Abstract

Approaches toward lung-protective ventilation have increasingly been investigated in recent years. Despite evidence being found in adults undergoing surgery, data in younger children are still scarce and controversial. From a physiological perspective, however, the continuously changing characteristics of the respiratory system from birth through adolescence require an approach based on the analysis of each individual patient. The modern anesthesia workstation provides such information, with the technical strengths and weaknesses being discussed in a review preceding the present work (see Part I). The present summary aims to provide ideas on how to translate the information displayed on the anesthesia workstation to patient-oriented clinical ventilation settings.
