In the researchers' words
This secondary analysis aims to identify factors associated with the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, pooling and analyzing the data of two worldwide prospective studies, the 'Epidemiology, Practice of Ventilation and Outcome for Patients at Increased Risk of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications' (LAS VEGAS, NCT01601223) and the 'Assessment of Ventilatory management during general AnesThesia for Robotic surgery and its effects on postoperative pulmonary complications' (AVATaR, NCT02989415). The primary aim is to compare the incidence of PPCs between patients undergoing non-robotic surgery versus patients undergoing robot-assisted surgery. One secondary aim is to determine which factors are associated with the occurrence of PPCs. The investigators hypothesize that differences in the occurrence of PPCs between the two surgery groups are more driven by differences in duration of anesthesia than by the intensity of ventilation.
