Effect of Lung-Protective Ventilation on Changes in Regional Cerebral Oxygen Saturation During Thoracoscopic Surgery in Children: A Prospective, Single-Center, Randomized Controlled Trial
Highlights What are the main findings? For children undergoing thoracoscopic surgery with one-lung ventilation, lung-protective ventilation (4–6 mL/kg tidal volume plus 5 cmH2O PEEP) was associated with a markedly lower rate of intraoperative cerebral desaturation (≥20% fall in regional cerebral oxygen saturation), rel...
