Key result
Pre-operative ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide were significantly associated with any postoperative complication after scheduled transthoracic oesophagectomy (OR 1.088; 95% CI 1.02-1.17).
Why the study?
Are pre-operative variables from cardiopulmonary exercise testing associated with complications, survival, and length of stay after scheduled transthoracic oesophagectomy in adults?
Population
273 adults undergoing scheduled transthoracic oesophagectomy

Pre-operative cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables, specifically ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide and FEV1, are associated with postoperative complications after oesophagectomy.
Sinclair et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Scheduled transthoracic oesophagectomy (n=273). Pre-operative ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide was evaluated on Any postoperative complication (OR 1.088, 95% CI 1.02-1.17, p=0.018). Pre-operative ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide were significantly associated with any postoperative complication after scheduled transthoracic oesophagectomy (OR 1.088; 95% CI 1.02-1.17).
