Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is a composite of PPCs in the first 5 postoperative days - Mild respiratory failure - Severe respiratory failure - Bronchospasm - Pneumonia - Aspiration pneumonitis - Atelectasis - Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) - Pleural effusion - Cardiopulmonary edema - Pneumothorax | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intraoperative complications including: - Desaturation - Hypotension - Increased need for vasoactive medications - New arrhytmias needing intervention Impaired wound healing Postoperative extrapulmonary complications - Sepsis - Septic shock - Extra-pulmonary infection - Acute renal insufficiency Impaired wound healing Intra-operative fluid strategy All cause mortality at day 5, 30 and 90 Cost-effectiveness variables - Postoperative supplementary oxygen need - Use of antibiotics for pneumonia - Need for thoracic imaging - Length of hospital stay - Need of ICU admission and corresponding lenth of ICU stay - Unplanned admission to an intenvise care unit (ICU) and lenght of stay on ICU - Length of hospital stay | — |
