Summary

Morbid obese patients present changes in respiratory physiology caused by weight overload. Intraoperative atelectasis is a pulmonary complication that affects not only gas exchange but also respiratory mechanics. The present study was aimed to test the role of different parameters for monitoring the treatment of atelectasis by a lung recruitment maneuver.

Conditions

  • Atelectasis

Interventions

OTHER

Lung recruitment maneuver

A Lung recruitment maneuver is aimed to resolve atelectasis during mechanical ventilation. It consists in a brief and controlled increment in airways pressure using pressure control ventilation. Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is increases every 5 centimeters of water (cmH2O), from 0 to 20 cmH2O keeping a fixed driving pressure of 20 cmH2O. A final step of 40 cmH2O of plateau pressure was maintained for 10 breaths, returning then to standard ventilatory settings.
