Abstract

UNLABELLED: Acute lung injury (ALI) may complicate thoracic surgery and is a major contributor to postoperative mortality. We analyzed risk factors for ALI in a cohort of 879 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary resections for non-small cell lung carcinoma. Clinical, anesthetic, surgical, radiological, biochemical, and histopathologic data were prospectively collected. The total incidence of ALI was 4.2% (n = 37). In 10 cases, intercurrent complications (bronchopneumonia, n = 5; bronchopulmonary fistula, n = 2; gastric aspiration, n = 2; thromboembolism, n = 1) triggered the onset of ALI 3 to 12 days after surgery, and this was associated with a 60% mortality rate (secondary ALI). In the remaining 27 patients, no clinical adverse event preceded the development of ALI-0 to 3 days after surgery-that was associated with a 26% mortality rate (primary ALI). Four independent risk factors for primary ALI were identified: high intraoperative ventilatory pressure index (odds ratio, 3.5; 95% confidence interval, 1.7-8.4), excessive fluid infusion (odds ratio, 2.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.9-7.4), pneumonectomy (odds ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-6.3), and preoperative alcohol abuse (odds ratio, 1.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.6). In conclusion, we describe two clinical forms of post-thoracotomy ALI: 1). delayed-onset ALI triggered by intercurrent complications and 2). an early form of ALI amenable to risk-reducing strategies, including preoperative alcohol abstinence, lung-protective ventilatory modes, and limited fluid intake. IMPLICATIONS: In an observational study including all patients undergoing lung surgery, we describe two clinical forms of acute lung injury (ALI): a delayed-onset form triggered by intercurrent complications and an early form associated with preoperative alcohol consumption, pneumonectomy, high intraoperative pressure index, and excessive fluid intake over the first 24 h.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
