About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a mechanical power-based lung-protective ventilation strategy during one-lung ventilation reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in adult patients undergoing lung resection surgery.
Mechanical power during pressure-regulated volume control mode is calculated using the formula below.
Mechanical power (J/min) = 0.098 x respiratory rate x tidal volume x (inspiratory airway pressure above positive end-expiratory pressure + positive end-expiratory pressure)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does a mechanical power-based lung-protective ventilation strategy significantly lower the incidence of major postoperative pulmonary complications compared to conventional ventilation? * How does this strategy impact intraoperative hemodynamic and vital profiles (e.g., blood pressure, cardiac output, vasopressor requirements, and blood oxygen saturation) during one-lung ventilation?
Participants will:
* Be randomized to receive either a mechanical power-based lung-protective ventilation strategy or a conventional lung-protective ventilation strategy exclusively during one-lung ventilation. * Be closely monitored for the occurrence of major postoperative pulmonary complications (atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and pulmonary aspiration) and adverse events for 1 month postoperatively.
