- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPIND) titration, compared to fixed positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O, on oxygenation, hemodynamic variables, and early postoperative complications in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
- Detailed Description
Obesity is a major health problem, and the incidence is increasing worldwide. So far, the only treatment for morbid obesity with good long-term results is bariatric surgery.
Obese patients have unique respiratory physiology and ventilatory mechanics characteristics. Their lung function is impaired due to the reduction of oxygen reserve, functional residual capacity, and lung compliance. In addition, they frequently present with respiratory comorbidities, which increases the risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) such as atelectasis especially after procedures under general anesthesia. Atelectasis has been hypothesized as a main cause of postoperative hypoxemia.
To reduce the incidence of atelectasis, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and recruitment maneuvers are used as a protective lung strategy to improve gas exchange and lung mechanics through reopening collapsed alveoli and maintaining the aeration of lungs. Application of PEEP may also eliminate auto-PEEP without increasing plateau pressure.

Group Intervention Description Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPIND) Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPIND) Patients who will receive the individualized positive end-expiratory pressure. Positive end-expiratory pressure 5 (PEEP 5) Positive end-expiratory pressure 5 (PEEP 5) Patients will receive fixed positive end-expiratory pressure(= 5 cmH2O) as a control group
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Intraoperative oxygenation One hour after extubation Intraoperative oxygenation which will be assessed by P/F ratio (the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2 expressed as a fraction, not a percentage).
PaO2/FiO2: will be measured at before induction of anesthesia, immediately after intubation, after PEEP titration, one hour after pneumoperitoneum, before extubation, one hour after extubation
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean arterial pressure(MAP) One hour after extubation Mean arterial pressure will be measured before induction of anesthesia, immediately after intubation, after positive End-Expiratory Pressure titration, one hour after pneumoperitoneum, before extubation, and one hour after extubation.
Dosage of vasopressors Till the end of surgery The total volume of the administered vasopressors will be recorded.
Heart rate(HR) One hour after extubation Heart rate will be measured before induction of anesthesia, immediately after intubation, after positive End-Expiratory Pressure titration, one hour after pneumoperitoneum, before extubation, and one hour after extubation.
Lung ultrasound scores 12 hours postoperatively Lung ultrasound scans will be performed 3 times for each patient, before induction of anesthesia, one hour after extubation and 12 hours postoperatively.
Patients will be scanned in the supine position as follows: Each hemithorax will be divided into 6 regions using 3 longitudinal lines (parasternal, anterior, and posterior axillary) and 2 axial lines (one above the diaphragm and the other 1 cm above the nipples). The 12-lung regions will be scanned sequentially from right to left, cranial to caudal and anterior to posterior. Each region will be assessed using a 2-dimensional view with the probe placed parallel to the ribs. The degree of B-lines will be divided into 4 grades according to lung ultrasound score for consolidation and aeration and scored between 0 and 3:
(0) fewer than 3 isolated B-lines.
1. multiple well-defined B-lines.
2. multiple coalescent B-lines.
3. white lung.Early postoperative pulmonary complication First 24 hours postoperatively Any early postoperative pulmonary complication in the first postoperative 24 hours will be recorded.
Volume of total fluid infusion Till the end of surgery The total volume of the administered fluids will be recorded.
Length of hospital stay 28 days postoperatively Time from admission till hospital discharge
