The aim of this study was to compare the effects of adding a recruitment maneuver (RM) to low tidal volume (VT) ventilation, with or without an individualized post-RM positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting in lung-healthy patients during anesthesia.

driving pressure
The driving pressure is a physiological ventilatory parameter measured as platteau pressure minus PEEP. This parameter may be associated with postoperative pulmonary complications
Time frame: intraoperative
ventilatory efficiency
Ventilatory efficiency measured with volumetric capnography which includes dead space and tidal elimination of carbon dioxide.
Time frame: intraoperative
