Restrictive Pulmonary Dysfunction May Increase Blood Loss During Liver Resection

Background Restrictive pulmonary dysfunction (RPD) is a risk factor for perioperative complications during gastrointestinal surgery. We hypothesized that high airway pressure due to RPD results in increased intraoperative blood loss during liver surgery. Thus, we investigated the effects of RPD on p...

Description
Summary:Background Restrictive pulmonary dysfunction (RPD) is a risk factor for perioperative complications during gastrointestinal surgery. We hypothesized that high airway pressure due to RPD results in increased intraoperative blood loss during liver surgery. Thus, we investigated the effects of RPD on perioperative outcomes for liver resection. Methods This study included 496 patients who underwent curative liver resection at our hospital between April 2009 and April 2020. Perioperative outcomes for the RPD and control groups were compared. Restrictive pulmonary dysfunction was defined as % vital capacity
