Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Intraoperative oxygenation
Time Frame: 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 Outcomes
- Mean arterial pressure(MAP)(One hour after extubation)
- Dosage of vasopressors(Till the end of surgery)
- Heart rate(HR)(One hour after extubation)
- Lung ultrasound scores(12 hours postoperatively)
- Early postoperative pulmonary complication(First 24 hours postoperatively)
- Volume of total fluid infusion(Till the end of surgery)
- Length of hospital stay(28 days postoperatively)
