Invitation to participate: BIG APPLE study

We invite members of the European Society for Pediatric Anaesthesiology to join the ‘Current Practice of Ventilation Strategies in Children undergoing General Anesthesia and Associations with Postoperative Pulmonary Complications’ – BIG APPLE study.

BIG APPLE will evaluate the current practice in perioperative ventilation in children and investigate its associations with Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPCs). The study is designed as a multicenter international observational cohort study with a 14-day inclusion period.
