Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) after gastroduodenal operation.
METHODSFrom December 1999 to December 2003, clinical data of 508 patients undergoing gastroduodenal operation were analyzed retrospectively. Risk factors for PPC were screened.
RESULTSThe complication rate of PPC was 25.8% (131/508). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR=1.052), history of respiratory diseases (OR=2.915), serum albumin level (OR=0.995), length of intratracheal intubation (OR=1.005), length of nasogastric intubation (OR=1.059) and length of postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR=1.367) were risk factors for PPC.
CONCLUSIONPatients with old age, lower serum albumin level, intraoperative or postoperative nasogastric intubation, intratracheal intubation or long-term mechanical ventilation were more prone to develop PPC.
