Summary

This completed study looked at 58 men having robotic prostate surgery. Researchers compared two breathing support methods—using a steady low pressure (PEEP) alone or adding a deep breath maneuver (ARM)—to see which kept oxygen levels better during surgery. The goal was to find safer ventilation strategies for this type of operation.
