2 Fig 1 Preoperative and postoperative pulse oximetry oxygen saturation (Spo2) (bar graph) and fraction of oxygen in inspired gas (Fio2, points and whiskers) in patients who developed acute lung injury (ALI) or severe hypoxemia, and those who did not sustain any complications. The saturation values in ALI and hypoxemia group reflect measured Spo2 on supplemental oxygen. Differences between “no complications” and “severe hypoxemia” groups were statistically significant by t test both preoperatively (p < 0.02), and postoperatively (p = ).
