Intraoperative end-tidal carbon dioxide levels are not associated with recurrence-free survival after elective pancreatic cancer surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intraoperative end-tidal carbon dioxide concentrations (EtCO₂) values are associated with recurrence-free survival after colorectal cancer surgery. However, it is unknown if similar effects can be observed after other surgical procedures. There is now evidence available for target EtCO₂ and its relation to surgical outcomes following pancreatic cancer surgery.

Methods

In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 652 patients undergoing elective resection of pancreatic cancer at Heidelberg University Hospital between 2009 and 2016. The entire patient cohort was sorted in ascending order based on mean intraoperative EtCO₂ values and then divided into two groups: the high-EtCO₂ group and the low-EtCO2 grou
