Conditions

Gynecologic Surgery, High-flow Nasal Cannula, Post-operative Pulmonary Complications

Brief summary

Patients at high risk of post-operative pulmonary complications (PPC) will be screened out from gynecological tumor patients undergoing surgical treatment, and randomly assigned into the HFNC group and control group, which uses conventional nasal cannula oxygen therapy. The primary outcome is the incidence of PPC, including postoperative hypoxemia, atelectasis, pneumonia, etc. Secondary outcomes are the improvement of postoperative oxygenation, antibiotic use, length of hospital stay, adverse events related to oxygen therapy, etc.

Detailed description

This randomized con aims to enroll patients at high risk of developing post-operative pulmonary complications after gynecological surgery, the eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive oxygen therapy via high-flow nasal cannula or conventional nasal cannula. The study primary outcome is the incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications, including postoperative hypoxemia, atelectasis, pneumonia, etc. Secondary outcomes are the improvement of postoperative oxygenation, antibiotic use, length of hospital stay, adverse events related to oxygen therapy, etc.

Interventions

DEVICEheated humidified high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy, HFNC

HFNC can accurately provide 21% \ 100% oxygen concentration through air oxygen mixer. And through the heating and humidification device to provide 37℃, relative humidity of 100% gas, the maximum flow of 70L/min.

Nasal cannula oxygen has become a routine part of postoperative treatment
