A2 - Levitzky, Michael A2 - McDonough, Kathleen A2 - Kaye, Alan David A2 - Hall, Stanley PY - 2021 T2 - Clinical Physiology in Anesthetic Practice 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.
