Pulmonary influences on early post-operative recovery in patients after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment: a retrospective study

Table 6 Effect of pulmonary adverse events (AEs) on recovery time and parameters of62 patients

Recovery^a	Pulmonary AE				R value	P- value
	Type	Grade	Mean	95% CI
MV time, days	Atelectasis	0 to 1	2.1	1.2 to 3.1	0.35	0.02
		2 to 3	3.3	2.4 to 4.2
ICU stay, days	Atelectasis	0 to 1	2.0	1.4 to 2.5	0.38	0.03
		2 to 3	1.1	0.9 to 1.3
Total hospital stay, days	Atelectasis	0 to 1	21.1	18.0 to 24.2	0.11	0.02
		2 to 3	22.8	20.3 to 25.3
ICU stay, days	Pulmonary effusion	0	1.0	0.9 to 1.2	0.33	0.02
		2	2.0	1.3 to 2.6
PCI	Pulmonary effusion	0	19	13 to 24	0.95	0.02
ASA		1 to 2	30	23 to 36	0.28	0.02

Abbreviations ASA, American Society of Anesthesiologists; ICU, intensive care unit; MV, mechanical ventilation; PCI, Peritoneal Cancer Index.
^aTotal mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, total hospital stay, tumor burden, and ASA correlated with the occurrence of atelectasis and pleural effusion.
