Individualized Positive End-expiratory Pressure Evaluation Using the Intratidal Compliance-volume Profile in Children

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Lung Compliance
Interventions
Procedure: Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)
Registration Number
NCT03533296
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The investigators assess the changes in respiratory compliance according to different levels of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in children under general anesthesia. In addition, the investigators evaluate the intratidal compliance-volume profile at each PEEP level and determine the optimal PEEP level during anesthesia.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean respiratory complianceDuring 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP

Mean static and dynamic compliance

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compliance profileDuring 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP

We will determine Intratidal compliance-volume profile using the changes in compliance over time

--\> I, merely increasing compliance profile; IH, increasing turning into horizontal compliance profile; D, merely decreasing compliance profile; HD, horizontal turning into decreasing compliance profile; IHD, increasing turning into horizontal and further turning into decreasing compliance profile

If compliance profile is I, the PEEP is low. On the other hand, compliance profile is D, PEEP level is considered to be high.

Airway resistanceDuring 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP
