Improving Adherence to Intraoperative Lung-Protective Ventilation Strategies at a University Medical Center.

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative lung-protective ventilation (ILPV) is defined as tidal volumes 65 kg. Surveyed providers demonstrated stronger agreement to having knowledge and practice consistent with ILPV after interventions. CONCLUSIONS: Our interventions improved anesthesia provider adherence to low tidal volume ILPV. IBW was found to be an important factor related to provider adherence to ILPV. Provider attitudes about their knowledge and practice consistent with ILPV also changed with our interventions. (C) 2017 International Anesthesia Research Society
