ClinConnect Summary

Lung-protective intraoperative ventilation (LPV) has the potential to improve the outcome of surgery patients through a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications. Use of intraoperative ventilation strategies that use a low tidal volume could result in intraoperative hypercapnia. However, hypocapnia remains surprisingly common during intraoperative ventilation, possibly meaning that anesthesiologists continue to use high, if not too high respiratory rates or tidal volumes.

Previous studies suggested associations between intraoperative derangement of end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO2)...

Eligibility criteria

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Planned for major (abdominal) surgery.
  • At risk for postoperative pulmonary complications.
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Planned thoracic surgery or neurosurgery.
  • Unscheduled surgery (i.e., urgent, or emergent surgeries) were excluded because these patients may have had metabolic abnormalities at the moment of surgery, i.e., metabolic acidosis, for which the anesthesiologist may have adjusted the intraoperative ventilator settings. This may have led to a 'compensatory' low etCO2.
  • Patients with etCO2 recordings are missing from the study databases.
