Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant burden on the patients and the health care system. The increasing number of surgery performed in elderly population results in an increased number of perioperative T2DM-related adverse effects. T2DM has a prevalence of 30-40% in a population undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Cardiac surgery, especially cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is also known to deteriorate respiratory mechanics. Therefore, the study is aimed at a retrospective analysis of seasonal trends in respiratory consequences of T2DM, i.e.: i: distribution of patients with and without T2DM presenting for elective cardiac surgery during the two-year examination period; ii: characterization of respiratory co-morbidities in the patients, iii: exploring whether the respiratory mechanics at presentation and those caused by cardiac surgery exhibit different trends in T2DM and control patients.
