EIT vs Dynamic Compliance Guided PEEP Titration During Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgery

"During the PEEP titration procedure, PEEP will be decreased from 18 cmH2O by 2 cmH2O every 20 ventilatory cycles, until a final PEEP of 6 cmH2O.~On each level of PEEP EIT parameters and Cdyn values will be recorded in both groups.~In the EIT-GROUP optimal PEEP is considered as the intersect between the lower percentage of overdistension and collapse, based on the diagnostic tool of the EIT device."
