Local Assessment of Ventilatory Management During General Anesthesia for Surgery — LAS VEGAS  

Surgery Clinical Trial

Official title: Local Assessment of Ventilatory Management During General Anesthesia for Surgery - a Prospective Observational Multi-center Cohort Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Objectives

1. To characterize mechanical ventilation practices during general anesthesia for surgery

2. To assess the dependence of intra-operative and post-operative pulmonary complications on intra-operative Mechanical Ventilation (MV) settings

Clinical Trial Description

Research questions

• What MV-settings are used during general anesthesia for surgery?

• Do MV-settings vary in and/or between centers?

• Do MV-settings vary internationally?

• Are MV-settings associated with incidence of intra-operative pulmonary complications?

• Are MV-settings associated with incidence of post-operative pulmonary complications? ;
