BackgroundThe preventive role of an intraoperative recruitment maneuver plus open lung approach (RM + OLA) ventilation on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) remains unclear. We aimed at investigating whether an intraoperative open lung condition reduces the risk of developing a composite of PPCs.MethodsPost hoc analysis of two randomized controlled trials including patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Patients were classified according to the intraoperative lung condition as "open" (OL) or "non-open" (NOL) if PaO2 /FIO2 ratio was ≥ or <400 mmHg, respectively. We used a multivariable logistic regression model that included potential confounders selected with directed acyclic graphs (DAG) using Dagitty software built with variables that were considered clinically relevant based on biological mechanism or evidence from previously published data. PPCs included severe acute respiratory failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pneumonia.ResultsA total of 1480 patients were included in the final analysis, with 718 (49%) classified as OL. The rate of severe PPCs during the first seven postoperative days was 6.0% (7.9% in the NOL and 4.4% in the OL group, p = .007). OL was independently associated with a lower risk for severe PPCs during the first 7 and 30 postoperative days [odds ratio of 0.58 (95% CI 0.34-0.99, p = .04) and 0.56 (95% CI 0.34-0.94, p = .03), respectively].ConclusionsAn intraoperative open lung condition was associated with a reduced risk of developing severe PPCs in intermediate-to-high risk patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Trial RegistrationRegistered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT02158923 (iPROVE), NCT02776046 (iPROVE-O2).© 2021 Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica Foundation.
