Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of adjusting positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) based on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in mechanically ventilated patients with respiratory failure, focusing on its effects on oxygenation and potential harms.
- Researchers applied different PEEP levels (0, 50%, and 100% of IAP) to patients, measuring arterial blood gases and mean arterial pressures to evaluate outcomes.
- Results indicated significant improvements in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio with increased PEEP levels, while ensuring that plateau pressures remained within a safe range, suggesting a beneficial effect on oxygenation without negative side effects.
Postoperative abdominal and shoulder pain are common complications after laparoscopy. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of intraperitoneal local anesthetics on postoperative abdominal and shoulder pain after laparoscopy. 55 women, physical status ASA I, who were undergoing diagnostic or minor gynecologic surgery, was enrolled to the study.
