Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome parameters were changes of the dynamic compliance and end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO2) to verify recruitment maneuver’s with PEEP in lungs. We did three different measurements on three PEEP levels (T0 PEEP 5, T1 PEEP 3, T2 PEEP 0). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome parameters were the gastric air insufflation during ventilation with three different PEEP levels. | — |
