[Postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery. Study on the preventive use of a bronchosecretolytic agent associated with an antibiotic].
The factors leading to post-operative respiratory complications following abdominal surgery are examined. Data relating to a clinical study of laparotomised patients receiving a course of Bisolvomycin in the immediate postoperative period are presented. This treatment led to a marked fall in the incidence of complications, even in a group of subjects with chronic bronchopneumopathy. Its usefulness as systematic management for subjects about to undergo abdominal surgery is urged.
