Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients aged 65 years or older, male or female

  • History of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring non-invasive ventilation and/or home oxygen therapy.
  • Patients on systemic corticosteroid treatment for acute chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation.
  • Severe pulmonary arterial hypertension, defined as systolic pulmonary artery pressure \> 40 mmHg.
  • Heart failure according to the New York Heart Association classification (class III or IV), ongoing hemodynamic instability, or severe shock (determined by the attending internist, cardiac index \< 2.5 L/min/m2, or the requirement for positive inotropic drugs to maintain blood pressure).

  • History of bone marrow transplantation or recent history of immunosuppressive drugs (chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 months before surgery).
  • Mechanical ventilation duration \> 30 minutes within the past 30 days (e.g., surgery under general anesthesia).
  • Requirement for one-lung ventilation.
  • History of acute respiratory distress syndrome with potential need for prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation.
  • Planned re-intubation after surgery.
  • Pregnancy (excluded by medical history and/or laboratory tests).
  • Brain injury or tumor.
  • Requirement for prone or lateral position during surgery.
  • Severe esophagogastric varices.
