Popis: Background: The incidence of late postoperative hypoxaemia and complications after upper abdominal surgery is 20–50% among cardiopulmonary healthy patients. Atelectasis development during anaesthesia and surgery is the main hypothesis to explain postoperative hypoxaemia. This study tested the predictive value of PaO219 kPa during anaesthesia with FIO2=0.33 exhibited a risk, irrespective of PEEP status, of suffering late prolonged hypoxaemia of 0% (0;23) and patients with PaO2
