The Impact of Intraoperative Respiratory Patterns on Morbidity and Mortality in Patients with COPD Undergoing Elective Surgery.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Surgical procedures in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients carry a high risk of postoperative respiratory failure, often causing the need for mechanical ventilation and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays. Accompanying COPD with heart failure further increases the risk of complications. This study aimed to identify predictors of mortality, prolonged ICU and hospital stays, the need for mechanical ventilation, and vasoactive drug usage in ICU patients with moderate to severe COPD undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed eICU-CRD data, including adult patients with moderate to severe COPD admitted to the ICU from the operating room following elective non-cardiac surgery.
