  Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has emerged as an efficient treatment for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM). Pulmonary adverse events (AEs) are common after CRS and HIPEC. This report covers the case of a pulmonary adverse event, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), and its effect on the postoperative recovery process.

On the first day after surgery, the patient was not extubated because of respiratory insufficiency. We chose the liberal fluid management in order to maintain adequate organ perfusion, but this strategy might have influenced the outcome in this patient.
