Outcome following unplanned critical care admission after lung resection.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients undergoing lung resection are at risk of perioperative complications, many of which necessitate unplanned critical care unit admission in the postoperative period. We sought to characterize this population, providing an up-to-date estimate of the incidence of unplanned critical care admission, and to assess critical care and hospital stay, resource use, mortality, and outcomes.

Methods

A multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing lung resection in participating UK hospitals over 2 years. A comprehensive dataset was recorded for each critical care admission (defined as the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation and/or renal replacement therapy), in addition to a simplified dataset in all patients undergoing lung resection during
