ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The World Health Organization recommends hyperoxia (80% fraction of inspired oxygen, FiO2) during and for 2-6 hours following surgery to reduce surgical site infection (SSI). However, some studies suggest increased cardiovascular complications with such a high perioperative FiO2. The goal of our study was to compare the appearance of cardiovascular complications in elective adult colorectal surgery comparing the use of FiO2>0.8 versus conventional therapy (FiO2<0.4).METHODS:
We performed a randomized controlled trial in intubated patients undergoing elective major colorectal surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive perioperative FiO2>0.8 or FiO2<0.4. The primary outcome, expressed as Odds Ratio (OR) ±95% Confidence Interval (95%CI), was the incidence of MINS (myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery evaluated for the first 4 postoperative days). Secondary outcomes included MACCE (major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events) up to 30 postoperative days, SSI, other postoperative complications (according to Clavien-Dindo classification) and length of stay.RESULTS:
We included in the final analyses 403 patients. Comparing the FiO2>0.8 and FiO2<0.4 groups, there was no difference in the appearance of MINS (6.0% vs. 10.4%; OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.26-1.14; P=0.945). There were no differences between the groups for important secondary outcomes including MACCE to 30 days, SSI, postoperative complications or length of stay.CONCLUSIONS:
Perioperative hyperoxia therapy (FiO2>0.8) with the aim of decreasing SSI did not increase cardiovascular complications after elective colorectal surgery in a general population.
