Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 450 surgery patients to find the best breathing machine setting (called PEEP) to prevent lung collapse after surgery. Doctors used a simple ultrasound to check the lungs before and after surgery. The goal was to see which PEEP level led to fewer lung problems…
