  • Beschreibung: Noncardiac surgery is associated with hemodynamic perturbations, fluid shifts and hypoxic events, causing stress responses. Copeptin is used to assess endogenous stress and predict myocardial injury. Myocardial injury is common after noncardiac surgery, and is often caused by myocardial oxygen demand-and-supply mismatch. In this secondary analysis, we included 173 patients at risk for cardiovascular complications undergoing moderate- to high-risk major abdominal surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 80% or 30% oxygen throughout surgery and the first two postoperative hours. We evaluated the effect of supplemental oxygen on postoperative Copeptin concentrations. Copeptin concentrations were measured preoperatively, within two hours after surgery, on the first and third postoperative days. In total, 85 patients received 0.8 FiO2, and 88 patients received 0.3 FiO2. There was no significant difference in postoperative Copeptin concentrations between both study groups (p = 0.446). Copeptin increased significantly within two hours after surgery, compared with baseline in the overall study population (estimated effect: −241.7 pmol·L−1; 95% CI −264.4, −219.1; p < 0.001). Supplemental oxygen did not significantly attenuate postoperative Copeptin release. Copeptin concentrations showed a more immediate postoperative increase compared with previously established biomarkers. Nevertheless, Copeptin concentrations did not surpass Troponin T in early determination of patients at risk for developing myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery.
