Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how raising intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy affects ventilatory mechanical power (MP) and other respiratory parameters.
- It involved 42 patients and assessed multiple IAP levels and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), finding that increasing IAP led to a significant rise in MP and respiratory driving pressure (DP), while airway resistance (AR) and respiratory compliance (RC) changed inversely.
- The results suggest that maintaining a specific IAP could help optimize ventilatory support and reduce the risk of lung injury during surgery.
