Electrical impedance tomography-guided positive end-expiratory pressure titration for perioperative oxygenation and postoperative pulmonary complications: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided individual positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) approach is a noninvasive, radiation-free, and straightforward strategy. However, its validity to prevent postoperative complications remains unclear. To determine whether the EIT-guided PEEP titration in surgery has a higher oxygenation index and lower postoperative complications incidence in patients, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the efficacy. The study design is a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

Four databases (Cochrane, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase) were searched from 2000 to November 2022 for this study. Randomized controlled trials of patients selected for general anesthesia were included. The main indicators of the study were oxyg
