Summary
This completed study looked at 101 adults having laparoscopic colorectal surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers tested different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) after a lung recruitment maneuver to see how long the benefits lasted and how it affected heart function. The goal is to help doctors choose the best ventilator settings to protect the lungs during surgery.
