Summary

This study aims to compare standard positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with dynamic compliance-guided individualized PEEP in obese patients undergoing elective spinal surgery under general anesthesia. Obesity and prone positioning during spinal surgery are associated with reduced lung compliance, atelectasis, and an increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.

Participants will be allocated to receive either a fixed standard PEEP or an individualized PEEP level determined according to intraoperative dynamic lung compliance. Intraoperative oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, arterial blood gas parameters, and hemodynamic variables will be assessed at predefined time points. Postoperative pulmonary complications within the first 24 hours after surgery will also be evaluated.

The study seeks to determine whether individualized PEEP titration based on dynamic compliance offers physiological or clinical advantages compared with a standard PEEP strategy in this patient population.
