Patient with acute hypoxic failure (AHF) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the individual status change pre- and post-operative. The 37 patients who did not have AHF/ARDS at any time during the ICU stay are not included in the figure. The Y-axis shows the number of patients, the x-axis the oxygenation status of the individual patients before surgery and the z-axis the oxygenation status after surgery. For example, 5 patients had no AHF/ARDS before but deveoped mild AHF/ARDS after surgery and 15 patients had no AHF/ARDS before but developed moderate AHF/ARDS after surgery. The color describes how the individual patient’s AHF/ARDS status changed post-operatively. Red = Worsen AHF/ARDS status (e.g. 15 patients had no AHF/ARDS pre-operative but had moderate AHF/ARD post-operative (the red number 15)). Blue = No AHF/ARDS status change (e.g. 11 patients had moderate AHF/ARDS pre-operative and post-operative (the blue number 11)). Green = Better AHF/ARDS status (e.g. 2 patients had severe AHF/ARDS pre-operative but had moderate AHF/ARDS post-operative (the green number 2))
