AB General  anesthesia  can  have  profound  effects  on  pulmonary  function.  Some  of  these  are  direct  effects  of  anesthetic  drugs  on  the  respiratory  system;  others  result  from  associated  aspects  of  general  anesthesia  such  as  altered  body  position,  intubation,  mechanical  ventilation,  and  the  use  of  neuromuscular  blocking  agents  and  other  drugs.  Alterations  in  the  cardiovascular  system  caused  by  general  anesthesia  can  also  affect  pulmonary  function  by  changing  the  amount  and  distribution  of  pulmonary  blood  flow.
