Journal ArticleDOI

Association between driving pressure and development of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for general anaesthesia: a meta-analysis of individual patient data.

Ary Serpa Neto, +39 more
- 01 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: In patients having surgery, intraoperative high driving pressure and changes in the level of PEEP that result in an increase of driving pressure are associated with more postoperative pulmonary complications, and a randomised controlled trial comparing ventilation based on driving pressure with usual care is needed to confirm these findings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protective versus Conventional Ventilation for Surgery: A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis

Ary Serpa Neto, +40 more
- 01 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: These data support the beneficial effects of ventilation with use of low VT in patients undergoing surgery and the role of intraoperative higher PEEP to prevent PPC during nonopen abdominal surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Post-anaesthesia pulmonary complications after use of muscle relaxants (POPULAR): a multicentre, prospective observational study.

Eva Kirmeier, +865 more
- 01 Feb 2019 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the use of neuromuscular blocking drugs in general anaesthesia is associated with an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, and Anaesthetists must balance the potential benefits of neurmuscular blockade against the increasedrisk of postoperatively pulmonary complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of mortality and morbidity related to postoperative lung injury in patients who have undergone abdominal or thoracic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Ary Serpa Neto, +24 more
- 01 Dec 2014 - 
TL;DR: Postoperative lung injury is associated with increases in in-hospital mortality and durations of stay in intensive care and hospital, and lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies reduce incidence but does not improve mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individualised perioperative open-lung approach versus standard protective ventilation in abdominal surgery (iPROVE): a randomised controlled trial.

Carlos Ferrando, +152 more
- 01 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: In patients who have major abdominal surgery, the different perioperative open lung approaches tested in this study did not reduce the risk of postoperative complications when compared with standard lung-protective mechanical ventilation.
