Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialEffect of different fraction of inspired oxygen on development of atelectasis in mechanically ventilated children: A randomized controlled trial.
The use of high fraction of inspired oxygen (FI O2 ) can cause direct pulmonary toxicity and pulmonary complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different FI O2 on development of intraoperative atelectasis in mechanically ventilated children using lung ultrasound. ⋯ FI O2 did not affect significant atelectasis formation in mechanically ventilated children who received ultrasound-guided recruitment maneuver and positive end-expiratory pressure.
