Study Overview

Brief Summary

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) applied during induction of anesthesia prevents atelectasis formation and increases the duration of nonhypoxic apnea in obese and nonobese patients. PEEP also prevents atelectasis formation in pediatric patients. Because pediatric patients arterial desaturation during induction of anesthesia develops rapidly, we studied the clinical benefit of PEEP applied during anesthesia induction.
