Brief Summary

Major laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery requires steep Trendelenburg position with pneumoperitoneum for a long time leading to decrease pulmonary compliance and lung volumes due to cephalic displacement and decrease excursion of the diaphragm, consequently leading to the possibility of atelectasis formation. Different strategies have been proposed to reduce atelectasis and other pulmonary complications in obese patients as induction of anesthesia in the head up position with or without CPAP, protective intraoperative mechanical ventilation with high or low levels of PEEP and implementation of Recruitment Maneuvers. Up to investigators' knowledge, there is no study done to evaluate the effect of intraoperative use of PEEP and alveolar recruitment maneuver on diaphragmatic function and incidence of atelectasis via ultrasonography in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • changes of Diaphragmatic excursion (DD)

    will be measured by low frequency probe of Sonosite M Turbo ultrasonography, measurements will be taken before induction of anaesthesia, 5 min after completion of pneumoperitoneum, 5 min after adopting Trendelenburg position, 60 min later with pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position, 5 min after exsufflation of pneumoperitoneum and patient placed back in the supine position, 15 min after arrival of patient in the recovery room and 24h postoperatively.

    24 hour postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of lung atelectasis

    24 hour postoperative

Study Arms (3)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

patients will be intraoperatively mechanically ventilated without PEEP nor RM.

PEEP Group

EXPERIMENTAL

patients will be intraoperatively mechanically ventilated with PEEP of 5 cmH2O.

Procedure: addition of positive end expiratory pressure in ventilated patients

PEEP and RM Group

EXPERIMENTAL

patients will be intraoperatively mechanically ventilated with PEEP of 5 cmH2O and intermittent four times of RM consisting of maintaining airway pressure 40 cmH2O for 40 sec.

Procedure: addition of positive end expiratory pressure and recruitment maneuver in ventilated patients

Interventions

patients will be intraoperatively mechanically ventilated with PEEP of 5 cmH2O.
