ClinConnect Summary
Atelectasis is developed in 90% of anesthetized patients after surgery.
Protective ventilation with low tidal volumes and positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) promotes atelectasis with the potential right ventricle dysfunction induced by the increment in afterload (activation of the pulmonary hypoxic vasocontriction reflex).
Lung recruitment can improve the right ventricle performance caused by atelectasis because the pulmonary hypoxic vasocontriction reflex desapear in a normal aerated lungs.
