Ventilación pulmonar protectora durante la cirugía abdominal mayor: Estudio IMPROVE by José Ángel Lamsfus Prieto

“…Aunque la ventilación pulmonar protectora (VP) (volumen tidal 6 mL/Kg, presión plateau <30 cmH2O) es una recomendación aceptada en las principales guías clínicas para el tratamiento del Síndrome de Distrés Respiratorio del Adulto (SDRA), hasta ahora los resultados de esta estrategia de ventilación en cirugía se habían estudiado desde el punto de vista de desenlaces subrogados de función pulmonar o mediadores de la inflamación.
