This prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of an intraoperative "Individualized Open Lung Ventilation" strategy compared to a standard lung-protective ventilation strategy in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. One-lung ventilation (OLV) is essential for thoracic surgery but can cause lung injury. While standard care often uses fixed ventilation parameters, this study investigates whether personalizing Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) to achieve the lowest driving pressure can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) within 7 days after surgery.
