Non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for~ 85% of lung cancer cases and has high
morbidity and mortality rates. Over the past decade, treatment strategies for NSCLC have …

Protective ventilation is a prevailing ventilatory strategy these days and is comprised of small
tidal volume, limited inspiratory pressure, and application of positive end-expiratory pressure …

Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) represent the most frequent complications
after lung surgery, and they increase postoperative mortality. This study investigated the …

The concept, mechanisms, and physical and physiological determinants of ventilator-
induced lung injury, as well as the influence of lung-protective ventilation strategies, are …

Background Intraoperative mechanical ventilation may influence postoperative pulmonary
complications (PPCs). Current practice during thoracic surgery is not well described …

During one-lung ventilation (OLV), titrating the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to
target a low driving pressure (∆ P) could reduce postoperative pulmonary complications …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is still necessary in many surgical procedures; nonetheless,
intraoperative MV is not free from harmful effects. Protective ventilation strategies, which …

Background Individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may optimise
pulmonary compliance, thereby potentially mitigating lung injury. This meta-analysis aimed …

Background It is unclear how positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment
maneuvers impact patients during one-lung ventilation (OLV). We conducted a systematic …

Extensive preventive strategies in the perioperative period are popular worldwide. Novel
“prehabilitation” approaches are being defined for every individual surgical discipline. With …
