Summary

This study observes 10,000 adults undergoing general anesthesia for surgery to see how breathing machines are used and whether they are linked to lung complications. Researchers will track ventilator settings, patient details, and any lung problems or side effects that occur. The goal is to identify patterns that could improve safety during surgery.
