    PurposeEarly discontinuation of postoperative oxygen support (POS) would partially depend on the innate pulmonary physics. We aimed to examine if the initial driving pressure (dP) at the induction of general anesthesia (GA) predicted POS prolongation.MethodsWe conducted a single-center retrospective study using the facility's database. Consecutive subjects over 2 years were studied to determine the change in odds ratio (OR) for POS prolongation of different dP classes at GA induction. The dP (cmH2O) was calculated as the ratio of tidal volume (mL) over dynamic Crs (mL/cmH2O) regardless of the respiratory mode. The adjusted OR was calculated using the logistic regression model of multivariate analysis. Moreover, we performed a secondary subgroup analysis of age and the duration of GA.ResultsWe included 5,607 miscellaneous subjects. Old age, high scores of American Society of Anesthesiologist physical status, initial dP, and long GA duration were associated with prolonged POS. The dP at the induction of GA (7.78 [6.48, 9.45] in median [interquartile range]) was categorized into five classes. With the dP group of 6.5-8.3 cmH2O as the reference, high dPs of 10.3-13 cmH2O and ≥ 13 cmH2O were associated with significant prolongation of POS (adjusted OR, 1.62 [1.19, 2.20], p = 0.002 and 1.92 [1.20, 3.05], p = 0.006, respectively). The subgroup analysis revealed that the OR for prolonged POS of high dPs disappeared in the aged and ≥ 6 h anesthesia time subgroup.ConclusionsHigh initial dPs ≥ 10 cmH2O at GA induction predicted longer POS than those of approximately 7 cmH2O. High initial dPs were, however, a secondary factor for prolongation of postoperative hypoxemia in old age and prolonged surgery.© 2022. The Author(s).
