A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of the Impact of Minimally Invasive Abdominal Surgery Esophageal Pressure Monitoring Guided Individualized PEEP on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Obese Patients

Transpulmonary pressure-guided individualized PEEP group was an intraoperative ventilation strategy based on esophageal pressure (Pes) monitoring of transpulmonary pressure-guided ventilation, using a small tidal volume (6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight), maintaining the transpulmonary pressure in the safe range of 5-15 cmH2O PEEP for Pes+1 cm H2O level.
