TL;DR: The effects of body mass index (BMI) on functional residual capacity (FRC), respiratory mechanics, respiratory mechanics (compliance and resistance), gas exchange, and the inspiratory mechanical work done per liter of ventilation during general anesthesia are investigated.

TL;DR: Increasing PEEP to 10 cm H2O significantly reduced elastances of the respiratory system, lung, and chest wall in obese patients but not in normal subjects, and improves respiratory function during anesthesia and paralysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured lung volumes, elastances of the respiratory system, lung, and chest wall, and the pressure-volume curves (occlusion technique and esophageal balloon), at PEEP 0 and 10 cm H2O in paralyzed, anesthetized postoperative patients in the intensive care unit or operating room after abdominal surgery.

TL;DR: Peripheral nervous system alterations were induced in adult rats by administration of cisplatin 2 mg/kg twice weekly for 4.5 weeks, and RA failed to prevent morphometric, electrophysiological, functional and analytical alterations induced by CDDP on DRG neurons.

TL;DR: Imbalances in patients’ clinical characteristics, types of surgery, and intraoperative management at night‐time partially explained the higher incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, but not theHigher incidence of adverse events.
