METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF POSTOPERATIVE RESPIRATORY FAILURE IN ELECTIVE ABDOMINAL SURGERY Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61B5/08 A61B17/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to anaesthesiology and resuscitation, and can be used in assessing the risk of postoperative respiratory failure in abdominal surgery. Before the operation, the duration of arbitrary threshold apnoea is determined in seconds by conducting an inspiration breath holding test; detected are the presence of a complete functional dependence, presence of concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; intraoperatively determining the length of the operation in minutes, the need for blood transfusion, taking into account the physical status according to the ASA classification. Derived values are used to determine a risk of developing postoperative respiratory failure (K) by a given formula. If the K value is more than -4.3, the patient is referred to a high-risk group of postoperative respiratory failure, and if the K value is -4.3 and less, the patient is referred to a low-risk group.

EFFECT: method enables higher accuracy of determining the patients with a high risk of developing respiratory failure in the postoperative period by assessing a combination of the most significant values.
