Brief Summary

Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPC) are common. It severely affects postoperative recovery, particularly in abdominal surgery. Several studies showed that intraoperative lung-protective ventilation with periodic lung recruitment maneuvers could reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. Other studies showed that intraoperative lung protective ventilation without periodic lung recruitment maneuvers could also reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of the above two regimens on postoperative pulmonary complications.
