PROCEDURE

End-expiratory lung volume optimization maneuver with PEEP titration

PEEP titration (incremental/decremental) will be performed to optimize lung volume after surgery and find levels of PEEP corresponding to the best lung compliance. Typically PEEP levels between 10-20cmH2O will be applied based on individual response of patients' lung mechanics. Tidal volume will be kept constant at 6ml/kg in both arms. Driving pressures will be limited to 15cmH2O. Balance of CO2 will be guaranteed by adjusting respiratory rate.

PROCEDURE

Standard Care (in control arm)

Patients will receive pressure controlled ventilation with target tidal volume of 6ml/kg and PEEP of 5cmH2O. Driving pressures are limited to 15cmH2O.
