Oxygen Saturation and Postoperative Mortality in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Treated by Endovascular Thrombectomy

Abstract

GA was associated with a higher Spo2 compared to MAC among those treated by endovascular thrombectomy for AIS. Spo2 values that were higher than the middle tertile were associated with higher odds of mortality. However, GA was not significantly associated with higher odds of death. Spo2 at most constituted a modest mediator role in explaining the relationship between GA versus MAC and mortality.
