In the third episode of She and He: Two Voices in Anesthesia, we explore a recent article published in Anesthesiology that investigates the link between intraoperative ventilation-perfusion (VQ) mismatch and postoperative pulmonary complications in high-risk noncardiac surgeries. Our commentators, Sarah and James, walk us through the key findings of this study, highlighting how precise VQ monitoring can help anesthesiologists prevent serious complications like respiratory failure and pneumonia. After their insightful discussion, Javier Ripollés and Ángel Espinosa offer their clinical perspectives, sharing practical tips on improving intraoperative patient management in the OR. This is a must-listen episode for anyone involved in anesthesiology and perioperative care!
