Effects of individualised lung-protective ventilation with lung dynamic compliance-guided positive end-expiratory pressure titration on postoperative pulmonary complications of paediatric video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Abstract

IntroductionLung-protective ventilation strategies (LPVS) for one-lung ventilation (OLV) in paediatric patients pose greater challenges than in adults. Optimising LPVS for paediatric OLV to mitigate postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) has emerged...
