TL;DR: Values below this suggest that further studies, such as split func-tion assessment by quantitative lung scintigraphy and exercisetesting, are warranted, and that all elective surgery Prophylaxis against deep venous throm-bosis should be given before most procedures that will require postoperative bed rest or significantly reduce mobility.

Bacterial infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : a study of stable and exacerbated outpatients using the protected specimen brush
TL;DR: The lower airways of asymptomatic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients can be colonized by bacteria, mainly Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis, but the role of lower airway bacteria in stable and exacerbated COPD has not been well defined.
