Within 90 sec, the fluorescence intensity was continuously declining in the TP and F + TP groups (P<0.001 and P=0.024, respectively), suggesting that Cl − could be accumulated in OCs in these groups; however, the fluorescence intensity in the F group exhibited an increasing trend (P<0.001), suggesting that OCs in the F group did not retain Cl − .

The proportions of females were different among the three groups, with an increasing trend towards the symptomatic bronchiectasis group (34.4% versus 39.0% versus 45.3%, p<0.001), whereas age was greater in the asymptomatic bronchiectasis group than in the other two groups (58.19 years versus 64.24 years versus 62.64 years, p<0.001).

The administration rates of non-selective NSAIDs exhibited an increasing trend in the intraoperative phase (0.1% vs. 30.5%, P < 0.001) and POD 0 (2.4% vs. 26.8%, P < 0.001).
