Nocturnal Hypoxemia After Lobectomy for Lung Cancer

摘要: Background Although nocturnal episodic hypoxemia after major abdominal surgery has been reported, the condition of oxygen saturation lung is largely unknown. We evaluated during perioperative period lobectomy for cancer. This study also compared postoperative course standard with posterolateral thoracotomy and video-assisted thoracic surgery. Methods Twenty-one consecutive patients who had undergone cancer by either approach (n = 11) or 10) were studied. Fifteen gastrectomy gastric Overnight was measured on third 14th days. Results The frequency in group higher than that ( p 0.043). day 0.009) severity days 0.041, 0.046) lower those approach. In terms mean arterial saturation, heart rate, forced vital capacity, expiratory volume 1 second, there no statistically significant differences between group. Conclusions Video-assisted superior early saturation. conclude more beneficial high-risk patients.
