Conditions

abdominal surgery

Interventions

conventional sustained inflation:The recruitment manoeuvre was performed by manual inflation with a airway pressure of 30 cmH2O for 30 s.
ultrasound-guided sustained inflation:The recruitment manoeuvre was performed under the direct real-time guidance of ultrasound. Manual inflation was applied until no collapsed areas were visible on t
conventional incremental PEEP:The recruitment manoeuvre was performed by maintaining a steady airway pressure of 15 cm H2O, with 5 cm H2O increments in PEEP until a peak airway pressure of 30 cm H2O w
ultrasound-guided incremental PEEP:The recruitment manoeuvre was performed under the direct real-time guidance of ultrasound
incremental PEEP was applied to increase the airway pressure until no collapsed areas were visible on the ultrasound. The maximum airway pressure was limited to 40 cmH2O, and the tidal volume of each
