Abstract
Clinically, it is widely recognized that surgical treatment is the preferred and reliable option for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Stanford type A aortic dissection is an emergent and serious cardiovascular disease characterized with an acute onset, poor prognosis, and high mortality. However, the incidences of postoperative complications are relatively higher due to the complexity of the disease and its intricate procedure. It has been considered that hypoxemia, one of the most common postoperative complications, plays an important role in having a worse clinical prognosis. Therefore, the effective intervention of postoperative hypoxemia is significant for the improved prognosis of patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection.
Core Tip: Surgically, it has been considered that in patients suffering with Stanford type A dissection, postoperative complications are the main risk factors that lead to higher mortality and worse outcome. As one of the most common postoperative complications, the importance of prevention and intervention on the postoperative hypoxemia should be fully emphasized with the aim to decrease the mortality and improve the outcome.
