Uncertainty remains about the best level of intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). An ongoing RCT ('DESIGNATION') compares an 'individualized high PEEP' strategy ('iPEEP')-titrated to the lowest driving pressure (ΔP) with recruitment maneuvers (RM), with a 'standard low PEEP' strategy ('low PEEP')-using 5 cm HO without RMs with respect to the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications. This report is an interim analysis of safety and feasibility. From September 2018 to July 2022, we enrolled 743 patients. Data of 698 patients were available for this analysis. Hypotension occurred more often in 'iPEEP' vs. 'low PEEP' (54.7 vs. 44.1%; RR, 1.24 (95% CI 1.07 to 1.44); < 0.01). Investigators were compliant with the study protocol 285/344 patients (82.8%) in 'iPEEP', and 345/354 patients (97.5%) in 'low PEEP' ( < 0.01). Most frequent protocol violation was missing the final RM at the end of anesthesia before extubation; PEEP titration was performed in 99.4 vs. 0%; PEEP was set correctly in 89.8 vs. 98.9%. Compared to 'low PEEP', the 'iPEEP' group was ventilated with higher PEEP (10.0 (8.0-12.0) vs. 5.0 (5.0-5.0) cm HO; < 0.01). Thus, in patients undergoing general anesthesia for open abdominal surgery, an individualized high PEEP ventilation strategy is associated with hypotension. The protocol is feasible and results in clear contrast in PEEP. DESIGNATION is expected to finish in late 2023.

Viral infections are the main cause of acute respiratory failure in infants, which can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with high morbidity and mortality, so it is essential to imple ment strategies that prevent this progression. Recently, it has been proposed that increased work of breathing would not only be a warning symptom during the evolution of acute respiratory failure, but also a mechanism for the progression of injury, both lungs and diaphragm, coining the concept of patient self-inflicted lung injury. Since the first reports of ARDS, the usefulness of the use of con tinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been raised, a non-invasive respiratory support therapy with wide access and low cost, capable of improving oxygenation and work of breathing.

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital displacement of the tricuspid valve resulting in atrialization of the right ventricle. About half of the patients with Ebstein's anomaly also have atrial septal defects, which may lead to chronic shunting and development of Eisenmenger syndrome. We describe a case of a sexagenarian male patient with a history of Ebstein's anomaly complicated with Eisenmenger syndrome undergoing robotic laparoscopic adrenalectomy who presented hemodynamic instability, hypoxemia, and likely right-to-left shunting intraoperatively, as well as the actions taken to correct it and have a successful outcome.

Background: Postoperative extubation is a critical phase. Various medications and different ventilation modes are employed during extubation to minimize potential issues. This study aimed to observe the early effects of the concurrent use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) modes during the extubation-emerge period on the respiratory system.
