Impact of perioperative fluid overload on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications following lobectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of pulmonary complications following lobectomy remains substantial, with postoperative fluid volume playing a pivotal role. However, the optimal management of fluids after lobectomy remains uncertain. This study aimed to establish a benchmark for perioperative fluid overload in patients undergoing pulmonary surgery by comparing the incidence of pulmonary complications following standard surgical procedures among patients with varying fluid volumes.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted on adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent lobectomy between January 2018 and January 2019. The primary exposure variable was fluid overload within the initial 24-hour period. The observation outcomes were postoperative pulmonary c
