Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dexmedetomidine improves intrapulmonary shunt in thoracic surgery and minimizes inflammatory response during one-lung ventilation (OLV). However, it is unclear whether such benefits translate into less postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Our objective was to determine the impact of dexmedetomidine on the incidence of PPCs after thoracic surgery. METHODS Major databases were used to identify randomized trials that compared dexmedetomidine versus placebo during thoracic surgery in terms of PPCs. Our primary outcome was atelectasis within 7 days after surgery. Other specific PPCs included hypoxemia, pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Secondary outcome included intraoperative respiratory mechanics (respiratory compliance [Cdyn]) and postoperative lung function (forced expiratory volume [FEV1]). Random effects models were used to estimate odds ratios (OR). RESULTS Twelve randomized trials, including 365 patients in the dexmedetomidine group and 359 in the placebo group, were analyzed in this meta-analysis. Patients in the dexmedetomidine group were less likely to develop postoperative atelectasis (2.3% vs 6.8%, OR 0.42, 95%CI 0.18-0.95, P = 0.04; low certainty) and hypoxemia (3.4% vs 11.7%, OR 0.26, 95%CI 0.10-0.68, P = 0.01; moderate certainty) compared to the placebo group. The incidence of postoperative pneumonia (3.2% vs 5.8%, OR 0.57, 95%CI 0.25-1.26, P = 0.17; moderate certainty) or ARDS (0.9% vs 3.5%, OR 0.39, 95%CI 0.07-2.08, P = 0.27; moderate certainty) was comparable between groups. Both intraoperative Cdyn and postoperative FEV1 were higher among patients that received dexmedetomidine with a mean difference of 4.42 mL/cmH2O (95%CI 3.13-5.72) and 0.27 L (95%CI 0.12-0.41), respectively. CONCLUSION Dexmedetomidine administration during thoracic surgery may potentially reduce the risk of postoperative atelectasis and hypoxemia. However, current evidence is insufficient to demonstrate an effect on pneumonia or ARDS.

Abstract
A woman in her late 60s with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema underwent bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) with endobronchial valves (EBV) to address hyperinflation. The initial EBV placement has led to partial lobar atelectasis of the left lower lobe and resulted in significant improvement in the patient's symptoms and lung function. However, valve migration occurred later due to pneumothorax unrelated to valves, leading to suboptimal clinical improvement. The patient achieved delayed full lobar atelectasis 21 months after EBV placement, which led to a significant clinical improvement. The patient decided to be delisted from the lung transplant list due to the improvement. This case highlights the importance of considering delayed atelectasis as a possible outcome of EBV placement and suggests the need for further exploration of the long-term implications and associations of this procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of improving the operative field and postoperative atelectasis of single-lung ventilation (SLV) in the surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in infants without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 28 infants (aged 1 to 4 months, weighing between 4.2 and 6 kg) who underwent surgical repair of CoA without CPB from January 2019 to May 2022 were analyzed. Fourteen infants received SLV with a bronchial blocker (Group S), and the other 14 infants received routine endotracheal intubation and bilateral lung ventilation (Group R). RESULTS In comparison to Group R, Group S exhibited improved exposure of the operative field, a lower postoperative atelectasis score (P<0.001), reduced prevalence of hypoxemia (P=0.01), and shorter durations of operation, mechanical ventilation, and ICU stay (P=0.01, P<0.001, P=0.03). There was no difference in preoperative information or perioperative respiratory and circulatory indicators before SLV, 10 minutes after SLV, and 10 minutes after the end of SLV between the two groups (P>0.05). Intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and systolic pressure gradient across the coarctation after operation were also not different between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that employing SLV with a bronchial blocker is consistent with enhanced operative field, reduced operation duration, lower prevalence of intraoperative hypoxemia, and fewer postoperative complications during the surgical repair of CoA in infants without the use of CPB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A dedicated anesthesia protocol for bronchoscopic lung biopsy-lung navigation ventilation protocol (LNVP)-specifically designed to mitigate atelectasis and reduce unnecessary respiratory motion, has been recently described. LNVP demonstrated significantly reduced dependent ground glass, sublobar/lobar atelectasis, and atelectasis obscuring target lesions compared with conventional ventilation. METHODS In this retrospective, single-center study, we examine the impact of LNVP on 100 consecutive patients during peripheral lung lesion biopsy. We report the incidence of atelectasis using cone beam computed tomography imaging, observed ventilatory findings, anesthesia medications, and outcomes, including diagnostic yield, radiation exposure, and complications. RESULTS Atelectasis was observed in a minority of subjects: ground glass opacity atelectasis was seen in 30 patients by reader 1 (28%) and in 18 patients by reader 2 (17%), with good agreement between readers (κ = 0.78). Sublobar/lobar atelectasis was observed in 23 patients by reader 1 and 26 patients by reader 2, also demonstrating good agreement (κ = 0.67). Atelectasis obscured target lesions in very few cases: 0 patients (0%, reader 1) and 3 patients (3%, reader 2). Diagnostic yield was 85.9% based on the AQuIRE definition. Pathology demonstrated 57 of 106 lesions (54%) were malignant, 34 lesions (32%) were benign, and 15 lesions (14%) were nondiagnostic. CONCLUSION Cone beam computed tomography images confirmed low rates of atelectasis, high tool-in-lesion confirmation rate, and high diagnostic yield. LNVP has a similar safety profile to conventional bronchoscopy. Most patients will require intravenous fluid and vasopressor support. Further study of LNVP and other ventilation protocols are necessary to understand the impact of ventilation protocols on bronchoscopic peripheral lung biopsy.

Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) has a significant negative impact and are associated with increased length of hospital stay and cost of care. Emergency surgery is a well-established risk factor for PPC. Previous studies reported that personalized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) might reduce postoperative atelectasis and postoperative pulmonary complications. N = 168 adult patients undergoing major emergency laparotomy under general anesthesia were recruited in this study. A minimum driving pressure based incremental PEEP titration was compared to a fixed PEEP of 5 cmH2O. The primary outcome was PPC up to postoperative day 7. The mean (standard deviation) of the recruited patients was 41.7(16.1)y, and 48.8% (82 of 168 patients) were female. The risk of PPC at postoperative day 7 was similar in both the study groups [Relative risk (RR) (95% Confidence interval, CI) 0.81 (0.58, 1.13); p = 0.25]. In addition, the incidence of intraoperative hypotension [p = 0.75], oxygen-free days at day 28 [p = 0.27], duration of postoperative hospital stay [p = 0.50], length of postoperative intensive care unit stay [p = 0.28], and in-hospital mortality [p = 0.38] were similar in two groups. Incidence of PPC was not reduced with the use of an individualized PEEP strategy based on lowest driving pressure. However, the incidence of hypotension and bradycardia was also not increased with titrated PEEP.Trial Registration: www.ctri.nic.in ; CTRI/2020/12/029765.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis is a condition characterized by the collapse and nonaeration of lung regions and is considered a manifestation of an underlying disease process. The goal of atelectasis treatment is the restoration of volume loss. In the range of different treatment options, chest physiotherapy is often used as a first-line approach, and some cases require bronchoscopic interventions. METHODS In this case series, we describe a modified bronchoscopic treatment procedure using pressure-controlled bronchoscopic segmental insufflation with surfactant application. RESULTS The proposed approach resulted in significant improvement of lung volume across a range of patients including massive lobar, atypical rounded atelectasis in previously healthy patients, and in a particularly challenging case involving an infant suffering from spinal muscular atrophy type I. CONCLUSION The modified segmental insufflation-surfactant instillation technique offers a safe and promising easily implementable treatment of persistent atelectasis caused by different underlying disease processes with positive long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary complications is a major issue that affects outcomes of surgical patients. The hypothesis was that the intraoperative ventilation parameters are associated with occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications. METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Lille University Hospital, France. The study included 33,701 adults undergoing noncardiac, nonthoracic elective surgery requiring general anesthesia with tracheal intubation between January 2010 and December 2019. Intraoperative ventilation parameters were compared between patients with and without one or more postoperative pulmonary complications (respiratory infection, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, atelectasis, pneumothorax, bronchospasm, and aspiration pneumonitis) within 7 days of surgery. RESULTS Among 33,701 patients, 2,033 (6.0%) had one or more postoperative pulmonary complications. The lower tidal volume to predicted body weight ratio (odds ratio per -1 ml·kgPBW-1, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.14; P < 0.001), higher mechanical power (odds ratio per 4 J·min-1, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.26 to 1.49; P < 0.001), dynamic respiratory system compliance less than 30 ml·cm H2O (1.30; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.46; P < 0.001), oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry less than 96% (odds ratio, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.97 to 2.96; P < 0.001), and lower end-tidal carbon dioxide (odds ratio per -3 mmHg, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.13; P = 0.023) were independently associated with postoperative pulmonary complications. Patients with postoperative pulmonary complications were more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (odds ratio, 12.5; 95% CI, 6.6 to 10.1; P < 0.001), had longer hospital length of stay (subhazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.45), and higher in-hospital (subhazard ratio, 6.0; 95% CI, 4.1 to 9.0; P < 0.001) and 1-yr mortality (subhazard ratio, 2.65; 95% CI, 2.33 to 3.02; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In the study's population, decreased rather than increased tidal volume, decreased compliance, increased mechanical power, and decreased end-tidal carbon dioxide were independently associated with postoperative pulmonary complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined whether bronchoscopy leads to clinicoradiological improvement in cystic fibrosis (CF) and the predictive factors. The study also investigated whether pulmonary atelectasis is a poor prognostic factor in CF. METHODS This multicenter, case-control, observational, retrospective study included two groups of patients with CF: a case group (patients with persistent atelectasis who were followed-up at least for 2 years) and a control group (patients without atelectasis matched 1:1 by sex and age [±3 years]). We recorded demographic data, lung function test results, pulmonary complications, comorbidities, treatments (including bronchoscopies, surgery and transplantation), and deaths. RESULTS Each group included 55 patients (case group: 20 men, mean age 25.4 ± 10.4 years; control group: 20 men, mean age 26.1 ± 11.4 years). Bronchoscopy did not lead to clinicoradiological improvement. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) was more frequent in the case group. Patients in the case group more frequently used inhaled steroids, their pre-atelectasis lung function was statistically worse, and they had more exacerbations during follow-up. CONCLUSION Moderate-to-severe pulmonary disease and ABPA can favor atelectasis. Pulmonary atelectasis can be a poor prognostic factor in CF because it increases exacerbations. Despite our results, we recommend enhancing treatment, including bronchoscopy, to prevent persistent atelectasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atelectasis typically denotes the partial or complete collapse of lung segments, lobes, or lobules in individuals, leading to a compromised respiratory function. The prevalence of perioperative atelectasis may be significantly underestimated, particularly among patients subjected to general anesthesia. PATIENT CONCERNS This article conducts a retrospective analysis of a case involving refractory hypoxemia in a patient with a liver tumor who was admitted to Yanbian University Affiliated Hospital (Yanbian Hospital) after undergoing mild-to-moderate sedation and analgesia outside the operating room. DIAGNOSIS Based on the results of CT examination and present history, the patient was diagnosed with intraoperative atelectasis. INTERVENTION After the surgery, the patient was transferred to the recovery ward, where nasal oxygen therapy and nebulized inhalation treatment were administered. Vital signs were closely monitored at the bedside, gradually returning to the preoperative baseline. OUTCOME Postoperatively, the patient developed atelectasis, with the percentage of lung opacity shown in the image decreasing from 9.2% of the total thoracic cage area to 8.4%. CONCLUSION During non-intubated intravenous anesthesia, patients with compromised pulmonary conditions are more susceptible to refractory hypoxemia. Therefore, a personalized approach should be adopted regarding oxygen concentration and the dosage and type of medication. Additionally, preparations for appropriate airway management measures are essential to safeguard patient safety in the event of respiratory issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis after anesthesia induction in most patients undergoing general anesthesia may lead to postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and affect postoperative outcomes. However, there is still no existing effective method used for the prevention of perioperative atelectasis. S-ketamine may prevent atelectasis due to airway smooth muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory effects. Lung ultrasound is a portable and reliable bedside imaging technology for diagnosing anesthesia-induced atelectasis. The primary objective of this study is to assess whether a small dose of S-ketamine can reduce the incidence of atelectasis after intubation, and further investigate the effects of preventing the early formation of perioperative atelectasis and PPCs. METHODS This is a single-institution, prospective, randomized controlled, parallel grouping, and double-blind study. From October 2020 to March 2022, 100 patients (18-60 years old) scheduled for elective surgery will be recruited from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, and randomly assigned to the S-ketamine group (group 1) and the normal saline group (group 2) at a ratio of 1:1. The label-masked agents will be administered 5 min before induction, and all patients will undergo a standardized general anesthesia protocol. Related data will be collected at three time points: after radial artery puncture (T1), 15 min after tracheal intubation (T2), and before extubation (T3). The primary outcome will be the total lung ultrasound scores (LUS) at T2. Secondary outcomes will include LUS in six chest regions at T2, total LUS at T3, arterial blood gas analysis results (PaCO2, PaO2) and PaO2/FiO2 at T2 and T3, and plateau pressure (Pplat) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) at T2 and T3. The incidence of postoperative complications associated with S-ketamine and PPCs at 2 h and 24 h after surgery will be recorded. DISCUSSION This trial aims to explore whether a simple and feasible application of S-ketamine before the induction of general anesthesia can prevent atelectasis. The results of this study may provide new ideas and direct clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of perioperative pulmonary complications during anesthesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) frequently occur after cardiac surgery and may lead to adverse patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic tools such as auscultation or chest x-ray have inferior diagnostic accuracy compared to the gold standard (chest computed tomography). Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an emerging area of research combating these issues. However, no review has employed a formal search strategy to examine the role of LUS in identifying the specific PPCs of atelectasis, consolidation, and/or pneumonia or investigated the ability of LUS to predict these complications in this cohort. The objective of this study was to collate and present evidence for the use of LUS in the adult cardiac surgery population to specifically identify atelectasis, consolidation, and/or pneumonia. REVIEW METHOD USED A scoping review of the literature was completed using predefined search terms across six databases which identified 1432 articles. One additional article was included from reviewing reference lists. Six articles met the inclusion criteria, providing sufficient data for the final analysis. DATA SOURCES Six databases were searched: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, CENTRAL, and PEDro. This review was not registered. REVIEW METHODS The review followed the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. RESULTS Several LUS methodologies were reported across studies. Overall, LUS outperformed all other included bedside diagnostic tools, with superior diagnostic accuracy in identifying atelectasis, consolidation, and/or pneumonia. Incidences of PPCs tended to increase with each subsequent timepoint after surgery and were better identified with LUS than all other assessments. A change in diagnosis occurred at a rate of 67% with the inclusion of LUS and transthoracic echocardiography in one study. Pre-established assessment scores were improved by substituting chest x-rays with LUS scans. CONCLUSION The results of this scoping review support the use of LUS as a diagnostic tool after cardiac surgery; however, they also highlighted a lack of consistent methodologies used. Future research is required to determine the optimal methodology for LUS in diagnosing PPCs in this cohort and to determine whether LUS possesses the ability to predict these complications and guide proactive respiratory supports after extubation.

Abstract
Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) is an important approach to treating coronary heart disease. However, patients undergoing open heart surgery are at risk of postoperative complications. Cigarette smoking is one of the preoperative risk factors that may increase postoperative complications. Studies show that early mobilization intervention may reduce these complications and improve functional capacity, but the impact of smoking on early outcomes after CABG has been controversial for the past two decades. This quasi-experimental study explored the effects of early mobilization on functional capacity among patients with different smoking histories undergoing CABG. The study involved 51 participants who underwent CABG surgery, divided into three groups: current smokers, former smokers, and non-smokers (n=17 each). A day before surgery, all groups underwent a six-minute walking test (6MWT). Every participant received the same intervention after surgery, including deep breathing exercises, an upper limb range of motion assessment, an incentive spirometer, and walking with and without assistance. Five days postoperatively, all outcomes - including the 6MWT, length of stay (LOS) in the ICU, and postoperative pulmonary complications - were assessed, and the 6MWT was repeated. There was a reduced functional capacity after CABG in ex-smokers (215.8±102 m) and current smokers (272.7±97m) compared to non-smokers (298.5±97.1m) in terms of 6MWT (p<0.05). Current smokers were more likely to have atelectasis after CABG than ex-smokers (76.5% vs. 52.9%), with non-smokers being the least likely to have atelectasis among the three groups (29.4%, p<0.05). Additionally, current smokers required longer ventilator support post-CABG (11.9±7.3 hours) compared to ex-smokers (8.3±4.3 hours) and non-smokers (7±2.5 hours, p<0.01). Smoking status significantly impacts functional capacity reduction after CABG, with current smokers being more susceptible to prolonged ventilator use and atelectasis.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with an increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Postoperative noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) has been recommended to obese patients despite the controversy about its benefit. The network meta-analysis (NMA) was used in this study to compare the effect of different methods of NRS on preventing PPCs in obese patients. DESIGN This study is a network meta-analysis. SETTING Post-anesthesia care unit and inpatient ward. PATIENTS 20 randomized controlled trials involving 1184 obese patients were included in the final analysis. INTERVENTIONS One of the four NRS techniques, which include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP), high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), or conventional oxygen therapy (COT), was performed after general anesthesia. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was the incidence of PPCs, e.g., atelectasis, pneumonia, hypoxemia, and respiratory failure. The secondary outcomes included the incidence of oxygen treatment failure and anastomotic leakage, oxygenation index, and length of hospital stay (LOS). RevMan 5.3 and STATA 16.0 were used to analyze the results and any potential bias. MAIN RESULTS Compared with COT, BiPAP and HFNC were both effective in reducing the occurrence of postoperative atelectasis. There were no significant differences in the occurrence of other PPCs including pneumonia, hypoxemia and respiratory failure between the four NRS techniques. CPAP and HFNC were superior to other techniques in improving oxygenation and shortening LOS respectively. No differences were found in oxygen treatment failure and anastomotic leakage between the patients with different NRS. HFNC ranked the first in five of the eight outcomes (hypoxemia, respiratory failure, treatment failure, anastomotic leakage, LOS) in this review by the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). CONCLUSION Among the four postoperative NRS techniques, HFNC seems to be the optimal choice for obese patients which shows certain advantages in reducing the risk of PPCs and shortening LOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the quality of lung collapse, time, and number of attempts required to achieve lung isolation, and incidence of intraoperative malpositioning between the EZ blocker (EZB), Fuji Uniblocker (UB), and the left-sided double lumen tube (DLT). DESIGN Prospective, randomized clinical trial. SETTING Single tertiary-level, university-affiliated hospital. PARTICIPANTS Eighty-nine patients undergoing elective open thoracotomies or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. INTERVENTIONS The 89 patients were randomized to receive a DLT, UB, or EZB for one-lung ventilation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The quality of lung collapse at the time of pleural opening and 10 and 20 minutes thereafter were assessed by the surgeon using the Lung Collapse Score (LCS; 0 = no lung collapse to 10 = best lung collapse). The time and number of attempts required to achieve lung isolation and the number of repositions required during surgery were measured. Tracheobronchial tree measurements were performed by radiologists from preoperative computed tomography imaging. The surgeon remained blinded to the type of device used. Twenty-nine patients were randomized to the DLT group and 30 patients to each of the EZB and UB groups. The LCSs among the groups at pleural opening and 10 minutes after pleural opening were not significantly different (p = 0.34 and p = 0.08, respectively). However, at 20 minutes after the pleural opening, the LCSs were significantly different among groups (p = 0.02), with median scores being significantly lower for DLT (9 [IQR 8-9]) than for EZB (9 [IQR 9-10]; p = 0.04) and UB (9.5 [IQR 9-10]; p = 0.02). Lung isolation was achieved fastest in the DLT group (p < 0.01). The frequency of difficult placement did not significantly differ among groups, although it occurred most frequently in UB (n = 7; 23.3%). Intraoperative repositioning also occurred most often with the UB (n = 15; 50.0%). The EZB had the greatest number of cases requiring >2 repositions (n = 4, 13.3%). There were no differences between preoperative airway measurements and time to isolation or incidence of intraoperative repositioning among the groups. CONCLUSIONS The LCS was comparable among the 3 devices until 20 minutes after pleural opening, when better scores were obtained in the bronchial blocker groups. Lung isolation was achieved fastest with the DLT. The EZB had the highest incidence of cases requiring >2 intraoperative repositions, mostly occurring in R-sided surgery. For L-sided surgery, the EZB performed equally to the UB. This suggests that using the EZB for R-sided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery may be suboptimal. Preoperative airway dimensions did not correlate with time to achieve isolation or incidence of intraoperative malpositioning.

Abstract
Foreign body aspiration is relatively common in children, especially in children younger than 3 years, and it is associated with a high incidence and mortality rate. Because of impairments in swallowing, speech, and vision, more caution regarding foreign body aspiration is required in children with abnormal nervous system development. This report describes a clinically rare case involving a 6-year-old patient with delayed brain development and epilepsy who was found to have a tooth in the bronchus of the left lung through fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The tooth was successfully removed by an extraction procedure. A follow-up examination showed that the patient had a sequela of left lower lobe atelectasis. This case indicates that greater caution is necessary regarding foreign body aspiration, including dental aspiration, in patients with abnormal development of the nervous system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Upper-lung field pulmonary fibrosis (upper-PF), radiologically consistent with pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE), was reported to develop in patients with a history of asbestos exposure and tuberculous pleurisy, indicating that chronic pleuritis is correlated with upper-PF development. Round atelectasis reportedly emerges after chronic pleuritis. This study aimed to clarify the association between round atelectasis and upper-PF. METHODS We examined the radiological reports of all consecutive patients with round atelectasis between 2006 and 2018 and investigated the incidence of upper-PF development. RESULTS Among 85 patients with round atelectasis, 21 patients (24.7%) were confirmed to finally develop upper-PF lesions. Upper-PF was diagnosed after round atelectasis recognition in more than half of the patients (13/21, 61.9%), whereas upper-PF and round atelectasis were simultaneously detected in the remaining 8 patients. At the time of round atelectasis detection, almost all patients (19/21, 90.5%) had diffuse pleural thickening and round atelectasis was commonly observed in non-upper lobes of 19 patients (90.5%). Fourteen patients had round atelectasis in unilateral lung, and the remaining 7 patients had round atelectasis in bilateral lungs. Among all 14 patients with unilateral round atelectasis, upper-PF developed on the same (n = 11) or both sides (n = 3). Thus, upper-PF emerged on the same side where round atelectasis was present (14/14, 100%). The autopsy of one patient revealed a thickened parietal-visceral pleura suggestive of chronic pleuritis. Subpleural fibroelastosis was also observed. CONCLUSIONS Upper-PF occasionally develops on the same side of round atelectasis. Upper-PF may develop as a sequela of chronic pleuritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A protective intra-operative lung ventilation strategy has been widely recommended for laparoscopic surgery. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and its effects during pneumoperitoneum. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has recently been introduced as a bedside tool to monitor lung ventilation in real-time. OBJECTIVE We hypothesised that individually titrated EIT-PEEP adjusted to the surgical intervention would improve respiratory mechanics during and after surgery. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING First Medical Centre of Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing. PATIENTS Seventy-five patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery under general anaesthesia. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned 2 : 1 to individualised EIT-titrated PEEP (PEEPEIT; n = 50) or traditional PEEP 5 cmH2O (PEEP5 cmH2O; n = 25). The PEEPEIT group received individually titrated EIT-PEEP during pneumoperitoneum. The PEEP5 cmH2O group received PEEP of 5 cmH2O during pneumoperitoneum. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was respiratory system compliance during laparoscopic surgery. Secondary outcomes were individualised PEEP levels, oxygenation, respiratory and haemodynamic status, and occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) within 7 days. RESULTS Compared with PEEP5 cmH2O, patients who received PEEPEIT had higher respiratory system compliance (mean values during surgery of 44.3 ± 11.3 vs. 31.9 ± 6.6, ml cmH2O-1; P < 0.001), lower driving pressure (11.5 ± 2.1 vs. 14.0 ± 2.4 cmH2O; P < 0.001), better oxygenation (mean PaO2/FiO2 427.5 ± 28.6 vs. 366.8 ± 36.4; P = 0.003), and less postoperative atelectasis (19.4 ± 1.6 vs. 46.3 ± 14.8 g of lung tissue mass; P = 0.003). Haemodynamic values did not differ significantly between the groups. No adverse effects were observed during surgery. CONCLUSION Individualised PEEP by EIT may improve intra-operative pulmonary mechanics and oxygenation without impairing haemodynamic stability, and decrease postoperative atelectasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis affects approximately 90% of anaesthetized patients, with laparoscopic surgery and pneumoperitoneum reported to exacerbate this condition. High-frequency oscillation therapy applies continuous positive pressure pulses to oscillate the airway, creating a pressure difference in small airways obstructed by secretions. This process helps reduce peak airway pressure, open small airways, and decrease atelectasis incidence, while also facilitating respiratory tract clearance. This study examines the efficacy of high-frequency oscillation on reduction of atelectasis in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) patients under general anaesthesia, evaluated using lung ultrasound. METHODS Sixty-four patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into a control group and a high-frequency oscillation (HFO) group. Both groups underwent total intravenous anaesthesia under invasive arterial monitoring. The HFO group received a 10-minute continuous high-frequency oscillation therapy during surgery, while the control group received no intervention. Lung ultrasound evaluations were performed three times: five minutes post-intubation (T1), at the end of the surgery (T2), and before leaving the Post-Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU; T3). Blood gas analysis was performed twice: prior to induction with no oxygen supply and before PACU discharge (oxygen supply off). RESULTS The HFO group displayed a significantly lower incidence of atelectasis at T3 (57.5% vs. 90.3%, OR 6.88, 95%CI (1.74 to 27.24)) compared to the control group. Moreover, the HFO group's PaO2 levels remained consistent with baseline levels before PACU discharge, unlike the control group. Although there was no significant difference in LUS scores between the groups at T1 (8.56 ± 0.15 vs. 8.19 ± 0.18, p = 0.1090), the HFO group had considerably lower scores at T2 (13.41 ± 0.17 vs.7.59 ± 0.17, p < 0.01) and T3 (13.72 ± 0.14 vs.7.25 ± 0.21, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Our study indicates that high-frequency oscillation effectively reduces atelectasis in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Additionally, it can mitigate the decline in oxygen partial pressure associated with atelectasis.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Laparoscopic surgery, which results in less bleeding, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results, may affect the lung dynamics via the pneumoperitoneum. After laparoscopic surgery, atelectasis develops. The primary aim of the present study is to demonstrate the effects of two different ventilation modes on the development of atelectasis using lung ultrasound, and the secondary outcomes include the plateau pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, and compliance differences between the groups. Materials and Methods: In this study, 62 participants aged 18-75 years undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) group (group V) or the pressure-controlled-volume guaranteed ventilation (PCV-VG) group (group PV). The lung ultrasound score (LUS) was obtained thrice: prior to induction (T1), upon the patient's initial arrival in the recovery room (T2), and just before departing the recovery unit (T3). The hemodynamic data and mechanical ventilation parameters were recorded at different times intraoperatively. Results: The LUS score was similar between the groups at all the times. The change in the LUS score of the right lower anterior chest was statistically higher in the VCV group than the PCV group. The peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) was found to be statistically higher in the V group than the PV group five minutes after induction (T5) (20.84 ± 4.32 p = 0.021). The plateau pressure was found to be higher in the V group than the PV group at all times (after induction (Tind) 17.29 ± 5.53 p = 0.004, (T5) 17.77 ± 4.89 p = 0.001, after pneumoperitoneum (TPP) 19.71 ± 4.28 p = 0.002). Compliance was found to be statistically higher in the PV group than the V group at all times ((Tind) 48.87 ± 15.37 p = 0.011, (T5) 47.94 ± 13.71 p = 0.043, (TPP) 35.65 ± 6.90 p = 0.004). Before and after the pneumoperitoneum, the compliance was determined to be lower in the V group than the PV group, respectively (40.68 ± 13.91 p = 0.043, 30.77 ± 5.73 p = 0.004). Conclusions: LUS score was similar between groups at all times. The PCV-VG mode was superior to the VCV mode in providing optimal ventilatory pressures and maintaining high dynamic compliance in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopy induces atelectasis. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can alleviate atelectasis but may cause hyperinflation. Cyclic opening of collapsed alveoli and hyperinflation can lead to ventilator-induced lung injury and postoperative pulmonary complications. We aimed to study the effect of PEEP on atelectasis, lung stress, and hyperinflation during laparoscopy in the head-down (Trendelenburg) position. METHODS An open-label, repeated-measures, interventional, physiological cohort trial was designed. All participants were recruited from a single tertiary Belgian university hospital. Twenty-three nonobese patients scheduled for laparoscopy in the Trendelenburg position were recruited.We applied a decremental PEEP protocol: 15 (high), 10 and 5 (low) cm H 2 O. Atelectasis was studied with the lung ultrasound score, the end-expiratory transpulmonary pressure, the arterial oxygen partial pressure to fraction of inspired oxygen concentration (P ao2 /Fi o2 ) ratio, and the dynamic respiratory system compliance. Global hyperinflation was evaluated by dead space volume, and regional ventilation was evaluated by lung ultrasound. Lung stress was estimated using the transpulmonary driving pressure and dynamic compliance. Data are reported as medians (25th-75th percentile). RESULTS At 15, 10, and 5 cm H 2 O PEEP, the respective measurements were: lung ultrasound scores (%) 11 (0-22), 27 (11-39), and 53 (42-61) ( P < .001); end-expiratory transpulmonary pressures (cm H 2 O) 0.9 (-0.6 to 1.7), -0.3 (-2.0 to 0.7), and -1.9 (-4.6 to -0.9) ( P < .001); P ao2 /Fi o2 ratios (mm Hg) 471 (435-538), 458 (410-537), and 431 (358-492) ( P < .001); dynamic respiratory system compliances (mL/cm H 2 O) 32 (26-36), 30 (25-34), and 27 (22-30) ( P < .001); driving pressures (cm H 2 O) 8.2 (7.5-9.5), 9.3 (8.5-11.1), and 11.0 (10.3-12.2) ( P < .001); and alveolar dead space ventilation fractions (%) 10 (9-12), 10 (9-12), and 9 (8-12) ( P = .23). The lung ultrasound score was similar between apical and basal lung regions at each PEEP level ( P = .76, .37, and .76, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Higher PEEP levels during laparoscopy in the head-down position facilitate lung-protective ventilation. Atelectasis and lung stress are reduced in the absence of global alveolar hyperinflation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis is a common complication after upper abdominal surgery and considered as a cause of early postoperative fever (EPF) within 48 hours after surgery. However, the pathophysiologic mechanism of how atelectasis causes fever remains unclear. STUDY DESIGN Data for adult patients who underwent elective major upper abdominal surgery under general anesthesia at Seoul National University Hospital between January and December of 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was the association between fever and atelectasis within 2 days after surgery. RESULTS Of 1,624 patients, 810 patients (49.9%) developed EPF. The incidence of atelectasis was similar between the fever group and the no-fever group (51.6% vs 53.9%, p = 0.348). Multivariate analysis showed no significant association between atelectasis and EPF. Culture tests (21.7% vs 8.8%, p < 0.001) and prolonged use of antibiotics (25.9% vs 13.9%, p < 0.001) were more frequent in the fever group compared to the no-fever group. However, the frequency of bacterial growth on culture tests and postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 days were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS EPF after major upper abdominal surgery was not associated with radiologically detected atelectasis. EPF also was not associated with the increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, bacterial growth on culture studies, or prolonged length of hospital stay.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a common cause of morbidity. Postoperative atelectasis is thought to be a significant risk factor in their development. Recent imaging studies suggest that patients' extubation may result in similar postoperative atelectasis regardless of the intraoperative mechanical ventilation strategy used. In this pilot trial, we hypothesized that a study investigating the effects of an open lung extubation strategy compared with a conventional one on PPCs would be feasible. METHODS We conducted a pilot, single-centre, double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Adult patients at moderate to high risk of PPCs and scheduled for elective surgery were eligible. Patients were randomized to an open lung extubation strategy (semirecumbent position, fraction of inspired oxygen [FIO2] 50%, pressure support ventilation, unchanged positive end-expiratory pressure) or to a conventional extubation strategy (dorsal decubitus position, FIO2 100%, manual bag ventilation). The primary feasibility outcome was global protocol adherence while the primary exploratory efficacy outcome was PPCs. RESULTS We randomized 35 patients to the conventional extubation group and 34 to the open lung extubation group. We observed a global protocol adherence of 96% (95% confidence interval, 88 to 99), which was not different between groups. Eight PPCs occurred (two in the conventional extubation group vs six in the open lung extubation group). Less postoperative supplemental oxygen and better lung aeration were observed in the open lung extubation group. CONCLUSIONS In this single-centre pilot trial, we observed excellent feasibility. A multicentre pilot trial comparing the effect of an open lung extubation strategy with that of a conventional extubation strategy on the occurrence of PPCs is feasible. STUDY REGISTRATION DATE ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04993001); registered 6 August 2021.

Abstract
Pulmonary gas exchange in breath-hold diving (BHD) consists of a progressive increase in arterial partial pressures of oxygen ([Formula: see text]) and carbon dioxide ([Formula: see text]) during descent. However, recent findings have demonstrated that [Formula: see text] does not consistently rise in all subjects. This study aimed at verifying and explaining [Formula: see text] derangements during BHD analyzing arterial blood gases and searching for pulmonary alterations with lung ultrasound. After ethical approval, 14 fit breath-hold divers were included. Experiments were performed in warm water (temperature: 31°C). We analyzed arterial blood gases immediately before, at depth, and immediately after a breath-hold dive to -15 m of fresh water (mfw) and -42 mfw. Signs of lung interstitial edema and atelectasis were searched simultaneously with a marinized lung ultrasound. In five subjects (-15 mfw) and four subjects (-42 mfw), the [Formula: see text] at depth seems to decrease instead of increasing. [Formula: see text] and lactate showed slight variations. At depth, no lung ultrasound alterations were seen except in one subject (hypoxemia and B-lines at -15 mfw; B-lines at the surface). Lung interstitial edema was detected in 3 and 12 subjects after resurfacing from -15 to -42 mfw, respectively. Two subjects developed hypoxemia at depth and a small lung atelectasis (a focal pleural irregularity of triangular shape, surrounded by thickened B-lines) after resurfacing from -42 mfw. Current experiments confirmed that some BH divers can experience hypoxemia at depth. The hypothesized explanation for such a discrepancy is lung atelectasis, which could not be detected in all subjects probably due to limited time available at depth.NEW & NOTEWORTHY During breath-hold diving, arterial partial pressure of oxygen ([Formula: see text]) and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide ([Formula: see text]) are believed to increase progressively during descent, as explained by theory, previous end-tidal alveolar gas measurements, and arterial blood gas analysis in hyperbaric chambers. Recent experiments in real underwater environment found a paradoxical [Formula: see text] drop at depth in some divers. This work confirms that some breath-hold divers can experience hypoxemia at depth. The hypothesized explanation for such a discrepancy is lung atelectasis, as suggested by lung ultrasound findings.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Postoperative pulmonary complications occur frequently and are associated with worse postoperative outcomes in cardiac surgical patients. The advantage of driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy in decreasing pulmonary complications remains to be definitively established. We aimed to investigate the effect of intraoperative driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation on pulmonary complications following on-pump cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective, two-arm, randomized controlled trial. SETTING The West China university hospital in Sichuan, China. PATIENTS Adult patients who were scheduled for elective on-pump cardiac surgery were enrolled in the study. INTERVENTIONS Patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery were randomized to receive driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy based on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration or conventional lung-protective ventilation strategy with fixed 5 cmH2O of PEEP. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome of pulmonary complications (including acute respiratory distress syndrome, atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax) within the first 7 postoperative days were prospectively identified. Secondary outcomes included pulmonary complication severity, ICU length of stay, and in-hospital and 30-day mortality. MAIN RESULTS Between August 2020 and July 2021, we enrolled 694 eligible patients who were included in the final analysis. Postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in 140 (40.3%) patients in the driving pressure group and 142 (40.9%) in the conventional group (relative risk, 0.99; 95% confidence interval, 0.82-1.18; P = 0.877). Intention-to-treat analysis showed no significant difference between study groups regarding the incidence of primary outcome. The driving pressure group had less atelectasis than the conventional group (11.5% vs 17.0%; relative risk, 0.68; 95% confidence interval, 0.47-0.98; P = 0.039). Secondary outcomes did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Among patients who underwent on-pump cardiac surgery, the use of driving pressure-guided ventilation strategy did not reduce the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications when compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation strategy.

Abstract
An 80-year-old man with surgical history of colon cancer was referred to our department for surgical treatment for multiple metastatic lung tumors in the left upper lobe. The patient had been showing complete atelectasis of the left lower lung lobe one year prior to the consultation. Six months after wedge resections for the pulmonary metastases, the left lower lobe was re-expanded, showing bronchiectasis with rudimentary pulmonary artery branches. Further, the ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy showed decreased uptake in the left lower lobe. These findings indicated that the patient had the hypoplasia of the left lower lobe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by dynamic compliance improves oxygenation and reduces postoperative atelectasis in nonobese patients. The authors hypothesized that dynamic compliance-guided PEEP could also reduce postoperative atelectasis in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. METHODS Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery were eligible. Dynamic compliance-guided PEEP titration was conducted in all patients using a downward approach. A recruitment maneuver (PEEP from 10 to 25 cm H2O at 5-cm H2O step every 30 s, with 15-cm H2O driving pressure) was conducted both before and after the titration. Patients were then randomized (1:1) to undergo surgery under dynamic compliance-guided PEEP (PEEP with highest dynamic compliance plus 2 cm H2O) or PEEP of 8 cm H2O. The primary outcome was postoperative atelectasis, as assessed with computed tomography at 60 to 90 min after extubation, and expressed as percentage to total lung tissue volume. Secondary outcomes included Pao2/inspiratory oxygen fraction (Fio2) and postoperative pulmonary complications. RESULTS Forty patients (mean ± SD; 28 ± 7 yr of age; 25 females; average body mass index, 41.0 ± 4.7 kg/m2) were enrolled. Median PEEP with highest dynamic compliance during titration was 15 cm H2O (interquartile range, 13 to 17; range, 8 to 19) in the entire sample of 40 patients. The primary outcome of postoperative atelectasis (available in 19 patients in each group) was 13.1 ± 5.3% and 9.5 ± 4.3% in the PEEP of 8 cm H2O and dynamic compliance-guided PEEP groups, respectively (intergroup difference, 3.7%; 95% CI, 0.5 to 6.8%; P = 0.025). Pao2/Fio2 at 1 h after pneumoperitoneum was higher in the dynamic compliance-guided PEEP group (397 vs. 337 mmHg; group difference, 60; 95% CI, 9 to 111; P = 0.017) but did not differ between the two groups 30 min after extubation (359 vs. 375 mmHg; group difference, -17; 95% CI, -53 to 21; P = 0.183). The incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was 4 of 20 in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative atelectasis was lower in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under dynamic compliance-guided PEEP versus PEEP of 8 cm H2O. Postoperative Pao2/Fio2 did not differ between the two groups. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prerequisites for the early formation of anaesthesia-related atelectasis are pre-oxygenation with its resulting high alveolar oxygen content, and airway closure. Airway closure increases with age, so it seems counterintuitive that atelectasis formation during anaesthesia does not. One proposed explanation is that pre-oxygenation is impaired in the elderly by airway closure present in the waking state. The extent of airway closure cannot be assessed at the bedside, but arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( Pa O 2 ) as a surrogate variable of the resulting ventilation to perfusion mismatch can. OBJECTIVE The primary aim was to test the hypothesis that a decreased efficacy of pre-oxygenation, measured as the fraction of end-tidal oxygen (F E' O 2 ) after 3 min of pre-oxygenation, correlates with decreased Pa O 2 on room air. We also re-investigated the influence on F E' O 2 by age. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Two regional hospitals, Västerås and Köping County Hospitals, Västmanland, Sweden, between 30 October 2018 and 17 September 2021. PARTICIPANTS We included 120 adults aged 40 to 79 years presenting for elective noncardiac surgery. INTERVENTION An arterial blood gas was sampled before commencing pre-oxygenation. RESULTS No linear correlation was found between F E' O 2 at 3 min and Pa O 2 or age (Pearson's r = -0.038, P = 0.684; and Pearson's r = -0.113, P = 0.223, respectively). The mean ± SD F E' O 2 at 3 min for the population studied was 0.87 ± 0.05. CONCLUSION The lack of correlation between F E' O 2 at 3 min and Pa O 2 or age during pre-oxygenation has implications for further studies concerning the interaction between airway closure and atelectasis. After 3 min of pre-oxygenation, F E' O 2 , even in the elderly, indicated a high enough alveolar oxygen concentration to promote atelectasis after induction, therefore, it is still unclear why atelectasis formation diminishes after middle age.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Plastic bronchitis (PB) is a rare disease in children, and reliable data are scarce. Here, we aimed to analyze the clinical features, management, and outcomes in children with PB. METHODS The medical data of patients who were followed up with a diagnosis of PB between January 2010 and March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS The median age of 15 patients was 9 (interquartile range: 4-10) years with a male/female ratio of 12/3. Initial symptoms included recurrent pneumonia (33.3%), persistent atelectasis (33.3%), cast expectoration (26.6%), and intense, persistent cough (6.6%). The most common underlying diagnosis was asthma (n = 12, 80%), and six of the patients were newly diagnosed. The most common radiological findings were atelectasis as a consequence of major airway obstruction on chest X-ray or computed tomography. Five patients, all diagnosed as having asthma, had recurrent PB and required multiple airway procedures for treatment and diagnosis. During a median 7-year follow-up of five patients, occasionally cast expectoration was observed in one patient with asthma who had poor compliance with inhaled corticosteroids. CONCLUSION PB is a common reflection of the different underlying etiologies in the pediatric age group, and treatment and outcomes are closely related to these. It should be kept in mind that asthma can be a predisposing factor for the development of PB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is the ongoing debate over the effect of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) during mechanical ventilation on postoperative atelectasis. We aimed to compare the effects of low (30%) and moderate (60%) FiO2 on postoperative atelectasis. The hypothesis of the study was that 30% FiO2 during mechanical ventilation could reduce postoperative atelectasis volume compared with 60% FiO2. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial with 120 patients. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive 30% or 60% FiO2 during mechanical ventilation in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome was the percentage of postoperative atelectasis volume in the total lung measured using chest CT within 30 min after extubation. The secondary outcomes included different aeration region volumes, incidence of clinically significant atelectasis, and oxygenation index. RESULTS In total, 113 subjects completed the trial, including 55 and 58 subjects in the 30% and 60% FiO2 groups, respectively. The percentage of the postoperative atelectasis volume in the 30% FiO2 group did not differ from that in the 60% FiO2 group. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the atelectasis volume between the two groups after the missing data were imputed by multiple imputation. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the volumes of the over-aeration, normal-aeration, and poor-aeration regions between the groups. No significant differences in the incidence of clinically significant atelectasis or oxygenation index at the end of surgery were observed between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with 60% FiO2, the use of 30% FiO2 during mechanical ventilation does not reduce the postoperative atelectasis volume.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the risk factors for pulmonary atelectasis in adults with tracheobronchial tuberculosis(TBTB). Methods: Clinical data of adult patients (≥18 years old) with TBTB from February 2018 to December 2021 in Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 258 patients were included, with a male to female ratio of 1∶1.43. The median age was 31(24, 48) years. Clinical data including clinical characteristics, previous misdiagnoses/missed diagnoses before admission, pulmonary atelectasis, the time from symptom onset to atelectasis and bronchoscopy, bronchoscopy and interventional treatment were collected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they had pulmonary atelectasis. Differences between the two groups were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for pulmonary atelectasis. Results: The prevalence of pulmonary atelectasis was 14.7%, which was most common in the left upper lobe (26.3%). The median time from symptom onset to atelectasis was 130.50(29.75,358.50)d, and the median time from atelectasis to bronchoscopy was 5(3,7)d. The median age, the proportion of misdiagnosis of TBTB before admission, and the time from symptom onset to bronchoscopy in the atelectasis group were higher than those without atelectasis, and the proportion of receiving bronchoscopy examination and interventional therapy previously, and the proportion of pulmonary cavities were lower than those without atelectasis (all P<0.05). The proportions of cicatrices stricture type and lumen occlusion type in the atelectasis group were higher than those without atelectasis, while the proportions of inflammatory infiltration type and ulceration necrosis type were lower than those without atelectasis (all P<0.05). Older age (OR=1.036, 95%CI: 1.012-1.061), previous misdiagnosis(OR=2.759, 95%CI: 1.100-6.922), longer time from symptom onset to bronchoscopy examination (OR=1.002, 95%CI: 1.000-1.005) and cicatrices stricture type (OR=2.989, 95%CI: 1.279-6.985) were independent risk factors for pulmonary atelectasis in adults with TBTB (all P<0.05). Of the patients with atelectasis who underwent bronchoscopy interventional therapy, 86.7% had lung reexpansion or partial reexpansion. Conclusions: The prevalence of pulmonary atelectasis is 14.7% in adult patients with TBTB. The most common site of atelectasis is left upper lobe. The TBTB type of lumen occlusion is complicated by pulmonary atelectasis in 100% of cases. Being older, misdiagnosed as other diseases, longer time from onset of symptoms to bronchoscopy examination, and being the cicatrices stricture type are factors for developing pulmonary atelectasis. Early diagnosis and treatment are needed to reduce the incidence of pulmonary atelectasis and increase the rate of pulmonary reexpansion.

Abstract
In infants as well as in older children, persistent or recurrent atelectasis remains a classic indication for sweat testing, even if neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis has been considered normal. Atelectasis is a common complication of cystic fibrosis. Yet, it has rarely been reported in infants. In cystic fibrosis, chronic atelectasis worsens the prognosis, especially when involving a lower lobe. Therefore, early and effective intervention is required. Antibiotic therapy, intensive chest physiotherapy together with inhaled mucolytics often allow to relieve bronchial obstruction but bronchoscopy with local aspiration and Dornase alpha instillation is sometimes necessary. In a two-month-old infant, we describe here the first reported case of false-negative cystic fibrosis newborn screening in Belgium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumoperitoneum is a risk factor for perioperative atelectasis in infants. This research aimed to investigate whether lung recruitment manoeuvres guided by ultrasound are more effective for young infants (<3 months) during laparoscopy under general anaesthesia. METHODS Young infants (<3 months) undergoing general anaesthesia during laparoscopic surgery (>2 h) were randomised to either conventional lung recruitment (control group) or ultrasound-guided lung recruitment (ultrasound group) once per hour. Mechanical ventilation was started with a tidal volume of 8 mL·kg-1, positive end-expiratory pressure of 6 cm H2O and 40% inspired oxygen fraction. Lung ultrasound (LUS) was performed four times (T1 was performed 5 min after intubation and before pneumoperitoneum set, T2 was performed after pneumoperitoneum, T3 was performed 1 min after surgery, and T4 was performed before being discharged from post-anaesthesia care unit [PACU]) in each infant. The primary outcome was the incidence of significant atelectasis at T3 and T4 (defined by LUS consolidation score ≥ 2 in any region). RESULTS 62 babies were enrolled in the experiment and 60 infants were included in the analysis. Before the recruitment, atelectasis was similar between infants randomised to the control or ultrasound group at T1 (83.3% vs 80.0%; P = 0.500) and T2 (83,3% vs 76.7%; P = 0.519). The incidence of atelectasis at T3 and T4 were lower in the ultrasound group (26.7% and 33.3%), compared with infants randomised to conventional lung recruitment (66.7% and 70%) (P = 0.002; P = 0.004; respectively). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound-guided alveolar recruitment reduced the perioperative incidence of atelectasis in infants <3 months during laparoscopy under general anaesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction using endobronchial valves (EBV) is a treatment option for selected patients with advanced emphysema. The treatment significantly improves pulmonary function, exercise capacity, quality of life, and potentially improves survival. Our main aim was to assess whether treatment response significantly influences survival time after EBV treatment. METHODS We evaluated treatment response at 6-week and 1-year follow-up of all patients treated with EBVs between 2008 and 2020. Survival status was retrieved on December 1, 2021. Patients were defined as responders or non-responders based on known minimal important differences for FEV1, residual volume (RV), RV/Total Lung Capacity (TLC) ratio, 6-min walk distance (6MWD), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), target lobe volume reduction (TLVR), and complete lobar atelectasis. Uni- and multivariate cox regression models were used to evaluate the effect of response on survival time. RESULTS A total of 428 patients were included. EBV treatment resulted in significant improvements in pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life. Median survival was 8.2 years after treatment. SGRQ and 6MWD response were independent predictors for improved survival time (Hazard Ratio (HR) 0.50 [0.28-0.89], p = .02 and HR 0.54 [0.30-0.94], p = .03, respectively). The presence of a complete lobar atelectasis did not significantly affect survival, neither did pulmonary function improvements. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that improvement in exercise capacity and quality of life after EBV treatment are associated with a survival benefit, independent of improvements in pulmonary function, reduction in target lobe volume or the presence of complete lobar atelectasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with obesity, use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) > 5 cm H2 O (centimeters of water) has been shown to prevent intraoperative atelectasis. This study compares the rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) associated with PEEP > 5 cm H2 O and PEEP ≤ 5 cm H2 O in patients with obesity who underwent surgery under general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. METHODS This study searched Medline, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) using the terms "PEEP," "anesthesia," and "ventilation." Cochrane ReviewManager (RevMan) version 5 was used for data analysis. The primary outcome was a composite of PPCs, including atelectasis, pneumonia, pneumothorax, and acute respiratory failure. RESULTS The initial search identified 903 titles and abstracts, and 4 randomized controlled trials were included for analysis. We included a total of 2116 participants from four randomized controlled trials that compared PEEP ≤ 5 cm H2 O with PEEP > 5 cm H2 O in adult patients with obesity. There was no statistically significant difference in PPCs between the PEEP ≤ 5 cm H2 O and PEEP > 5 cm H2 O groups (risk ratio = 2.21, 95% CI: 0.41-11.83; p = 0.35). However, a significant heterogeneity was found within included studies (I2 = 53%). CONCLUSIONS It is unclear whether PEEP > 5 cm H2 O improves the postoperative clinical outcome in patients with obesity, which is in contrast to previously established evidence that it reduces atelectasis in patients with obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to a recent meta-analysis, in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, a high fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) did not increase postoperative atelectasis. However, a high FiO2 generally increases the risk of postoperative atelectasis. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of FiO2 on the development of atelectasis in obese patients using the modified lung ultrasound score (LUSS). METHODS Patients were assigned to 4 groups: BMI ≥ 30: group A (n = 21) and group B (n = 20) and normal BMI: group C (n = 22) and group D (n = 21). Groups A and C were administered 100% O2 during preinduction and emergence and 50% O2 during anesthesia. Groups B and D received 40% O2 for anesthesia. The modified LUSS was assessed before and 20 min after arrival to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). RESULTS The difference between the modified LUSS preinduction and PACU was significantly higher in group A with a BMI ≥ 30 (P = .006); however, there was an insignificant difference between groups C and D in the normal BMI group (P = .076). CONCLUSION High FiO2 had a greater effect on the development of atelectasis in obese patients than did low FiO2; however, in normal-weight individuals, FiO2 did not have a significant effect on postoperative atelectasis.

Abstract
Atelectasis is the most occurring postoperative complication after cardiac surgeries. Postoperative respiratory exercises and incentive spirometry led to decrease in postoperative complications, especially atelectasis and hospital stay. The objectives of the study were to evaluate postoperative complications and length of hospital stay of patients who received pre and postoperative nurse-guided incentive spirometry against those of patients who received pre and postoperative breathing exercises by the physiotherapist in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Data of patients who received 2 days preoperative and 2 days postoperative nurse-guided incentive spirometry with a spirometer (PPN cohort, n = 102) or received 2 days preoperative and 2 days postoperative breathing exercises by physiotherapist without spirometer (PPP cohort, n = 105), or 2 days postoperative physiotherapist-guided breathing exercises only without spirometer (PPB cohort, n = 114) were collected and analyzed. The acute or chronic collapse of part or entire lung was defined as atelectasis. The length of stay in the hospital was from the day of admission to discharge. Patients of the PPN cohort had fewer numbers of incidences of atelectasis, dyspnea, and sweating >1 day after operations compared to those of the PPB and the PPP cohorts (P < .05 for all). The partial pressure of oxygen and oxygen saturation of arterial blood ≥6 hours after operations reported higher, the duration of ventilation was shorter, and numbers of re-intubation processes reported fewer for patients of the PPN cohort than those of the PPB and the PPP cohorts (P < .05 for all). The hospital length of the stay of patients in the PPN cohort was fewer than those of the PPB and the PPP (P < .0001 for both) cohorts. Pre and postoperative nurse-guided incentive spirometry with a spirometer following cardiac surgeries would have better postoperative pulmonary outcomes and fewer hospital stays than those of postoperative-only or pre and postoperative physiotherapist-guided breathing exercises (level of evidence: IV; technical efficacy stage: 5).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis negatively influences peripheral bronchoscopy, increasing CT scan-body divergence, obscuring targets, and creating false-positive radial-probe endobronchial ultrasound (RP-EBUS) images. RESEARCH QUESTION Can a ventilatory strategy reduce the incidence of atelectasis during bronchoscopy under general anesthesia? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Randomized controlled study (1:1) in which patients undergoing bronchoscopy were randomized to receive standard ventilation (laryngeal mask airway, 100% Fio2, zero positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP]) vs a ventilatory strategy to prevent atelectasis (VESPA) with endotracheal intubation followed by a recruitment maneuver, Fio2 titration (< 100%), and PEEP of 8 to 10 cm H2O. All patients underwent chest CT imaging and a survey for atelectasis with RP-EBUS bilaterally on bronchial segments 6, 9, and 10 after artificial airway insertion (time 1) and 20 to 30 min later (time 2). Chest CT scans were reviewed by a blinded chest radiologist. RP-EBUS images were assessed by three independent, blinded readers. The primary end point was the proportion of patients with any atelectasis (either unilateral or bilateral) at time 2 according to chest CT scan findings. RESULTS Seventy-six patients were analyzed, 38 in each group. The proportion of patients with any atelectasis according to chest CT scan at time 2 was 84.2% (95% CI, 72.6%-95.8%) in the control group and 28.9% (95% CI, 15.4%-45.9%) in the VESPA group (P < .0001). The proportion of patients with bilateral atelectasis at time 2 was 71.1% (95% CI, 56.6%-85.5%) in the control group and 7.9% (95% CI, 1.7%-21.4%) in the VESPA group (P < .0001). At time 2, 3.84 ± 1.67 (mean ± SD) bronchial segments in the control group vs 1.21 ± 1.63 in the VESPA group were deemed atelectatic (P < .0001). No differences were found in the rate of complications. INTERPRETATION VESPA significantly reduced the incidence of atelectasis, was well tolerated, and showed a sustained effect over time despite bronchoscopic nodal staging maneuvers. VESPA should be considered for bronchoscopy when atelectasis is to be avoided. TRIAL REGISTRY ClinicalTrials.gov; No.: NCT04311723; URL: www. CLINICALTRIALS gov.

Abstract
Objectives New ventilation modes have been proposed to support the perioperative treatment of patients with obesity, but there is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal strategy. Therefore, a network meta-analysis update of 13 ventilation strategies was conducted to determine the optimal mode of mechanical ventilation as a protective ventilation strategy decreases pulmonary atelectasis caused by inflammation. Methods The following databases were searched: MEDLINE; Cochrane Library; Embase; CINAHL; Google Scholar; and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials of mechanical ventilation in patients with obesity published up to May 1, 2022. Results Volume-controlled ventilation with individualized positive end-expiratory pressure and a recruitment maneuver (VCV+PEEPind+RM) was found to be the most effective strategy for improving ratio of the arterial O2 partial pressure to the inspiratory O2 concentration (PaO2/FiO2), and superior to pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), volume-controlled ventilation (VCV), volume-controlled ventilation with recruitment maneuver (VCV+RM), volume-controlled ventilation with low positive end-expiratory pressure (VCV+lowPEEP), volume-controlled ventilation with lower positive expiratory end pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuver (VCV+lowPEEP+RM), and the mean difference [MD], the 95% confidence intervals [CIs] and [quality of evidence] were: 162.19 [32.94, 291.45] [very low]; 180.74 [59.22, 302.27] [low]; 171.07 [40.60, 301.54] [very low]; 135.14 [36.10, 234.18] [low]; and 139.21 [27.08, 251.34] [very low]. Surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) value showed VCV+PEEPind+RM was the best strategy for improving PaO2/FiO2 (SUCRA: 0.963). VCV with high positive PEEP and recruitment maneuver (VCV+highPEEP+RM) was more effective in decreasing postoperative pulmonary atelectasis than the VCV+lowPEEP+RM strategy. It was found that volume-controlled ventilation with high positive expiratory end pressure (VCV+highPEEP), risk ratio [RR] [95% CIs] and [quality of evidence], 0.56 [0.38, 0.81] [moderate], 0.56 [0.34, 0.92] [moderate]. SUCRA value ranked VCV+highPEEP+RM the best strategy for improving postoperative pulmonary atelectasis intervention (SUCRA: 0.933). It should be noted that the quality of evidence was in all cases very low or only moderate. Conclusions This research suggests that VCV+PEEPind+RM is the optimal ventilation strategy for patients with obesity and is more effective in increasing PaO2/FiO2, improving lung compliance, and among the five ventilation strategies for postoperative atelectasis, VCV+highPEEP+RM had the greatest potential to reduce atelectasis caused by inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individualised PEEP may optimise pulmonary compliance, thereby potentially mitigating lung injury. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the impact of individualised PEEP vs fixed PEEP during abdominal surgery on postoperative pulmonary outcomes. METHODS Medical databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched for RCTs comparing fixed vs individualised PEEP. The composite primary outcome of pulmonary complications comprised hypoxaemia, atelectasis, pneumonia, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Secondary outcomes included oxygenation (PaO2/FiO2) and systemic inflammatory markers (interleukin-6 [IL-6] and club cell protein-16 [CC16]). We calculated risk ratios (RRs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using DerSimonian and Laird random effects models. Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was applied. RESULTS Ten RCTs (n=1117 patients) met the criteria for inclusion, with six reporting the primary endpoint. Individualised PEEP reduced the incidence of overall pulmonary complications (141/412 [34.2%]) compared with 183/415 (44.1%) receiving fixed PEEP (RR 0.69 [95% CI: 0.51-0.93]; P=0.016; I2=43%). Risk-of-bias analysis did not alter these findings. Individualised PEEP reduced postoperative hypoxaemia (74/392 [18.9%]) compared with 110/395 (27.8%) participants receiving fixed PEEP (RR 0.68 [0.52-0.88]; P=0.003; I2=0%) but not postoperative atelectasis (RR 0.93 [0.81-1.07]; P=0.297; I2=0%). Individualised PEEP resulted in higher PaO2/FiO2 (MD 20.8 mm Hg [4.6-36.9]; P=0.012; I2=80%) and reduced systemic inflammation (lower plasma IL-6 [MD -6.8 pg ml-1; -11.9 to -1.7]; P=0.009; I2=6%; and CC16 levels [MD -6.2 ng ml-1; -8.8 to -3.5]; P<0.001; I2=0%) at the end of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Individualised PEEP may reduce pulmonary complications, improve oxygenation, and reduce systemic inflammation after abdominal surgery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION CRD42021277973.

Abstract
Biophysical insults that either reduce barrier function (COVID-19, smoke inhalation, aspiration, and inflammation) or increase mechanical stress (surfactant dysfunction) make the lung more susceptible to atelectrauma. We investigate the susceptibility and time-dependent disruption of barrier function associated with pulmonary atelectrauma of epithelial cells that occurs in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). This in vitro study was performed using Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) as a noninvasive evaluating technique for repetitive stress stimulus/response on monolayers of the human lung epithelial cell line NCI-H441. Atelectrauma was mimicked through recruitment/derecruitment (RD) of a semi-infinite air bubble to the fluid-occluded micro-channel. We show that a confluent monolayer with a high level of barrier function is nearly impervious to atelectrauma for hundreds of RD events. Nevertheless, barrier function is eventually diminished, and after a critical number of RD insults, the monolayer disintegrates exponentially. Confluent layers with lower initial barrier function are less resilient. These results indicate that the first line of defense from atelectrauma resides with intercellular binding. After disruption, the epithelial layer community protection is diminished and atelectrauma ensues. ECIS may provide a platform for identifying damaging stimuli, ventilation scenarios, or pharmaceuticals that can reduce susceptibility or enhance barrier-function recovery.

Abstract
Purpose The non-local anesthetic effects of lidocaine have been widely reported, but there are still few studies on lung protection. We aimed to test the hypothesis that intravenous infusion of lidocaine exerts lung-protective effects in patients at intermediate/high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) on major abdominal surgery. Patients and Methods Patients ≥18 years, ASA II or III, with intermediate/high risk for PPCs, were included. Patients were randomly assigned into group lidocaine (received a bolus of lidocaine 1.5 mg kg−1 before the induction of anesthesia, then followed by a continuous infusion of 2.0 mg kg−1 h−1 intraoperatively until the end of surgery) or group control (received 0.9% saline in place of lidocaine at the same time points). The incidence of PPCs within 7 postoperative days was measured, defined as a collapsed composite outcome of atelectasis, respiratory infection, pleural effusion, pneumonia, respiratory failure or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) developed within 7 postoperative days, or hospital discharge, whichever came sooner. Results Of 200 subjects screened, 195 patients were finally analyzed. Overall, 35.9% (70/195) patients sustained PPCs, which occurred fewer in group lidocaine 25.8% (25/97), compared with group control 45.9% (45/98) (relative risk: 0.56, 95% CI: 0.38 to 0.84; absolute risk reduction: −20.1%; P = 0.003). Considering single PPCs episode, the most common PPC in both groups was atelectasis. The atelectasis incidence was 11.3% (11/97) in group lidocaine, much lower than that in group control 29.6% (29/98) (relative risk: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.72; absolute risk reduction: −18.3%, P = 0.002). However, the incidences of any other PPCs episodes were similar between the two groups. Conclusion Intraoperative intravenous infusion lidocaine could decrease the incidence of PPCs in patients at intermediate/high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications undergoing major abdominal surgery.

Abstract
In 1985, Dr. Göran Hedenstierna pioneered in the transition of atelectases during anaesthesia from a concept to a clinical entity, using computed tomography to detect "pulmonary densities". These densities were soon to be fully recognized as atelectasis. Most of the conclusions in the original paper are almost 40 years later still scientifically intact: the immediate appearance of atelectasis after induction of anaesthesia in the majority of adult patients, that atelectasis impedes arterial oxygenation by shunting deoxygenated blood, and the efficacy of a positive end-expiratory pressure to oppose atelectasis. The importance of atelectasis in the development of postoperative pulmonary complications is still obscure, as is the concept of protective ventilation. A common denominator in several studies on protective ventilation during anaesthesia is the lack of recognising the importance of the oxygen concentration. The pivotal role of oxygen in the development of atelectasis, and the impact of oxygen in relation to different conditions in the lungs, needs further studies.

Abstract
Background Physiotherapy is a major cornerstone of enhanced rehabilitation after surgery (ERAS) and reduces the development of atelectasis after thoracic surgery. By initiating physiotherapy in the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU), the aim was to evaluate whether the ultra-early initiation of rehabilitation (in the first hour following tracheal extubation) would improve the outcomes of patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery. Methods A case–control study with a before-and-after design was conducted. From a historical control group, patients were paired at a 3:1 ratio with an intervention group. This group consisted of patients treated with the ultra-early rehabilitation programme after elective thoracic surgery (clear fluids, physiotherapy, and ambulation). The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia during the hospital stay. Results After pairing, 675 patients were allocated to the historical control group and 225 patients to the intervention group. A significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia was found in the latter (11.4 versus 6.7 per cent respectively; P = 0.042) and remained significant on multivariate analysis (OR 0.53, 95 per cent c.i. 0.26 to 0.98; P = 0.045). A subgroup analysis of the intervention group showed that early ambulation during the PACU stay was associated with a further significant decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia (2.2 versus 9.5 per cent; P = 0.012). Conclusions Ultra-early rehabilitation in the PACU was associated with a decrease in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis and/or pneumonia after major elective thoracic surgery.
