About

This study aims to evaluate the methodology and parameters of perioperative respiratory support (RS) and the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the Russian Federation. The study will analyze respiratory support strategies, equipment availability, and their correlation with PPC outcomes in surgical patients.

Full description

Globally, around 230 million surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation are performed annually. Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) significantly impact clinical outcomes, increasing morbidity and hospitalization duration. Cohort studies have reported a 20-30% risk of PPCs in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Protective ventilation strategies, including low tidal volumes (6-8 mL/kg predicted body weight) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), have shown to reduce PPCs. However, high tidal volumes (10-15 mL/kg) remain prevalent in routine practice.

The "RuVent-A" study will collect data on respiratory support methodologies, initial ventilation parameters, types of surgical interventions, and associated PPC rates in the Russian Federation. This observational study will analyze patient and equipment data across participating centers without altering routine clinical practices.
