Abstract
We hospitalists are often asked to provide perioperative risk assessments and much of our focus is on cardiovascular risk. Yet, perioperative pulmonary complications increase the length of hospital stay twice as much as cardiovascular complications; indeed, the development of postoperative pulmonary complications increases the LOS six times the duration expected for a surgical procedure.
