Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
General Anesthesia
Interventions
Other: Exploration of optimal PEEP in supine and prone position
Registration Number
NCT05275309
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in children under general anesthesia and to investigate whether there is a difference between the supine and prone positions.
