Postoperative Hypoxemia Is Common and Persistent: A Prospective Blinded Observational Study.
BACKGROUND The incidence, severity, and duration of postoperative oxygen desaturation in the general surgical population are poorly characterized. We therefore used continuous pulse oximetry to quantify arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) in a cross-section of patients having noncardiac surgery. METHODS Oxygen saturation, blinded to clinicians, was recorded at 1-minute intervals in patients >45...
متن کاملManaging Persistent Hypoxemia: what is new?
Mechanical ventilation is the standard life-support technique for patients with severe acute respiratory failure. However, some patients develop persistent and refractory hypoxemia because their lungs are so severely damaged that they are unable to respond to the application of high inspired oxygen concentration and high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure. In this article, we review cur...
متن کاملPostoperative Hypoxemia and Oxygen Need in Bakers Compared with Cigarette and Water Pipe Smokers
Background: Hypoxemia is a frequent complication after general anesthesia. It usually takes longer to recover in individuals with respiratory problems. Bakers may suffer from respiratory problems such as asthma. The objective of this study was to compare the occurrence of hypoxemia and duration of supplemental oxygen administration during recovery from general anesthesia in bakers and smokers. ...
متن کاملNocturnal hypoxemia is common in primary pulmonary hypertension.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Unsuspected sleep-related respiratory events are common in patients with severe pulmonary disease. Sleep in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) has not been studied (to our knowledge). The purpose of this study was to measure the prevalence of respiratory disturbances and nocturnal hypoxemia during the sleep of patients with PPH. SETTING Tertiary-care referral h...
متن کاملSevere Pulmonary Arteriopathy Is Associated with Persistent Hypoxemia after Pulmonary Endarterectomy in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is characterized by occlusion of pulmonary arteries by organized chronic thrombi. Persistent hypoxemia and residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) following successful pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) are clinically important problems; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We have previously reported that residual PH is cl...
