Intraoperative Electrical Impedance Tomography in Obese Patients Undergoing Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

Regina Elena Cancer Institute54 enrolled

Overview

The primary objective of our study will be verify a possible improvement in arterial oxygenation in the obese patient undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy if the ventilation will be guided by electrical impedance tomography rather than peripheral saturation alone.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The arterial oxygen pressure / fraction of inspired oxygen (pO2 /FiO2) ratio

The primary outcome will be the ratio of arterial oxygen pressure and the fraction of inspired oxygen (pO2 / FiO2 ratio) at the end of the intervention, detected by blood gas analysis.
