Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are associated with postoperative mortality and prolonged hospital stay.

Although intraoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) is a risk factor for PPCs, strategies addressing weaning from MV are understudied.

In this systematic review, we evaluated weaning strategies and their effects on postoperative pulmonary outcomes.

Our protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022379145). Eligible studies included randomised controlled trials and observational studies of adults weaned from MV in the operating room.

Primary outcomes included atelectasis and oxygenation; secondary outcomes included lung volume changes and PPCs.

Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB2) tool, and quality of evidence with the GRADE framework.
