The effect of lung recruitment maneuvers on post-operative pulmonary complications for patients undergoing general anesthesia: A meta-analysis.
BackgroundRespiratory function would be impaired during general anesthesia period.Researchers devoted their energies to finding effective strategies for protecting respiratory function.Low tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and lung recruitment maneuvers (LRMs) were recommended for patients under mechanical ventilation.However,
