GA-Targets trial is a randomized clinical trial investigating different targets of PEEP (Positive End Expiratory pressure), Tidal volume, FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) and Blood pressure during general anesthesia.
Patients will be randomized within the domains: Blood pressure, PEEP, tidal volume, and FiO2 in a 4x3x3x2 fashion with an equal allocation ratio within each intervention domain.
This website is targeted healthcare professionals involved in GA-Targets Trial.
