title: Perioperative management of chronic respiratory disease.
abstract: Respiratory disease contributes significantly to the perioperative challenges of surgery. Preexisting pulmonary co-morbidities and respiratory complications can have profound effects on patient outcomes. Knowledge of these conditions and the potentially deleterious effects of anaesthesia and surgery can enable clinicians to optimise lung function, reduce complications and improve results.
