Authors: Bruno M. Ribeiro, P.T et al Anesthesiology January 2024. Background Lower FiO2 during general anesthesia can reduce lung atelectasis. The objectives are to evaluate the effect of two FiO2 (0.4 and 1) during low PEEP ventilation over lung perfusion distribution, volume, and regional ventilation. These variables were evaluated at two PEEP levels and unilateral lung atelectasis. […]
