Postoperative Complication and Hospital Stay Reduction With a Individualized Perioperative Lung Protective Ventilation. A Comparative, Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether individualized ventilatory management
combining the use of low tidal volumes, alveolar recruitment maneuvers, individually
titrated positive end-expiratory pressure and postoperative individualized ventilatory
support will decrease postoperative complications, unplanned ICU readmissions, ICU and
hospital length of stay and mortality compared to a standardized Lung Protective Ventilation
(LPV) for all patients at risk.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Age not less than 18

- Risk of postoperative pulmonary complication moderate-high defined by a score ≥ 26 on
the risk scale ARISCAT (based on the analysis of seven factors, where a score between
26 and 44 points defines a moderate risk, and a score> 44 points define a high risk,
included in the Information Booklet Investigator).

- Planned abdominal surgery> 2 hours.

- Signed informed consent for participation in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Age less than 18 years.

- Pregnant or breast-feeding.

- Patients with BMI >35.

- Syndrome of moderate or severe respiratory distress: PaO2/FiO2 < 200 mmHg.

- Heart failure: NYHA IV.

- Hemodynamic failure: CI <2.5 L/min/m2 and / or requirements before surgery ionotropic
support.

- Diagnosis or suspicion of intracranial hypertension (intracranial pressure> 15 mmHg).

- Mechanical ventilation in the last 15 days.

- Presence of pneumothorax. Presence of giant bullae on chest radiography or computed
tomography (CT).

- Patient with preoperatively CPAP.

- Participation in another experimental protocol at the time of intervention selection.
