Background Protective mechanical ventilation strategies using low tidal volume or high
levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improve outcomes for patients who have …

Postoperative pulmonary complications are associated with increased morbidity, length of
hospital stay, and mortality after major surgery. Intraoperative lung-protective mechanical …

Aim The guideline for coronary artery revascularization replaces the 2011 coronary artery
bypass graft surgery and the 2011 and 2015 percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines …

Context Lung-protective mechanical ventilation with the use of lower tidal volumes has been
found to improve outcomes of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It …

Background: Recent studies show that intraoperative mechanical ventilation using low tidal
volumes (VT) can prevent postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The aim of this …

Background: The impact of intraoperative ventilation on postoperative pulmonary
complications is not defined. The authors aimed at determining the effectiveness of …

Background Lung injury is a serious complication of surgery. We did a systematic review
and meta-analysis to assess whether incidence, morbidity, and in-hospital mortality …

Objective: Protective mechanical ventilation with low tidal volumes is standard of care for
patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The aim of this individual patient data …

Objectives: Cardiac surgery, including coronary artery bypass, cardiac valve, and aortic
procedures, is among the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States …

Background High tidal volumes in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and
acute lung injury lead to ventilator-induced lung injury and increased mortality. We …
