Factores de riesgo de complicaciones respiratorias en cirugía oncológica de mama con anestesia total intravenosa

Abstract

A prospective longitudinal cohort study was performed in patients with breast cancer operated surgically with the use of total intravenous anesthesia in the provincial hospital Carlos Manuel de Céspedes de Bayamo, from the Cauto region during the period from January 1 from 2014 to December 31, 2016, with the aim of identifying the risk factors hypothetically related to the appearance of respiratory complications. It was established that the exposed cohort was constituted by 79 patients who developed complications during the study period and met the inclusion criteria. The diagnosis of respiratory complications was made during the entire surgical procedure and finished. The magnitude of the associations was estimated by calculating the relative risks (RR) of complications. The age of the patient equal to or greater than 65 years, and smoking were the surgical risk factors depending on the patient related to the onset of respiratory complications in breast cancer surgery with total intravenous anesthesia, not alcoholism. Anemia, obesity, low weight and recent respiratory tract infection were surgical risk factors dependent on associated diseases related to the appearance of respiratory complications. The ASA III-IV classification and the surgical time of more than three hours were surgical risk factors related to surgery related to the appearance of respiratory complications.
