Risk factors for hypoxemia following surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection

Abstract

Time from symptom onset to surgery ≤72 h, preoperative PaO2/FiO2 ≤300, white blood cell count >15 000/μl and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest time >25 min were found to be independently associated with hypoxaemia after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
