Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Atelectasis is known to develop during anaesthesia and after operation atelectasis leads to impaired oxygenation. Lung recruitment manoeuvres, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) have been proposed for reduction of atelectasis but their benefits have not been shown to persist after operation. We proposed that a combination of these techniques before extubation would improve oxygenation after operation.
METHODS:Adult patients undergoing elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation and an arterial catheter were randomized to receive either: a lung recruitment manoeuvre of 40 cm H(2)O for 15 s, 30 min before the end of anaesthesia, followed by 10 cm H(2)O of PEEP and then 10 cm H(2)O of CPAP from return of spontaneous breathing until extubation; or no lung recruitment manoeuvre, journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
