Abstract

General anaesthesia causes atelectasis which can lead to impaired respiratory function. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a mechanical manoeuvre which increases functional residual capacity (FRC) and prevents collapse of the airways thereby reducing atelectasis. It is not known whether intra-operative PEEP alters the risk of postoperative mortality and pulmonary complications.
