Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three open-lung strategies on respiratory function and lung injury in protective ventilation for laparoscopic anterior resection. It aims to answer whether a periodic alveolar recruitment maneuvers (PARM) strategy alone was an appropriate open-lung strategy in intraoperative protective ventilation. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive one of three open-lung strategies in protective ventilation: PARM alone (alveolar recruitment maneuvers \[ARM\] repeated every 30 min), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) alone (a PEEP of 6 to 8 cm H2O), or a combination of PEEP and PARM (a PEEP of 6 to 8 cm H2O combined with ARM repeated every 30 min). The primary outcome is the mechanical power before the end of intraoperative mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes included the accumulative intraoperative mechanical power, an arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) / inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO2) ratio (P/F ratio) before the end of intraoperative mechanical ventilation, the rates of respiratory failure at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and three postoperative days, the concentration of soluble advanced glycation end products receptor (sRAGE) and Clara cell protein 16 (CC16) at the end of surgery, postoperative pulmonary complications score, postoperative hospitalization days and so on.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intraoperative mechanical powerBefore the end of intraoperative mechanical ventilation, about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of surgery

Intraoperative mechanical power, calculated from values of tidal volume (Vt ), respiratory rate (RR), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), plateau pressure (Pplat), and peak inspiratory pressure (Ppeak), using the following formula: mechanical power (J/min) = 0.098 × RR × Vt × (PEEP + ½\[Pplat - PEEP\] + \[Ppeak - Pplat\])

Secondary Outcome Measures

Accumulative mechanical power during capnoperitoneum = mechanical power during capnoperitoneum (30 min after mechanical ventilation) × the length of mechanical ventilation during capnoperitoneum. Accumulative mechanical power after capnoperitoneum (after the end of capnoperitoneum) = mechanical power after capnoperitoneum (10 min after the end of capnoperitoneum) × the length of mechanical ventilation after capnoperitoneum
