Can High Ventilation Provide Higher Success Rates in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery?

The tidal volume and respiration frequency were determined by the MV according to patient's age and weight with end-tidal CO2 levels of 30-35 mmHg. Standard ventilation mode was defined as 8-10 mL/kg tidal volume and 10-15 respirations/min. During HV mode, the tidal volume was decreased to 6-8 mL/kg and the frequency was increased to 15-18 respirations/min. No changes were made in the inspiratory expiratory ratio (1:2), FiO2, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) parameters.
