early after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
