Clinically, it is widely recognized that surgical treatment is the preferred and reliable option for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Stanford type A aortic dissection is an emergent and serious cardiovascular disease characterized with an acute onset, poor prognosis, and high mortality. However, the incidences of postoperative complications are relatively higher due to the complexity of the disease and its intricate procedure. It has been considered that hypoxemia, one of the most common postoperative complications, plays an important role in having a worse clinical prognosis. Therefore, the effective intervention of postoperative hypoxemia is significant for the improved prognosis of patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection.
