Driving Pressure and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications

Driving Pressure Limited Ventilation Decreases Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in One-Lung Ventilation: Randomized Controlled Study

This study aims to prove that driving pressure limited ventilation is superior in preventing postoperative pulmonary complications to existing protective ventilation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults greater than or equal to 19 years
• Patient who undergoes one-lung ventilation for thoracic surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

• The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status classification greater than or equal to 4
• Patient who is contraindicated with application of positive end expiratory pressure
• Patient who rejects being enrolled in the study
