Improvement Of Surgical Complications Using Single-Lumen Endotracheal Tube Intubation And Artificial Carbon Dioxide Pneumothorax In Esophagectomy: A Meta-analysis
Abstract:Background: Esophageal cancer has a poor prognosis. Surgery is the main treatment but involves a high risk of complications. Some surgical strategies have tried to eliminate complications. Our meta-analysis tried to find the benefits of single-lumen endotracheal tube intubation with carbon dioxide (CO2) inflation. Methods: A systematic search of studies on esophagectomy and CO2 inflation was conducted using PubMed, Medline, and Scopus. The odds ratio of post-operative pulmonary complications and anastomosis le… Show more
