Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The present review summarizes the current knowledge and the barriers encountered when implementing tailoring lung-protective ventilation strategies to individual patients based on advanced monitoring systems. RECENT FINDINGS Lung-protective ventilation has become a pivotal component of perioperative care, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). High-quality research has established the benefits of strategies such as low tidal volume ventilation and low driving pressures. Debate is still ongoing on the most suitable levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and the role of recruitment maneuvers. Adapting PEEP according to patient-specific factors offers potential benefits in maintaining ventilation distribution uniformity, especially in challenging scenarios like pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg positions. Advanced monitoring systems, which continuously assess patient responses and enable the fine-tuning of ventilation parameters, offer real-time data analytics to predict and prevent impending lung complications. However, their impact on postoperative outcomes, particularly PPCs, is an ongoing area of research. SUMMARY Refining protective lung ventilation is crucial to provide patients with the best possible care during surgery, reduce the incidence of PPCs, and improve their overall surgical journey.

Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) has a significant negative impact and are associated with increased length of hospital stay and cost of care. Emergency surgery is a well-established risk factor for PPC. Previous studies reported that personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) might reduce postoperative atelectasis and postoperative pulmonary complications. N = 168 adult patients undergoing major emergency laparotomy under general anesthesia were recruited in this study. A minimum driving pressure based incremental PEEP titration was compared to a fixed PEEP of 5 cmH2O. The primary outcome was PPC up to postoperative day 7. The mean (standard deviation) of the recruited patients was 41.7(16.1)y, and 48.8% (82 of 168 patients) were female. The risk of PPC at postoperative day 7 was similar in both the study groups [Relative risk (RR) (95% Confidence interval, CI) 0.81 (0.58, 1.13); p = 0.25]. In addition, the incidence of intraoperative hypotension [p = 0.75], oxygen-free days at day 28 [p = 0.27], duration of postoperative hospital stay [p = 0.50], length of postoperative intensive care unit stay [p = 0.28], and in-hospital mortality [p = 0.38] were similar in two groups. Incidence of PPC was not reduced with the use of an individualized PEEP strategy based on lowest driving pressure. However, the incidence of hypotension and bradycardia was also not increased with titrated PEEP.Trial Registration: www.ctri.nic.in ; CTRI/2020/12/029765.

Effects of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure on intraoperative oxygenation in thoracic surgical patients: study protocol for a prospective randomized controlled trial. Trials 2024; 25:19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative hypoxemia and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) often occur in patients with one-lung ventilation (OLV), due to both pulmonary shunt and atelectasis. It has been demonstrated that individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (iPEEP) can effectively improve intraoperative oxygenation, increase lung compliance, and reduce driving pressure, thereby decreasing the risk of developing PPCs. However, its effect during OLV is still unknown. Therefore, we aim to investigate whether iPEEP ventilation during OLV is superior to 5 cmH2O PEEP in terms of intraoperative oxygenation and the occurrence of PPCs. METHODS This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single-blind, single-center trial. A total of 112 patients undergoing thoracoscopic pneumonectomy surgery and OLV will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into two groups: the static lung compliance guided iPEEP titration group (Cst-iPEEP Group) and the constant 5 cmH2O PEEP group (PEEP 5 Group). The primary outcome will be the oxygenation index at 30 min after OLV and titration. Secondary outcomes are oxygenation index at other operative time points, PPCs, postoperative adverse events, ventilator parameters, vital signs, pH value, inflammatory factors, and economic indicators. DISCUSSION This trial explores the effect of iPEEP on intraoperative oxygenation during OLV and PPCs. It provides some clinical references for optimizing the lung protective ventilation strategy of OLV, improving patient prognosis, and accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many RCTs have evaluated the influence of intraoperative tidal volume (tV), PEEP, and driving pressure on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications, cardiovascular complications, and mortality in adult patients. Our meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between tV, PEEP, and driving pressure and the above-mentioned outcomes. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs from inception to May 19, 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications; the secondary outcomes were intraoperative cardiovascular complications and 30-day mortality. Primary and secondary outcomes were evaluated stratifying patients in the following groups: (1) low tV (LV, tV 6-8 ml kg-1 and PEEP ≥5 cm H2O) vs high tV (HV, tV >8 ml kg-1 and PEEP=0 cm H2O); (2) higher PEEP (HP, ≥6 cm H2O) vs lower PEEP (LP, <6 cm H2O); and (3) driving pressure-guided PEEP (DP) vs fixed PEEP (FP). RESULTS We included 16 RCTs with a total sample size of 4993. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was lower in patients treated with LV than with HV (OR=0.402, CI 0.280-0.577, P<0.001) and lower in DP than in FP group (OR=0.358, CI 0.187-0.684, P=0.002). Postoperative pulmonary complications did not differ between HP and LP groups; the incidence of intraoperative cardiovascular complications was higher in HP group (OR=1.385, CI 1.027-1.867, P=0.002). The 30-day mortality was not influenced by the ventilation strategy. CONCLUSIONS Optimal intraoperative mechanical ventilation is unclear; however, our meta-analysis showed that low tidal volume and driving pressure-guided PEEP strategies were associated with a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves respiratory mechanics. However, whether PEEP reduces postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remains unclear. We investigated whether driving pressure-guided PEEP reduces PPCs after laparoscopic/robotic abdominal surgery. METHODS This single-centre, randomised controlled trial enrolled patients at risk for PPCs undergoing laparoscopic or robotic lower abdominal surgery. The individualised group received driving pressure-guided PEEP, whereas the comparator group received 5 cm H2O fixed PEEP during surgery. Both groups received a tidal volume of 8 ml kg-1 ideal body weight. The primary outcome analysed per protocol was a composite of pulmonary complications (defined by pre-specified clinical and radiological criteria) within 7 postoperative days after surgery. RESULTS Some 384 patients (median age: 67 yr [inter-quartile range: 61-73]; 66 [18%] female) were randomised. Mean (standard deviation) PEEP in patients randomised to individualised PEEP (n=178) was 13.6 cm H2O (2.1). Individualised PEEP resulted in lower mean driving pressures (14.7 cm H2O [2.6]), compared with 185 patients randomised to standard PEEP (18.4 cm H2O [3.2]; mean difference: -3.7 cm H2O [95% confidence interval (CI): -4.3 to -3.1 cm H2O]; P<0.001). There was no difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications between individualised (25/178 [14.0%]) vs standard PEEP (36/185 [19.5%]; risk ratio [95% CI], 0.72 [0.45-1.15]; P=0.215). Pulmonary complications as a result of desaturation were less frequent in patients randomised to individualised PEEP (8/178 [4.5%], compared with standard PEEP (30/185 [16.2%], risk ratio [95% CI], 0.28 [0.13-0.59]; P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS Driving pressure-guided PEEP did not decrease the incidence of pulmonary complications within 7 days of laparoscopic or robotic lower abdominal surgery, although uncertainty remains given the lower than anticipated event rate for the primary outcome.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Postoperative pulmonary complications occur frequently and are associated with worse postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgical patients. The advantage of driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy in decreasing pulmonary complications remains to be definitively established. We aimed to investigate the effect of intraoperative driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation on pulmonary complications following on-pump cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. SETTING The West China university hospital in Sichuan, China. PATIENTS Adult patients who were scheduled for elective on-pump cardiac surgery were enrolled in the study. INTERVENTIONS Patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery were randomized to receive driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy based on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration or conventional lung-protective ventilation strategy with fixed 5 cmH2O of PEEP. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome of pulmonary complications (including acute respiratory distress syndrome, atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax) within the first 7 postoperative days were prospectively identified. Secondary outcomes included pulmonary complication severity, ICU length of stay, and in-hospital and 30-day mortality. MAIN RESULTS Between August 2020 and July 2021, we enrolled 694 eligible patients who were included in the final analysis. Postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in 140 (40.3%) patients in the driving pressure group and 142 (40.9%) in the conventional group (relative risk, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-1.18; P = 0.877). Intention-to-treat analysis showed no significant difference between study groups regarding the incidence of primary outcome. The driving pressure group had less atelectasis than the conventional group (11.5% vs 17.0%; relative risk, 0.68; 95% confidence interval, 0.47-0.98; P = 0.039). Secondary outcomes did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Among patients who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery, the use of driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy did not reduce the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications when compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation strategy.

Abstract
Purpose This study aims to compare the conventional lung protective ventilation strategy (LPVS) with driving pressure-guided ventilation in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Methods Forty-five patients undergoing elective LSG under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to the conventional LPVS group (group L) or the driving pressure-guided ventilation group (group D) using random numbers generated by Excel. The primary outcome was the driving pressure of both groups 90 min after pneumoperitoneum. Results After 30 min of pneumoperitoneum, 90 min of pneumoperitoneum, 10 min of closing the pneumoperitoneum, and restoring the supine position, the driving pressure of group L and group D were 20.0 ± 2.9 cm H2O vs 16.6 ± 3.0 cm H2O (P < 0.001), 20.7 ± 3.2 cm H2O vs 17.3 ± 2.8 cm H2O (P < 0.001), and 16.3 ± 3.1 cm H2O vs 13.3 ± 2.5 cm H2O (P = 0.001), respectively; the respiratory compliance of groups L and D were 23.4 ± 3.7 mL/cm H2O vs 27.6 ± 5.1 mL/cm H2O (P = 0.003), 22.7 ± 3.8 mL/cm H2O vs 26.4 ± 3.5 mL/cm H2O (P = 0.005), and 29.6 ± 6.8 mL/cm H2O vs 34.7 ± 5.3 mL/cm H2O (P = 0.007), respectively. The intraoperative PEEP in groups L and group D was 5 (5-5) cm H2O vs 10 (9-11) cm H2O (P < 0.001). Conclusion An individualized peep-based driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy can reduce intraoperative driving pressure and increase respiratory compliance in obese patients undergoing LSG.

BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:176. [PMID: 37217882 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02144-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurosurgical patients represent a high-risk population for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). A lower intraoperative driving pressure (DP) is related to a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications. We hypothesized that driving pressure-guided ventilation during supratentorial craniotomy might lead to a more homogeneous gas distribution in the lung postoperatively. METHODS This was a randomized trial conducted between June 2020 and July 2021 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Fifty-three patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy were randomly divided into the titration group or control group at a ratio of 1 to 1. The control group received 5 cmH2O PEEP, and the titration group received individualized PEEP targeting the lowest DP. The primary outcome was the global inhomogeneity index (GI) immediately after extubation obtained by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The secondary outcomes were lung ultrasonography scores (LUSs), respiratory system compliance, the ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) and PPCs within 3 days postoperatively. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were included in the analysis. The median (IQR [range]) DP in the titration group versus the control group was 10 (9-12 [7-13]) cmH2O vs. 11 (10-12 [7-13]) cmH2O, respectively (P = 0.040). The GI tract did not differ between groups immediately after extubation (P = 0.080). The LUSS was significantly lower in the titration group than in the control group immediately after tracheal extubation (1 [0-3] vs. 3 [1-6], P = 0.045). The compliance in the titration group was higher than that in the control group at 1 h after intubation (48 [42-54] vs. 41 [37-46] ml·cmH2O-1, P = 0.011) and at the end of surgery (46 [42-51] vs. 41 [37-44] ml·cmH2O-1, P = 0.029). The PaO2/FiO2 ratio was not significantly different between groups in terms of the ventilation protocol (P = 0.117). At the 3-day follow-up, no postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in either group. CONCLUSIONS Driving pressure-guided ventilation during supratentorial craniotomy did not contribute to postoperative homogeneous aeration, but it may lead to improved respiratory compliance and lower lung ultrasonography scores.

Abstract
To investigate whether driving pressure-guided ventilation could contribute to a more homogeneous distribution in the lung for gynecological laparoscopy. Chinese patients were randomized, after pneumoperitoneum, to receive either positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O (control group), or individualized PEEP producing the lowest driving pressure (titration group). Ventilation homogeneity is quantified as the global inhomogeneity (GI) index based on electrical impedance tomography, with a lower index implying more homogeneous ventilation. The perioperative arterial oxygenation index and respiratory system mechanics were also recorded. Blood samples were collected for lung injury biomarkers including interleukin-10, neutrophil elastase, and Clara Cell protein-16. A total of 48 patients were included for analysis. We observed a significant increase in the GI index immediately after tracheal extubation compared to preinduction in the control group (p = 0.040) but not in the titration group (p = 0.279). Furthermore, the GI index was obviously lower in the titration group than in the control group [0.390 (0.066) vs 0.460 (0.074), p = 0.0012]. The oxygenation index and respiratory compliance were significantly higher in the titration group than in the control group. No significant differences in biomarkers or hemodynamics were detected between the two groups. Driving pressure-guided PEEP led to more homogeneous ventilation, as well as improved gas exchange and respiratory compliance for patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04374162; first registration on 05/05/2020.
