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

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

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?

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age ≥ 18 years

- All surgical procedures requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (MV)during general
anesthesia for laparoscopic or non-laparoscopic surgery.

- This includes MV performed with supra-glottic devices (e.g. laryngeal mask)

- This includes patients receiving MV at the onset of the procedure (e.g. Intensive
Care Unit patients)

- This includes patients who will receive one-lung ventilation during the procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

- Obstetric surgical procedures or any procedure during pregnancy

- Surgical procedures outside the operating room

- Surgical procedures involving extra-corporal circulation
