Beschreibung: BackgroundVentilation as a function of elimination of CO2 during incremental exercise (VE/VCO2 slope) has been shown to be a valuable predictor of complications and death after major non-cardiac surgery. VE/VCO2 slope and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) are both affected by ventilation/perfusion mismatch, but research on the utility of PetCO2 for risk stratification in major abdominal surgery is limited. AimWe aimed to determine the correlation between VE/VCO2 slope and PetCO2 measured during preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and its association with major cardiopulmonary complications (MCPCs) or death following oesophageal and other major abdominal cancer surgeries. MethodIn a retrospective cohort of 116 patients undergoing preoperative CPET 2008-2023, VE/VCO2 slope and PetCO2 (kPa) were recorded. The main outcome was MCPC during hospitalisation or death <= 90 days of surgery. We determined threshold values for each measure, corresponding to 90% specificity, using receiver operating characteristics analysis. ResultsA strong negative correlation was found between PetCO2 after a 5-minute warm-up and VE/VCO2 slope (Pearson r = -.88). In oesophagus cancer, VE/VCO2 slope >38 and PetCO2 < 4.1 kPa (30.8 mmHg) were both significant thresholds for the main outcome. For other major abdominal surgery patients, threshold analyses were non-significant. The area under the curve to predict outcome was similar using VE/VCO2 slope (0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.51-0.89) as compared to PetCO2 (0.71, 0.53-0-90). ConclusionBoth preoperative VE/VCO2 slope and PetCO2 could identify subjects with a very high risk of complications following oesophageal resection, with similar prognostic utility. PetCO2 can be measured with simpler equipment and could therefore be useful when CPET is not available.
