Evaluating the Impact of Airway Devices and Ventilation Strategies on Atelectasis: Insights from Recent Research
Introduction Atelectasis, or the collapse of lung tissue, is a common and potentially serious complication associated with anesthesia and mechanical ventilation. It can result from various factors including airway management strategies and ventilatory settings. Traditionally, endotracheal tubes (ETTs) have been the gold standard for airway management during surgery, but recent studies suggest that supraglottic airways … Read more
