Narrative review explores individualized PEEP effects on functional recovery in older surgical patients, suggesting optimized ventilation strategies.

Key Points

To analyze the relationship between individualized PEEP strategies and postoperative pulmonary complications in older surgical patients.
Reviewed literature on PEEP and postoperative outcomes in older adults.
Proposed a three-dimensional titration framework involving respiratory mechanics, lung imaging, and hemodynamic tolerance.
Identified limitations of fixed PEEP strategies in elderly patients.
Individualized PEEP approaches may reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and improve functional recovery.
Optimal PEEP is associated with better management of atelectasis and circulatory compromise.
Implementation challenges and research gaps were identified for future clinical trials.
