Evaluation of Ventilatory Strategies During Laparoscopic Surgery

Re-expansion of Atelectasis During Laparoscopic Surgery. Recruitment Maneuver vs Positive End-expiratory Pressure: a Randomized Study

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 45 (actual)
• Sponsor: Maria Vittoria Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 70 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Atelectasis involving declive areas often occurs during general anesthesia and may persist postoperatively. This phenomenon could be amplified by pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position. Hypothesis: To evaluate whether the shape of the airway pressure-time curve, Stress Index (SI), during constant flow inflation can lead ventilator setting during general anesthesia.

Conditions

• Pneumonia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	First arm: patients ventilated with zero end expiratory pressure
