This study aims to compared the effects in driving pressure of an open-lung strategy with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titrated to best driving pressure (DP) after a RM versus the recommended protective PEEP of 5 cmH2O without a recruitment manuever in non-obese patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

RECRUITINGdriving 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
Postoperative pulmonary complications
The most frequent postoperative pulmonary complications will be recorded (acute respiratory failure, pneumonia, atelectasis, need of ventilatory support, acute respiratory distress syndrome)
Time frame: 72 first postoperative hours
