Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Identification of risk factors that might be responsible for postoperative hypoxaemia, in view of changing profile of surgical patients and better but more complex perioperative care nowadays.
METHODS: We conducted a prospective observational study that included patients aged 18-65 years, who underwent elective surgery and required general anaesthesia. Oxygen saturation was monitored before the induction in operating room and continued 72 hours post-surgery. Patients were maintained on room air if SpO
RESULTS: Out of 452 patients, 61 developed SpO
CONCLUSION: The risk of postoperative hypoxaemia was highest in patients aged 51-65 years, BMI higher than 30, current and former smokers, pre-existing respiratory disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, patients with 96% oxygen saturation or less at baseline or after shifting to PACU. The type of surgical incision, duration of surgery and dose of opioids administered were not independent risk factors.
Keywords: Postoperative hypoxaemia; oxygen therapy; respiratory complications; risk factors for perioperative hypoxaemia
