This chapter describes the anaesthetic management of the patient with respiratory disease. It describes the assessment of respiratory function and preoperative respiratory investigations, and ventilatory strategies to reduce pulmonary complications. Common respiratory conditions covered include respiratory tract infection, smoking, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, obstructive sleep apnoea, sarcoidosis, restrictive pulmonary disease, and the patient with a transplanted lung. For each topic, preoperative investigation and optimization, treatment, and anaesthetic management are described. Recommendations for the patient who may require post-operative respiratory support (e.g. non-invasive ventilation) are provided.
