Does intratracheal pulmonary ventilation improve gas exchange during laparoscopy in a pediatric lung injury model?
Compared with conventional ventilation, ITPV improves both CO2 removal and oxygenation during CO2 pneumoperitoneum in a pediatric lung injury model. Intratracheal pulmonary ventilation may be a safer intraoperative mode of ventilation for neonates and children with respiratory failure who require laparoscopy.
Increased EAT is associated with AMI and it may prove beneficial for choosing patients who would need more aggressive approach in terms of risk reduction using echocardiography which is a relatively cheap and readily available tool as a follow-up parameter.
