ClinConnect Summary

Postoperative pulmonary complications are associated with increased mortality and morbidity. These complications occur in 2.8 % of all patients, and the rate can reach 14.5% in high-risk surgeries. Mechanical ventilation aims to improve gas exchange, reduce respiratory work, and provide sedation and muscle relaxation. While achieving these goals, it is crucial to avoid ventilator-induced lung injury. Given that approximately 234 million people are mechanically ventilated during anesthesia each year, reducing the effects of anesthesia and mechanical ventilation is of great importance. Theref...
