Postoperative Hypoxemia Increases the Risk of Anastomotic Leak After Radical Esophagectomy
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This study aims to determine whether postoperative hypoxia (arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂)\<80 mmHg) is an independent risk factor for anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy. The investigators conducted a retrospective analysis of cases from their center over the past five years, stratifying patients into Low Pa0₂ Group and Normal Pa0₂ Group based on postoperative oxygen levels and comparing the incidence of anastomotic leakage between the groups. The goal is to establish whether hypoxia is a causative risk factor and whether correcting it can reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Esophageal Anastomotic Leakage Rate — From the date of surgery to 30 days postoperatively
Anastomotic leak was confirmed by either barium swallow study, CT scan, or endoscopy, or was clinically considered in cases with obvious salivary secretion from the cervical anastomosis. The esophageal anastomotic leakage rate was calculated as (the number of patients with a confirmed anastomotic leakage / the total number of patients who underwent esophagectomy) × 100%.
