Brief summary

The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the effects of different positions on the occurrence, regional distribution and reversibility of atelectasis by using a PulmoVista 500 monitor (Dräger. 23542 Lübeck), during general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. The main questions it aims to answer are: * The increase in atelectasis after induction of general anesthesia in supine and Trendelenburg position compared with baseline (spontaneous breathing) * The eventual possibility of reversal of atelectasis caused by general anesthesia and Trendelenburg position by reverse Trendelenburg position and recruitment manœuvre. Participants will be adult, autonomous and able to express their will, undergoing elective gynecological or urological surgery in the extended Trendelenburg position.

Interventions

OTHERRecruitment maneuver (RM)

performance of a recruitment maneuver of 30 cm H20 for 30 seconds and measurement of electrical impedance

OTHERReverse Trend (REV TREND)

Place the patient in the reverse trendelenburg position and measuring the electrical impedance after 5 minutes

Intervention model description

1. 1st measurement (T0-SPONT): in spontaneous ventilation. 2. Induction, intubation and mechanical ventilation for 5 minutes. 3. 2nd measurement (T1-LYING): after induction. 4. Trendelenburg 30° and ventilatory constant parameters. 5. 3rd measurement (T2-TREND): after 5 minutes of Trendelenburg. 6. Division into 2 groups according to randomization: I. Supine position and recruitment manoeuvre. 4th measurement after 5 minutes. (T3-RM) II. Either put in the Anti Trendelenburg position. 4th measurement after 5 minutes. (TREND Q3- REV) 7. Horizontal supine position and surgical incision.
