Summary
Respiratory complications represent the second most frequent type of postoperative
complications with an incidence estimated to range from 2.0% to 7.9%
It has been shown that intra-operative protective ventilation is associated with a reduced
risk of respiratory complications. The effects of intra-operative inspiratory oxygen fraction
(FiO2) remain to be investigated.
In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the association between intra-operative
FiO2 and respiratory complication as well as surgical site infection and ICU admission in
patients undergoing non-cardiothoracic surgery. The investigators primary hypothesis is that
high intra-operative FiO2 increases the risk of postoperative respiratory complications
independent of predefined risk factors.
