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.

Evaluation of Intraoperative Near-Infrared Fluorescence Visualization of the Lung Tumor Margin With Indocyanine Green Inhalation.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that lung-specific inhalation delivery of ICG is feasible and may be useful for the intraoperative visualization of lung tumor margin in clinical practice.

Standard perioperative management in gastrointestinal surgery

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide clinicians with practical recommendations for day-to-day decision-making from a joint surgical and anaesthesiological point of view on gastrointestinal surgery specifically.

Effectiveness of an early mobilization program on functional capacity after coronary artery bypass surgery: A randomized controlled trial protocol

TL;DR: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind trial protocol that will evaluate 66 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting to investigate the effectiveness of an early mobilization program on the functional capacity of patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation in the short and long term.

Postoperative chest physical therapy prevents respiratory complications in patients undergoing esophagectomy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the frequency of respiratory complications in patients undergoing esophagectomy receiving chest physical therapy compared to no treatment and found that patients who received CPT had a lower frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications.

Reducing tidal volume and increasing positive end-expiratory pressure with constant plateau pressure during one-lung ventilation: effect on oxygenation

TL;DR: During OLV, lowering V(T) and increasing PEEP, with the same low plateau pressure, reduced oxygenation compared with larger V(R) and lower PEEP and this strategy may reduce the risk of lung injury, but needs to be investigated further.

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

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.

Effect of a Protective-Ventilation Strategy on Mortality in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

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.

Ventilator-induced lung injury: lessons from experimental studies.

TL;DR: This paper presents experimental evidence for Increased Vascular Transmural Pressure Evidence for Alterations in Alveolar–Capillary Permeability Contributions of the Static and Dynamic Lung Volume Components to Ventilator-induced Edema High-volume Lung Edema Low Lung Volume Injury.

Effect of mechanical ventilation on inflammatory mediators in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a randomized controlled trial.

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.
