Lung protective ventilation in infants undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for congenital heart disease: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: LPV could be used safely in infants undergoing CPB in that it can improve oxygenation, alveolar aeration and dynamic compliance; reduce driving pressure, pulmonary shunting, dead-space. Its effect on oxygenation, pulmonary gas exchange and pulmonary compliance was relatively short, and had less impact on postoperative pulmonary complications and prognosis.
