Resumen
NAVA ACOSTA, Andrea et al. Use of lung protective measures and mechanical power in adults undergoing mechanical ventilation under general anesthesia in a tertiary hospital. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.3, pp.245-249. Epub 06-Feb-2023. ISSN 1870-7203. https://doi.org/10.35366/105727.
Mechanical ventilation is a fundamental part of intraoperative management. This can be harmful even in healthy lungs, for this reason, protective ventilation strategies have been proposed. The present study wants to identify the frequency with which all lung protection measures and mechanical power are used during the transanesthetic period.
Material and methods:
A cross-sectional study was carried out with all patients undergoing general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation between September-2020 and January-2021, we divided the subjects into two groups (total or partial parameters of lung protection) and demographic and ventilatory variables were analyzed.
Results:
66 subjects were analyzed, the full use of lung protection parameters in 59%(n = 39). Open abdominal surgeries (37.5%) and emergency surgeries (41.6%) were the most difficult to achieve complete lung protection.
Conclusions:
The majority of anesthesiologists used the lung protection parameters and the correct mechanical power; these concepts have yet to be permeated to reach the totality.
Palabras llave : Anesthesiologists; lung protection; mechanical power.
