PROtective Ventilation with a low versus high Inspiratory Oxygen fraction(PROVIO) and its effects on postoperative pulmonary complications:protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Abstract:Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) is the most common perioperative complication following surgical site infection (SSI), which prolongs the hospital stay and increases health care cost. Lung-protective ventilation strategy is considered better practice in abdominal surgery to prevent PPCs. However, the role of inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO₂) in the strategy remains disputable. Previous trials have focused on reducing SSI by increasing inhaled oxygen concentration but higher FiO₂ (80%)… Show more
