Five percent to 10% of all surgical patients and up to 30% to 40% having thoracic or abdominal surgery develop postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), which increase risks, morbidity, mortality, and costs for hospital care. Although mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential supportive therapy during general anesthesia (GA), it can initiate lung damage in patients with healthy lungs at the beginning of ventilation. Lung-protective ventilation is used routinely in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but such ventilation is not widely accepted in patients with healthy lungs, particularly in the operating room (OR). This article discusses the current status of MV in the OR and the physiology of ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) along with evidence supporting the implementation of a multifaceted bundle of prophylactic perioperative positive-pressure ventilation (the “POP-ventilation” bundle) to prevent lung collapse during the perioperative period and limit PPCs. High tidal volume (VT; 10–15 mL/kg) during MV is used to prevent hypoxemia and gradual loss of lung volume associated with low VT ventilation. However, the practice of high VT ventilation may be prevalent in the OR. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is not commonly used in the OR, and even a lung-protective approach (defined as the combination of a VT of< 8 mL/kg predicted body weight [PBW] and a PEEP level of> 5 cm H2O) is used only sporadically. Recent evidence indicates that intraoperative adherence to lung-protective ventilation strategies is low in patients with ARDS and requiring GA for surgery. Inappropriate use of MV can exacerbate lung injury, but whether MV damages the lungs in patients with healthy lungs exposed to short-term MV during surgery is still controversial. Yet, evidence is clear that GA promotes reduction in lung volume, a key to the development of atelectasis, which remains during the postoperative period. Ventilator-associated lung injury can develop from cyclic overstretching of aerated alveolar areas with high VT and repeated closing and opening of lung units with the use of low VT or zero PEEP, leading to damage at the junction of closed and open alveoli (atelectrauma) and from the application of excessive airway pressures (barotrauma). Each of these can trigger an inflammatory reaction in the lungs or may initiate and propagate systemic release of inflammatory mediators, causing systemic organ dysfunction. One experimental study found that different insults to the lungs may interact to cause greater production and release of inflammatory mediators than either insult alone and is dependent on their sequence. The study found that release of inflammatory mediators was greater when injurious ventilation preceded additional insults, suggesting that MV is the priming factor for later complications. Many known surgical, anesthesiarelated, and patient-related risk factors are present during the perioperative period and may be responsible for lung aggression. A recent study on the pulmonary effects of prophylactic lung-protective ventilation failed to show any notable benefit in postoperative lung function during the first 5 postoperative days (PODs) in patients receiving low VT ventilation compared with those receiving high VT, although gas exchange was better with high VT; low PEEP levels were used in both groups. The low VT group had no alveolar recruitment maneuver (RM). Recruitment maneuvers are necessary to reopen atelectasis after anesthesia induction, and PEEP should be used with lower VT to prevent progressive lung collapse and loss of aeration. The optimal level of PEEP is generally considered to be greater than 5 …
