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

Mechanical ventilation of the pediatric patient is challenging because small changes in
delivered volume can be a significant fraction of the intended tidal volume. Anesthesia …

Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) can have severe consequences and their
incidence is high. In recent years, PPCs have been the subject of numerous studies and …

BACKGROUND: The use of an intraoperative lung-protective ventilation strategy through
tidal volume (TV) size reduction and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been …

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) needs a steep Trendelenburg
position and a relatively high CO2 insufflation pressure, and patients undergoing RARP are …

After surgery, hypoxemia and/or acute respiratory failure (ARF) mainly develop following
abdominal and/or thoracic surgery. Anesthesia, postoperative pain and surgery will induce …

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative mechanical ventilation may yield lung injury. To date, there
is no consensus regarding the best ventilator strategy for abdominal surgery. We aimed to …

Background Lung protective ventilation strategies utilizing lower tidal volumes per predicted
body weight (PBW) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) have been suggested to be …

Traditional lung‐protective ventilation strategies (LPVS) are currently used to reduce the
incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), including low tidal volume (VT) …

Objective To evaluate gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and hemodynamic impact of
mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume (VT) in dogs with the use of positive end …
