Incidence and Risk Factors for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery
The incidence of PPC in patients undergoing EES is significant. Targeting perioperative risk factors including age ≥65, duration of intubation, postsurgical intubation status, and intraoperative blood loss should have a meaningful impact on decreasing PPC. The contribution of silent intraoperative aspiration during surgery needs to be investigated further in high-risk patient populations.
