Results: The primary outcome is lung function. The secondary outcomes comprise of airway pressure, mean arterial pressure, arterial blood gas, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and adverse events. Conclusion: The findings of this study will provide most recent evidence of ventilator for the treatment of atelectasis. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42019139329.
