Optimal PEEP in Pediatric Patients Under 17 Years of Age.

Seoul National University Hospital51 enrolled

Overview

This study aimed to investigate the differences in positive end-expiratory pressure titration in the supine and prone positions by age in pediatric patients under 17 years of age who received general anesthesia and then evaluate the hemodynamic stability.
