Background This is the second updated Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) Society
guideline, presenting a consensus for optimal perioperative care in bariatric surgery and …

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

Importance In patients who undergo mechanical ventilation during surgery, the ideal tidal
volume is unclear. Objective To determine whether low-tidal-volume ventilation compared …

Abstract Background This is Part 2 of the first consensus guidelines for optimal care of
patients undergoing emergency laparotomy (EL) using an Enhanced Recovery After …

Background General anesthesia may cause atelectasis and deterioration in oxygenation in
obese patients. The authors hypothesized that individualized positive end-expiratory …

BACKGROUND: The optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) to prevent
postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remains unclear. Recent evidence showed …

Despite a large body of evidence, the implementation of guidelines on hemodynamic
optimization and goal-directed therapy remains limited in daily routine practice. To …

Background The debate on lung-protective ventilation strategies for surgical patients is
ongoing. Evidence suggests that the use of low tidal volume VT improves clinical outcomes …

The effect of intra‐operative mechanical ventilation modes on pulmonary outcomes after
thoracic surgery with one‐lung ventilation has not been well established. We evaluated the …

Background Mechanical ventilation can induce or aggravate lung injury, which is termed
ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Piezo1 is a key element of the mechanotransduction …
