Association of mechanical power and postoperative pulmonary complications among young children undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies have discussed the correlation between mechanical power (MP) and lung injury. However, evidence regarding the relationship between MP and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in children remains limited, specifically during one-lung ventilation (OLV).

Objectives

Propensity score matching was employed to generate low MP and high MP groups to verify the relationship between MP and PPCs. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors of PPCs in young children undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).

Design

A retrospective study.

Setting

Single-site tertiary children's hospital.

Patients

Children aged ≤2 years who underwent VATS between January 2018 and February 2023.
