Individualised, perioperative open-lung ventilation strategy during one-lung ventilation (iPROVE-OLV): a multicentre, randomised, controlled clinical trial

Lancet Respir MedPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Among patients subjected to lung resection under one-lung ventilation, iOLA was associated with a reduced risk of severe postoperative pulmonary complications when compared with conventional lung-protective ventilation.

Study context

Population
Adults (≥18 years) scheduled for open or video-assisted thoracic surgery with OLV in 25 hospitals in Spain, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, and Ecuador1,308 analysed
Participants
1,380 adults
Comparison
Individualised OLA (iOLA) vs Standard lung-protective ventilation

  • Standard lung-protective ventilationn = 638reference
Primary endpoint
Composite of severe PPCs (atelectasis requiring bronchoscopy, severe respiratory failure, contralateral pneumothorax, early extubation failure, ARDS, pulmonary infection, bronchopleural fistula, pleural empyema)
Follow-up
