Abstract
The effect of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and tidal volume settings on postoperative oxygenation and respiratory complications is unclear. In this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Turan et al. tested whether ventilation using different tidal volumes and PEEP levels affects postoperative oxygenation for adult patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. In an accompanying editorial, Musch and Vidal Melo examine the current challenges and potential applications of intraoperative protective mechanical ventilation. Cover illustration: A.
