Brief Summary

During laparoscopic surgery, gas infiltration and head down position cause pulmonary atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers are beneficial in reopening collapsed alveoli and improving lung mechanics. Ventilator-driven Alveolar recruitment maneuvers may restore lung volume but it remains unknown which method is most effective. The primary aim was to compare the efficacy of two ventilator-driven ARMs method using incremental tidal volume or positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP) until plateau pressure 30 cmH20 (within driving pressure 20 cmH20).

Detailed Description

General anesthesia promotes the formation of atelectasis, which negatively impacts respiratory function and may be associated with subsequent pulmonary complications. Especially, during laparoscopic surgery, gas infiltration and head down position cause pulmonary atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers are beneficial in reopening collapsed alveoli and improving lung mechanics, suggesting that performing an Alveolar recruitment maneuvers after intubation, circuit disconnection, position change, intraabdominal gas infiltration.

Conventional manual ARM is performed by sustained lung inflation using the reservoir bag on the anaesthesia machine with the adjustable pressure-limiting valve set to the desired inflation pressure. However, the manual ARM can lead to brief loss of positive pressure when switching back to the ventilator circuit, which results in re-collapse of alveoli. For this reason, investigators try to compare the methods of the ventilator-driven ARM.
