• IntroductionThe incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) following thoracic surgery is high, which increases the mortality rate, prolongs the length of hospital stay and increases medical costs. Some studies have confirmed that preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative anaesthesia methods and intraoperative mechanical ventilation strategies, including recruitment manoeuvres (RMs), can reduce the incidence of PPCs. Despite these improved strategies, the incidence of PPCs remains high. However, mechanical ventilation strategies have not been studied in the postoperative period.Methods and analysisWe assume that RM during mechanical ventilation with sequential high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) after extubation can maintain the opening of the postoperative alveoli and ultimately reduce the incidence of PPCs after thoracic surgery. We will include thoracic surgery patients and divide them into the RM with sequential HFNO group and the control group. They will be given RMs and sequential HFNO or be given conventional treatment. The sample size is 654 adult patients (327 per group) undergone thoracic surgery and presenting to the intensive care unit.Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University (REC2019-730). It is expected that this study will lead to a randomised controlled trial. We assume that the findings will provide more evidence about PPCs and improve the management of patients undergone thoracic surgery.Trial registration numberChiCTR2100046356.
