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

Risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications and prolonged hospital stay in pulmonary resection patients: a retrospective study
Clovis Tadeu Bevilacqua Filho,André Schmidt,Elaine Aparecida Felix,Fabiana Bianchi,Fernanda M. Guerra,Cristiano Feijó Andrade +5 more
TL;DR: The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications in the study population is in line with the world average, and recognizing risk factors for the development of PPCs may help optimize allocation resources and preventive efforts.

The Effect of Ventilation Strategy on Arterial and Cerebral Oxygenation During Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery.
TL;DR: Changes in I/E ratio are a poor trigger on respiratory function, with low improvements and a potential harmful such as plateau pressure–PEEP, according to Radwan Kassir Radwankassir42@hotmail.Fr

Survey about the Extubation Practice among Anaesthesiologists in Kosovo.
TL;DR: Complications duringextubation remain important risk factor while extubation during light anaesthesia can minimise some of them, according to an anesthesiologists involved in this study.

Luciana Moisés Camilo,Luciana Moisés Camilo,Gabriel Casulari Motta-Ribeiro,Mariana Barcellos Avila,Luis Felipe Paula,Mariana Abreu,Alysson R. Carvalho,Walter A. Zin +7 more
TL;DR: Variable ventilation was more protective than conventional ventilation within the applied PEEP levels and attenuated the amount of concentrations of proinflammatory mediators in lung homogenate.

TL;DR: Preemptive thoracic drainage for transplant recipients at high risk of postoperative atelectasis could decrease morbidities after LDLT, and there were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse events associated withThoracic drainages.

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.
