TLDR
A strategy with a high level of positive end-expiratory pressure and recruitment manoeuvres during open abdominal surgery does not protect against postoperative pulmonary complications, and an intraoperative protective ventilation strategy should include a low tidal volume and low positiveEnd-expiration pressure, without recruitment manoeuvre.

Postoperative pulmonary complications

TL;DR: Preoperative optimization of co-morbidities, smoking cessation, and correction of anaemia, in addition to intraoperative protective ventilation strategies and appropriate management of neuromuscular blocking drugs, reduces PPCs.
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.

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

Intraoperative protective mechanical ventilation for prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications: a comprehensive review of the role of tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure, and lung recruitment maneuvers.

TL;DR: The authors propose an algorithm for protective intraoperative mechanical ventilation based on evidence from recent randomized controlled trials and the pathophysiology of ventilator-induced lung injury with emphasis on the noninjured lung.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.

Acute renal failure - definition, outcome measures, animal models, fluid therapy and information technology needs: the Second International Consensus Conference of the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative (ADQI) Group.

TL;DR: A 2-day consensus conference on acute renal failure (ARF) in critically ill patients was organized by ADQI as discussed by the authors, where the authors sought to review the available evidence, make recommendations and delineate key questions for future studies.

An estimation of the global volume of surgery: a modelling strategy based on available data

TL;DR: In view of the high death and complication rates of major surgical procedures, surgical safety should now be a substantial global public-health concern.

An estimation of the global volume of surgery : a modelling strategy based on available data. Commentary

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimated the number of major operations undertaken worldwide, described their distribution, and assessed the importance of surgical care in global public health policy, based on demographic, health, and economic data for 192 member states of the World Health Organization.

Higher vs Lower Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Patients With Acute Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: Evaluating the association of higher vs lower PEEP with patient-important outcomes in adults with acute lung injury or ARDS who are receiving ventilation with low tidal volumes found that higher levels were associated with improved survival among the subgroup of patients with ARDS, but lower levels were not associated withImproved hospital survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

A trial of intraoperative low-tidal-volume ventilation in abdominal surgery.

TL;DR: The use of a lung-protective ventilation strategy in intermediate-risk and high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery was associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced health care utilization.
