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: The optimal ventilation strategy during general anesthesia is unclear. This
systematic review investigated the relationship between ventilation targets or strategies (eg …

Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is an important part of the lung
protection strategies for one-lung ventilation (OLV). However, a fixed PEEP value is not …

The optimization of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) according to respiratory
mechanics [driving pressure or respiratory system compliance (Crs)] is a simple and …

To investigate whether driving pressure–guided ventilation could contribute to a more
homogeneous distribution in the lung for gynecological laparoscopy. Chinese patients were …

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

For patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, the pneumoperitoneum with a
steep Trendelenburg position could worsen intraoperative respiratory mechanics and result …

This paper provides a review of a selection of papers published in the Journal of Clinical
Monitoring and Computing in 2020 and 2021 highlighting what is new within the field of …

Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are common in patients undergoing general
anesthesia, with atelectasis being a key contributor that increases postoperative mortality …

Background: Progressive atelectasis regularly occurs during general anaesthesia; hence,
positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is often applied. Individualised PEEP titration may …
