Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this international multicenter, patient and outcome-assessor blinded randomized controlled trial is to determine whether the application of an individualized high PEEP strategy, aiming at avoiding an increase in the driving pressure during intraoperative ventilation, protects against the development of postoperative pulmonary complications.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Postoperative Respiratory Complication

Intervention

Procedure:
• Individualized high PEEP strategy
Patients are randomized and intra-operatively ventilated with an individualized high PEEP strategy (Highest PEEP with the lowest driving pressure with recruitment maneuvers)

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Proportion of participants developing one or more postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs)	Severe respiratory failure; ARDS; Suspected pulmonary infection; Pulmonary infiltrate ; Pleural effusion; Atelectasis; Pneumothorax; Bronchospasm; Aspiration pneumonitis; Cardiopulmonary edema	The first 5 postoperative days
Secondary	Rate of mild respiratory failures	Defined as a PaO2 < 60 mmHg (or < 7.9 kPa) or SpO2 < 90% in room air, but responding to supplemental oxygen (excluding hypoventilation)	The first 5 postoperative days
Secondary	Proportion of participants developing one or more post-operative extra-pulmonary complications	Including sepsis (according to the SEPSIS-3 definition), septic shock (defined as sepsis with persisting hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain MAP = 65mmHg and having a serum lactate level >2 mmol/L despite adequate volume resuscitation), extra-pulmonary infection (including wound infection and any other infection), anastomic leak and acute renal failure (as defined by AKIN [Mehta RL., et al., Acute Kidney Injury Network: report of an initiative to improve outcomes in acute kidney injury. Crit Care, 2007])	The first 5 postoperative days
Secondary	Rate of intra-operative complications		For the length of the anesthesia, which will be estimated 2 to 5 hours.
Secondary	The total amount and type of intraoperative fluid administration	Type of fluids: colloids, crystalloids or blood products	For the length of the anesthesia, which will be estimated 2 to 5 hours
Secondary	Rate of all-cause mortality and in-hospital mortality		Postoperative day 5, day 30 and day 90
