Brief summary

Our specific aims are to investigate whether conservative (≤30%), intermediate (50%), or liberal (80%) inspired oxygen during and immediately after surgery: Aim 1: Reduces surgical site infections (SSIs or "wound infections") and other healthcare-associated infections (pneumonia and sepsis). Aim 2: Reduces a pooled composite of serious postoperative complications, leading to a faster and more complete recovery after surgery, and thus increases "days alive and at home up to 30 days after surgery" (DAH30). Primary hypothesis: Liberal (80%) oxygen concentration delivered with anesthesia in patients undergoing major surgery reduces the incidence of SSIs after surgery compared to conservative (≤30%) or intermediate (50%) oxygen concentration. Secondary hypothesis: Hyperoxia (50-80%) delivered with anesthesia in patients undergoing major surgery increases the incidence of pulmonary and other complications after surgery compared to conservative (≤30%) oxygen concentration, resulting in fewer Days At Home (DAH). PROMPT enrolls patients undergoing elective or semi-elective surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Surgical Site Infection30 daysA post operative infection that develops at the site of an operation, caused by bacteria entering the body through the surgical incision

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Health Care Associated Infections30 dayspneumonia, blood stream infection and urinary tract infection
Quality of recovery3 and 30 days after surgeryQuality of the individual's recovery post surgery - PROM. The scores of all 15 questions, with each item rated on a scale that results in a total score ranging from 0 (very poor recovery) to 150 (excellent recovery)
major postoperative complications30 daysDescription: A composite (and individually): Cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, arterial or venous thrombosis, stroke, acute pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, new cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment) Sepsis or septic shock (defined according to the Sepsis-3 definition)25 Respiratory complications - (i) pneumonia using US Centers for Disease Control criteria, (ii) Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome using Berlin consensus definition, or (iii) the need for tracheal re-intubation and mechanical ventilation after extubation, and within 30 days after surgery OR mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h after surgery26 Unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission or readmission, defined as not anticipated preoperatively Acute kidney injury (based on the serum creatinine item of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome criteria) Need for surgical re-intervention within 30 days after surgery Death within 30 days after surgery. Time Frame: 30 days
Mortality30 daysAll cause
EQ-5D-5L30 daysQuality of life (EQ-5D-5L) at 30 days after index surgery. The resulting EQ-5D index score is a numerical value, with 1 representing full health, and scores less than 1 representing poorer health states, including negative values that indicate health states worse than death.
DAH 3030 daysDays alive and at home at 30 days (DAH30) after index surgery (reflecting the patient's primary aim of a healthy recovery, reduced hospital costs and the impact/severity of serious complications, and avoiding re-admission (often due to SSI).
