Intraoperative ventilation strategies play a key role in decreasing postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk surgical patients.
Why the study?
Do intraoperative ventilation strategies reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk surgical patients?
Do intraoperative ventilation strategies reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk surgical patients?
This review outlines risk factors and intraoperative ventilation strategies to decrease postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk surgical patients.
Supports ventilation optimization in high-risk surgery; leaves open optimal parameters pending prospective trials.
Postoperative pulmonary complications contribute to perioperative morbidity and mortality in addition to being associated with increased health care costs. In this review article, we outline risk factors for the development postoperative pulmonary complications, describe their impact on perioperative outcomes, and focus on the role of intraoperative ventilation strategies in decreasing postoperative pulmonary complications.
