TLDR
The authors discuss the effects and implications of atelectasis in the perioperative period and illustrate how preventive measures may impact outcome and the impact of atElectasis and its prevention in acute lung injury.Abstract:
Atelectasis occurs in the dependent parts of the lungs of most patients who are anesthetized. Development of atelectasis is associated with decreased lung compliance, impairment of oxygenation, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and development of lung injury. The adverse effects of atelectasis persist into the postoperative period and can impact patient recovery. This review article focuses on the causes, nature, and diagnosis of atelectasis. The authors discuss the effects and implications of atelectasis in the perioperative period and illustrate how preventive measures may impact outcome. In addition, they examine the impact of atelectasis and its prevention in acute lung injury.read more

Impact of 30° Reserve Trendelenburg Position on Lung Function in Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
TL;DR: During and after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, patients with morbid obesity had improved lung function, reduced pulmonary shunt, reduced PA−aO2 difference, and increased PaO2 and oxygen index at 30°-RTP compared to that supine position.

Anesthesia, Mechanical Ventilation, and Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction
TL;DR: For example, in this paper , the early pulmonary protection of InhA is accompanied by a lower level of alveolar inflammatory mediators, as compared with intravenous anesthetic (IVA).

The Effect of Different Levels of Positive End Expiratory Pressure on Oxygenation and Hemodynamics During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in Obese Patients
TL;DR: It could be concluded that PEEP 7 H2O is the optimal PEEP level with maximum beneficial effect on oxygenation without affecting hemodynamics during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in obese patients.
Evaluación a tra vés de tomografía computarizada del efecto de una infusión endo venosa de ketamina en el desarrollo de atelectasia inducida por anestesia general en perros Evaluation of an endovenous ketamine infusion through computed tomography on the development of pulmonary atelectasis due to general anesthesia in dogs
CA Henríquez,LM Mieres,Hedie Bustamante,Daniel Herzberg,CE Campillo,MP Cabrera,Marcelo Gómez +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of an endovenous ketamine infusion on pulmonary atelectasis in dogs under inhalatory anesthesia and evaluated its effect on lung zones.

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Roy G. Brower,Michael A. Matthay,Alan H. Morris,David A. Schoenfeld,B. Taylor Thompson,Arthur P. Wheeler +5 more
TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.

The acute respiratory distress syndrome
TL;DR: An overview of the definitions, clinical features, and epidemiology of the acute respiratory distress syndrome is provided and advances in the areas of pathogenesis, resolution, and treatment are discussed.

TL;DR: As compared with conventional ventilation, the protective strategy was associated with improved survival at 28 days, a higher rate of weaning from mechanical ventilation, and a lower rate of barotrauma in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: Mechanical ventilation can induce a cytokine response that may be attenuated by a strategy to minimize overdistention and recruitment/derecruitment of the lung, and these physiological improvements are associated with improvements in clinical end points.
