Anesthesia, Peroperative Complication
Conditions
Keywords
Children, Respiratory
Brief summary
Ventilation management in paediatric anaesthesia remains difficult because of the wide range of age and weight, and therefore practices are heterogeneous. In adults, protective ventilation during anesthesia is now a standard of care but in children there is no level of evidence to recommend it. The aim of the study was to describe current practice and the factors associated with the use of high tidal volume during anaesthesia in children in France.
Interventions
Data on respiratory management were collected at different time: data regarding the induction period, ventilatory parameters set and measured during a stable period, ventilatory change made during anaesthesia, use of recruitment manoeuvres, data regarding weaning and extubation
