Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Driving transpulmonary pressure (cmH2O)

    The driving transpulmonary pressure will be evaluated between the high and low PEEP condition using the formula: driving transpulmonary pressure = driving airway pressure - driving esophageal pressure (cmH2O).

    10 minutes

  • Bohr dead space fraction (%)

    The Bohr dead space fraction will be evaluated with high PEEP between the condition with end inspiratory pause and with no end inspiratory pause application using the formula: Bohr dead space fraction = Alveolar pressure of CO2 (PACO2) - Expired pressure of CO2 (PECO2) / PACO2

    10 minutes

  • Shunt fraction (%)

    The shunt fraction will be evaluated with low PEEP between the condition with high fraction of oxygen to achieve a saturation goal of 96-98% and the condition with low fraction of oxygen to achieve a saturation goal of 88-92%. The shunt fraction will be calculated using the formula: Qs/Qt = (capillary oxygen content - arterial oxygen content)/(capillary oxygen content - venous oxygen content)

    10 minutes

Interventions

Applying a PEEP value 10 cmH2O higher than the lower inflection point of the pressure-volume curve of the respiratory system with end inspiratory pause addition in volumen control ventilation

Applying a PEEP value equal to the lower inflection point of the pressure-volume curve of the respiratory system with a FiO2 necessary to achieve a SpO2 96-98%

Applying a PEEP value 10 cmH2O higher than the lower inflection point of the pressure-volume curve of the respiratory system without end inspiratory pause addition in volumen control ventilation

Applying a PEEP value equal to the lower inflection point of the pressure-volume curve of the respiratory system with a FiO2 necessary to achieve a SpO2 88-92%
