Effect of Recruitment Maneuvers Plus Optimal PEEP Versus Optimal PEEP Alone in One Lung Ventilation

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Mechanical Ventilation Complication
Registration Number
NCT03635281
Lead Sponsor
Università degli Studi di Ferrara
Brief Summary

The intraoperative driving pressure (∆P) has been recently identified as the greater independent predictor of postoperative pulmonary complications after one lung ventilation (OLV). The application of a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level of 5 or 10 cmH2O has been shown to reduce the ∆P and the V/Q mismatch (Spadaro 2017); however, the "optimal" PEEP level able to minimize the ∆P may change significantly across patients. The aim of this study is to describe the optimal PEEP levels in patients undergoing thoracic surgery
