Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Atelectasis is a common complication in neonatal anesthesia. Lung ultrasound (LUS) can be used intraoperatively to evaluate and recognize atelectatic lung areas. Hypotheses for the study are: (1) The use of LUS to guide choice of best positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can lead to reduction of FiO to achieve same saturations of oxygen (SpO). (2) In a less de-recruited lung, there will be less postoperative pulmonary complications. (3) Static respiratory system compliance could be different. (4) Hemodynamic parameters and amount of fluids infused or need for vasopressors intraoperatively could be different. Methods: We propose a randomized controlled trial that compares standard PEEP settings with LUS-guided PEEP choice in patients under 2 months of age undergoing general anesthesia. Results: The primary aim is to determine whether LUS-guided PEEP choice in neonatal anesthesia, compared to standard PEEP choice, can lead to reduction of FiO applied to the ventilatory setting in order to maintain same SpOs. Secondary aims are to determine whether patients treated with LUS-guided PEEP will develop less postoperative pulmonary complications, will have a significant difference in hemodynamic parameters and amount of fluids or vasopressors infused, and in static respiratory system compliance. Conclusions: We expect a significant reduction of FiO in LUS-guided ventilation. Impact: Lung atelectasis is extremely common in neonatal anesthesia, because of the physiology of the neonatal lung and chest wall and leads to hypoxemia, being a lung area with a perfusion/ventilation mismatch.Raising inspired fraction of oxygen can overcome temporarily hypoxemia but oxygen is a toxic compound for newborns. Lung ultrasound (LUS) can detect atelectasis at bedside and be used to optimize ventilator settings including choice of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims at demonstrating that LUS-guided choice of best PEEP during neonatal anesthesia can lead to reduction of inspired fractions of oxygen to keep same peripheral saturations SpO.
