Low-Intensity Mechanical Ventilation in the Operating Room: a Pilot Study

Enrolling By InvitationNA

Sponsor: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Conditions: Robotic Surgery, Post Operative Pulmonary Complications

Interventions: Low Intensity Mechanical Ventilation

Countries: United States

The aim of the study is to assess whether a bundle of protective low-intensity mechanical ventilation interventions reduces perioperative atelectasis and postoperative pulmonary complications, compared with standard care in a robot-assisted surgical setting. The feasibility of this ventilation bundle will also be assessed.
