Abstract

Purpose

Postoperative hyperglycemia is associated with infectious complications after various types of surgery. Our objective was to determine whether postoperative blood glucose levels up to 1 week after highly invasive esophageal cancer surgery are associated with the incidence of postoperative infections (POIs).

Methods

We conducted a retrospective chart review of 109 consecutive thoracic esophageal squamous cell cancer patients who underwent invasive esophagectomy with thoracotomy and laparotomy. The incidence of postoperative POIs and risk factors for POIs, including postoperative blood glucose levels, were evaluated.

Results

Of the 109 patients, 37 (34.0 %) developed POIs. Clinically, 73.0 % of the POIs became evident on or after postoperative day 4 (median, 5.25 days; interquartile range, 3.00–9.25 days). On and after postoperative day 3, chronological changes in blood glucose levels were significantly different between two groups of patients with or without POIs, as indicated by repeated measures ANOVA (P = 0.006). Multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that an increased blood glucose concentration on postoperative day 3 was a significant risk factor for POIs.

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that postoperative hyperglycemia on postoperative day 3 was a predictive factor of POIs after highly invasive esophageal cancer surgery.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
