The development of pulmonary atelectasis is common in the surgical patient. Pulmonary
atelectasis can cause various degrees of gas exchange and respiratory mechanics …

Pulmonary atelectasis is common in the perioperative period. Physiologically, it is produced
when collapsing forces derived from positive pleural pressure and surface tension overcome …

Background: Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation has been recommended to reduce
postoperative pulmonary complications after abdominal surgery. Although the protective role …

Objective To identify, appraise, and synthesise the best available evidence on the efficacy of
perioperative interventions to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in adult …

Background Recently, several retrospective studies have suggested that pulmonary
complication is related with driving pressure more than any other ventilatory parameter …

Background: Mechanical power during ventilation estimates the energy delivered to the
respiratory system through integrating inspiratory pressures, tidal volume, and respiratory …

Background: Compared to historic ventilation strategies, modern lung-protective ventilation
includes lower tidal volumes (VT), lower driving pressures, and application of positive end …

Objective To assess the efficacy of a single preoperative physiotherapy session to reduce
postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after upper abdominal surgery. Design …
