Analysis of risk factors for hypoxemia in PACU for patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung cancer resection based on logistic regression model.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to identify risk factors of hypoxemia in patients undergoin thoracoscopic lung surgery during their stay in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). Hypoxemia was defined as any instance of SpO₂ ≤90% lasting for more than one minute during the PACU stay.

Methods

We conducted a prospective research involving 398 patients who underwent elective thoracoscopic lung surgery in West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from April to July 2024. Patients were classified into hypoxemia and non-hypoxemia groups based on the presence of hypoxemia in the PACU. We compared clinical data between the two groups to identify factors influencing hypoxemia. Variables with statistical significance (P < 0.05) in univariate analysis were included in logistic regression to id
