Intraoperative protective mechanical ventilation: what is new?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Postoperative pulmonary complications are an important cause of hospital morbidity and mortality and are known to be associated with longer hospital stays and higher long-term mortality rates.(1) Thus, it is imperative to recognize early risk factors for the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) and to focus on the adoption of measures to prevent them from occurring.(1) Among these measures, recent evidence points to some generally defined strategies, such as intraoperative protective mechanical ventilation, that may help minimize the occurrence of PPC. Other methods include the rational use of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), tidal volume (Vt) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).(2)

1254 June 2013 A FTER 2 decades of military dictatorship, in 1985 a civilian president was elected in Brazil. The events surrounding the inauguration related as much to the disciplines of perioperative medicine as to diplomacy. After abdominal surgery, the elected president developed a most significant postoperative pulmonary complication: severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). He n...
متن کاملIntraoperative mechanical ventilation strategies in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation: a meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), which are not uncommon in one-lung ventilation, are among the main causes of postoperative death after lung surgery. Intra-operative ventilation strategies can influence the incidence of PPCs. High tidal volume (V T) and increased airway pressure may lead to lung injury, while pressure-controlled ventilation and lung-protective strategies...
متن کاملA trial of intraoperative low-tidal-volume ventilation in abdominal surgery.
BACKGROUND Lung-protective ventilation with the use of low tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure is considered best practice in the care of many critically ill patients. However, its role in anesthetized patients undergoing major surgery is not known. METHODS In this multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group trial, we randomly assigned 400 adults at intermediate to high risk of p...
متن کاملVariable versus conventional lung protective mechanical ventilation during open abdominal surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND General anesthesia usually requires mechanical ventilation, which is traditionally accomplished with constant tidal volumes in volume- or pressure-controlled modes. Experimental studies suggest that the use of variable tidal volumes (variable ventilation) recruits lung tissue, improves pulmonary function and reduces systemic inflammatory response. However, it is currently not known w...
