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

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

Abstract Editor's Perspective What We Already Know about This Topic In patients with adult
respiratory distress syndrome, physiologic tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure …

Importance An intraoperative higher level of positive end-expiratory positive pressure
(PEEP) with alveolar recruitment maneuvers improves respiratory function in obese patients …

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

Mechanical ventilation applies physical stresses to the tissues of the lung and thus may give
rise to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), particular in patients with acute respiratory …

Background Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by dynamic
compliance improves oxygenation and reduces postoperative atelectasis in nonobese …

Background Protective ventilation may improve outcomes after major surgery. However, in
the context of one-lung ventilation, such a strategy is incompletely defined. The authors …

Background Airway driving pressure, easily measured as plateau pressure minus PEEP, is a
surrogate for alveolar stress and strain. However, the effect of its targeted reduction remains …
