What is ALPINE?
What is ALPINE?
ALPINE (Adoption of Lung Protective ventilation IN patients undergoing Emergency laparotomy) is an observational study which PLAN launched in 2016. The study determined how patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery are currently being ventilated and to what extent protective lung ventilation has been adopted in this high-risk population. It also determined whether there is an outcome between mode of ventilation and development of post-operative pulmonary complications. ALPINE worked in collaboration with the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) and was awarded a competitive NIAA-AAGBI grant to aid implementation.
