Other: spontanous ventilation
Other: ARM
Registration Number
NCT04506736
Lead Sponsor
Zagazig University
Brief Summary

the purpose of this study is to compare open lung approach versus conventional protective ventilation in obese patients undergoing open abdominal surgery

Detailed Description

after being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written consent will be randomized by double blind manner into 2 groups each one containing 24 patients Group SPV: will be ventilated using volume controlled ventilation (7ml/kg tidal volume) with addition of 5 cm H₂O fixed PEEP till the end of the surgery .

Group OLA: The patients will undergo ARM followed by personalized PEEP.

Primary Outcome Measures

post-operative pulmonary complicationsone week postoperative

Pulmonary function tests will be done before surgery as a baseline then repeated after the surgery when the patient is fully awake using bedside spirometer in the sitting position.

pulmonary complications.one week postoperative

1. Postoperative pulmonary complications which are defined as having one or more of the following: 1.Pneumonia 2. Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (Postoperative PaO2 \< 60 mm Hg on room air, a PaO2:FiO2 ratio \< 300 mm Hg) or peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) \<90% and requiring oxygen therapy ). 3. Atelectasis requiring bronchoscopic intervention 4. Pulmonary edema ( postoperative acute lung injury or ARDS). 5. Delayed tracheal extubation ( \>24 hours postoperatively) or need for reintubation (because of respiratory distress, hypoxia, hypercarbia, or respiratory acidosis). 6. Pneumothorax 7. Bronchospasm (Newly detected refractory expiratory wheeze requiring bronchodilators
