Description
Summary:Abstract BackgroundThe surgical literature debates about whether an average intraoperative fractional inspired level of oxygen (FiO2 ObjectivesTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study examining the relationship between intraoperative FiO2 MethodsThe authors retrospectively reviewed the complication profiles of 309 patients who underwent prepectoral 2-stage breast reconstruction following mastectomy between 2018 and 2021 at a single institution. Two cohorts were created based on whether intraoperative FiO2 ResultsChi-squared and multivariable regression analysis demonstrated no significant difference between cohorts in complication rates other than reoperation. Reoperation rates were significantly increased in the FiO2PP ConclusionsComplication rates did not statistically differ in patients with varying intraoperative FiO2 Level of Evidence: 3
