Minimizing atelectasis formation during general anaesthesia—oxygen washout is a non-essential supplement to PEEP

BACKGROUND: Following preoxygenation and induction of anaesthesia, most patients develop atelectasis. We hypothesized that an immediate restoration to a low oxygen level in the alveoli would prevent atelectasis formation and improve oxygenation during the ensuing anaesthesia. METHODS: We randomly as...
