Brief Summary

During robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, pneumoperitoneum with Trendelenburg position is used. However, perioperative atelectasis and respiratory complications may occur with high incidence due to general anesthesia and carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. Intraoperative ventilatory strategy to address these issues include intraoperative recruitment maneuver and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Recently, individualized optimal PEEP with minimal driving pressure or maximal respiratory compliance was reported to reduce respiratory complications after general anesthesia. A recent version of general anesthesia ventilator provides a stepwise procedure of determining optimal PEEP by calculating respiratory compliance. We investigated whether the application of individualized optimal PEEP could reduce the incidence of atelectasis and respiratory complications after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy compared to uniform PEEP.

Study Arms (2)

Optimal PEEP

EXPERIMENTAL

Individualized optimal PEEP will be provided during the laparoscopic period of surgery. Optimal PEEP will be determined by the automated procedure of step-wised decrease in the amount of PEEP of the anesthesia ventilator Aisys Care Station (GE Healthcare, Madison, Wisconsin, USA).

Procedure: Individualized optimal positive end-expiratory pressure

Conventional PEEP

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A same amount of PEEP of 7 centimeter hydrogen dioxide will be provided during the laparoscopic period of surgery.

Procedure: Conventional positive end-expiratory pressure

Interventions

Optimal PEEP will be determined by the automated procedure of step-wised decrease in the amount of PEEP of the anesthesia ventilator Aisys Care Station (GE Healthcare, Madison, Wisconsin, USA).

Optimal PEEP

A same amount of PEEP of 7 centimeter hydrogen dioxide will be provided during the laparoscopic period of surgery.

Conventional PEEP
