Preoperative PaO2 (mm Hg) 343 ± 251 363.50 ± 218.25 0.54
PaCO2 (mm Hg) 39 ± 2 39 ± 2.75 0.84
HCO3 (mm Hg) 27 ± 4 26 ± 34 0.81
Postoperative PaO2 (mm Hg) 281.50 ± 209.50 314 ± 145 0.86
PaCO2 (mm Hg) 39 ± 8 37 ± 5 0.15
HCO3 (mm Hg) 22 ± 3.75 23 ± 2 0.21
ICU admission PaO2 (mm Hg) 157 ± 99 136 ± 70.75 0.24
PaCO2 (mm Hg) 41 ± 9 41 ± 6.50 0.45
HCO3 (mm Hg) 23 ± 3.50 22 ± 4.50 0.96

ICU: intensive care unit, PaO2: partial pressure of oxygen; PaCO2: partial pressure of carbon dioxide; HCO3: bicarbonate, IQR: interquartile range. The fraction of inspired oxygen, FiO2, was 90% according to the standard of practice in our setting.
