The influence of different operative approaches on perioperative respiratory and cardiac function of patients with gastric cardia carcinoma

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of different operative approaches on perioperative respiratory and cardiac function of patients with gastric cardia carcinoma. Methods The perioperative changes of SpO2 ,Breath Rate (BR) and Heart Rate(HR) of patients with gastric cardia carcinoma underwent surgical therapies through transthoracic ( n = 30 ), transabdominal ( n = 37 ) or trans-thoracoabdominal ( n = 10 )approaches were compared respectively. Results On the postoperative 1st,2nd,4th and 7th day,the changes of BR in transthoracic (5. 20 ± 0. 96,5. 17 ± 1. 58,3.93 ± 1.53,2. 63 ± 1.25 )/min and trans-thoracoabdominal (5.80 ±0. 79,6. 10 ± 1.20,4. 80 ± 1.32,3.00 ± 1.49)/min approach groups were significantly greater than that of transabdominal group (4. 35 ± 1.06,3.89 ±0. 99,2. 24 ± 1.30,1.16 ±0. 65)/min (Ps ＜0. 05). At the meanwhile, the changes of SpO2 at 2nd, 4th postoperative day of transthoracic ( [ 8. 30 ± 1.95 ] %, [ 7.23 ±2. 01 ] % ) and trans-thoracoabdominal ( [ 8.60 ± 1.43 ] %, [ 7. 70 ± 2. 11 ] % ) approach groups were significantly greater than that of transabdominal group ( [ 7. 08 ± 1.82 ] %, [ 6.24 ± 1.88 ] % ) ( Ps ＜ 0. 05 ), but there were no significant differences observed among three groups on the postoperative 1st,7th day. On the postoperative 1 st,2nd and 4th day, the changes of HR of transthoracic ( 18.00 ± 3.79,13.47 ± 4. 42,8. 60 ±4. 13 )/min and trans-thoracoabdominal ( 19. 80 ± 4. 96,14. 80 ± 3.33,8.70 ± 3.47)/min approach groups were significantly greater than that of transabdominal group ( 13.62 ± 4. 00,10. 84 ± 4. 16,6. 32 ± 2. 53 )/min, too (Ps ＜0. 05) ,but no differences were observed among three groups on the postoperative 7th day (Ps ＞0. 05).Coniclusion Transthoracic,transabdominal and trans-thoracoabdominal approachs resulted in different effects on respiratory and cardiac function in patients with gastric cardia carcinoma.
