Summary

The investigators tested the hypothesis that alveolar recruitment maneuver during cesarean section and in women under general anesthesia improves lung compliance and gas exchange. The investigators applied recruitment maneuver and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 8 cmH2O. The maximum alveolar pressure limit (Ppeak)was 45 cmH2O during the recruitment maneuver. The primary end point of the study is the improvement of the lung compliance measured as volume difference/pressure difference (dv/dp) or ml/cmH2O

PROCEDURE

Alveolar Recruitment maneuver

In this group and during recruitment maneuver the investigators used pressure control ventilation and increased inspiratory time to 50%. The investigators used alveolar recruitment maneuver by increasing inspiratory pressure to 20 cmH20 and progressively increasing Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) up to 45 cmH2O maximal (Ppeak) inspiratory pressure. The recruitment maneuver lasted 2 minutes. After the maneuver PEEP was set to 8 cmH2O and was left until the end of the operation. After the end of the recruitment maneuver volume control ventilation was used until the end of the operation too.
