Early Open-Lung Ventilation Improves Clinical Outcomes in Patientswith Left Cardiac Dysfunction Undergoing Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass: aRandomized Controlled Trial

摘要

ObjectiveTo compare pulmonary function, functional capacity and clinical outcomes amongst three groups of patients with left ventricular dysfunction following off-pump coronary artery bypass, namely: 1) conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV); 2) late open lung strategy (L-OLS); and 3) early open lung strategy (E-OLS).
