N2 - Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of intra-operative metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities and subsequent impact on peri-operative outcomes in women with gynecologic cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC). Methods: An IRB-approved single institution retrospective cohort study was performed in women with gynecologic cancer who underwent CRS + HIPEC. Patient demographics, intra-operative electrolyte and metabolic values and peri-operative outcomes were recorded. To assess the association of pH and lactate upon post-operative outcomes, patients were divided in four quartiles for both variables and univariate analysis was performed. Results: 100 consecutive women who underwent CRS + HIPEC from 2017 to 2020 were identified. Intra-operative blood transfusion and pressor support were required in 40% and 86%, respectively. The rate of ICU admission was 17%. Longer operative time (7.0 vs. 5.3 h, p = 0.002), increased blood loss (400.0 vs. 200.0 mL, p = 0.02) and transfusion (70.6% vs. 34.1%, p = 0.005) were associated with ICU admission. Compared to patients in the highest quartile of pH, lower median pH, (7.211 vs. 7.349, p < 0.001) was associated with increased rates of ICU admission, prolonged intubation (36.0% vs. 0.0%, p < 0.05, respectively) and any post-operative complication (72.0% vs. 28.0%, p = 0.01). Similarly, need for prolonged intubation (40% vs. 0%, p = 0.04) and VTE (13.0% vs. 0%, p = 0.01) were increased in women with the highest quartile of lactate levels compared to the lowest (4.7 vs 1.9, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Intra-operative acidosis is associated with higher incidence of ICU admission and peri-operative complications following CRS + HIPEC in women with gynecologic cancer. These data support the importance of adequate intra-operative resuscitation and timely correction of hemodynamic and metabolic abnormalities.
