Key result
Endovascular AAA repair significantly reduced postoperative artificial ventilation time (6 vs 21 hours, p<0.05) and morphine consumption (41 vs 133 mg, p<0.05) compared to conventional surgery.
Why the study?
Does endovascular AAA repair improve respiratory function and reduce analgesia requirements compared to conventional surgery in patients undergoing AAA repair?
Population

Endovascular repair was associated with shorter ventilation and lower morphine use; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized validation before practice change.
Cohort (n=22)
Does endovascular AAA repair improve respiratory function and reduce analgesia requirements compared to conventional surgery in patients undergoing AAA repair?
Absolute Event Rate: 6% vs 21%
p-value: p=<0.05
Endovascular AAA repair significantly improves early postoperative respiratory function and reduces morphine requirements compared to conventional open surgery.
Boyle et al. (1997) conducted a cohort in Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) (n=22). Endovascular AAA repair vs. Conventional surgery was evaluated on Postoperative artificial ventilation time (hours) (p=<0.05). Endovascular AAA repair significantly reduced postoperative artificial ventilation time (6 vs 21 hours, p<0.05) and morphine consumption (41 vs 133 mg, p<0.05) compared to conventional surgery.
