    Notes: Concomitant hypoxaemia and tachycardia in the postoperative period is unfavourable for the myocardium. Since hypoxaemia per se may be involved in the pathogenesis of postoperative tachycardia, we have studied the effect of oxygen therapy on tachycardia in 12 patients randomly allocated to blinded air or oxygen byfacemask on the second or third day after major surgery. Inclusion criteria were arterial hypoxaemia (oxygen saturation ≤ 92%) and increased heart rate (〉 90 beat.min-1). Each patient responded similarly to oxygen therapy: an increase in arterial oxygen saturation and a decrease in heart rate (p 〈 0.002). Thus, postoperative supplementary oxygen has a positive effect on the cardiac oxygen delivery and demand balance.

    Body position and late postoperative nocturnal hypoxaemia (1997)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    Anaesthesia 52 (1997), S. 0

    Notes: Thirteen patients were monitored for nocturnal body position (supine vs. side) and arterial oxygen saturation pre-operatively and on the second postoperative night after major abdominal surgery. The number of positional changes were significantly decreased after operation (p 〈 0.05) with a trend towards more time spent in the supine position (p = 0.1). Individual mean arterial oxygen saturation decreased postoperatively (p 〈 0.05) but without a difference between the supine and side positions (p = 0.9). Pre-operatively, episodic desaturations were significantly more frequent in the supine position than on the side (p 〈 0.05) but not postoperatively. Pain was the most frequent reason for decreased nocturnal movements.
