Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Delta EELV (measured by EIT) 1 minute after the recruitment manoeuvre 30 minutes after induction of anaesthesia and intubation (T2) compared to the time point 1 minute after induction of anaesthesia and intubation (T1). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Delta EELV 1 min after recruitment manoeuvre 10 min after intubation (T1) • Delta EELV 1 minute after the recruitment manoeuvre 60 min after intubation (T3) • Delta EELV 1 minute after recruitment manoeuvre 120 min intubation (T4) • Percentage distribution of tidal volume in ventral and dorsal lung segments at time points T1, T2, T3 and T4 • Atelectasis formation at time points T1, T2 and T3 and 30 min after arrival in the recovery room/intensive care unit (T4), measured by sonography (Lung Ultrasonography Score) • PaO2/FiO2 at time points T1, T2, T3 • Complications associated with the recruitment manoeuvre - Hypotension (defined as systolic arterial blood pressure 2 min) - Bradycardia (defined as heart rate < 40/min). - Vasopressor consumption during the recruitment manoeuvre - Postoperative respiratory insufficiency (oxygen demand in recovery room/intensive care unit, non-invasive ventilation, unplanned reintubation. | — |
