Postoperative ARDS in general surgery is associated with intraoperative factors including median drive pressure, fraction of inspired oxygen, crystalloid volume, and transfusion.
ARDS is a rare condition postoperatively in the general surgical population and is exceptionally uncommon in low American Society of Anesthesiologists status patients undergoing scheduled surgery. Analysis after matching suggests that ARDS development is associated with median drive pressure, fraction inspired oxygen, crystalloid volume, and transfusion.
