This questionnaire-based study aims to evaluate the adherence to and current clinical practices regarding intraoperative lung-protective ventilation (IOLPV) among anesthesiologists in the Czech Republic. Despite the established role of IOLPV in reducing postoperative pulmonary complications in selected populations, its routine application during general anesthesia for elective surgeries remains variable. The survey focuses on identifying common ventilation strategies, attitudes toward lung recruitment maneuvers, tidal volume selection, use of PEEP, and awareness of existing recommendations. The results will provide insight into national practice patterns, perceived barriers, and educational needs, helping to inform future guidelines, training initiatives, and efforts to enhance patient safety and postoperative outcomes across Czech anesthesia departments.
