Brief Summary

In this study, the sixty mechanically ventilated class I obese patients were divided into two equal groups A and B. group A received RTP position + PEEP protocol, while group B underwent RTP position protocol only. The results showed that the group A protocol has positive effects on the improvement of respiratory mechanics by significant increase the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) in mmHg to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2), (PaO2/FiO2 ratio), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and static compliance (Cstat) parameters. Moreover, a significant decrease in hemodynamics of BP\& MAP was measured. While the results of the group B protocol demonstrated a non-significant increase in the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, PaCO2, and Cstat. Besides, non-significant decreases in hemodynamics of blood pressure (BP) \& mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Respiratory parameters

    The primary outcomes included the respiratory parameters partial oxygen pressure, partial carbon dioxide pressure, static compliance fractional oxygen pressure ratio

    Immediately after the procedure is done in the operating room appears on the patient's monitor & patient arterial blood gases.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Hemodynamics parameters

    Immediately after the procedure is done in the operating room appears on the patient's monitor.

Study Arms (2)

Positive End Expiatory Pressure + Reverse Trendelenburg Position

EXPERIMENTAL

Group A received the procedures of the physiotherapy part by applying proper positioning for better oxygenation and ventilation (Reverse Trendelenburg Position), which is the patient laid supine with the head up 30 degrees higher than the feet \& received the recruitment maneuver (RM) by Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) titration

Device: respiratory parameters on mechanical ventilator (PEEP)

Reverse Trendelenburg Position

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group B received only the procedures of the physiotherapy part at the 3rd phase of operation by applying proper positioning for better oxygenation and ventilation (Reverse Trendelenburg Position), in which the patient laid supine with the head at 15-30 degrees higher than the feet to unload the weight of intra-abdominal contents from the diaphragm, this position: 1. Increase pulmonary compliance, functional residual capacity (FRC), and oxygenation. 2. Allows easier ventilation. 3. This position called safe apnea time allows time to secure the airway before desaturation for a 20-minute positioning time.

Device: respiratory parameters on mechanical ventilator (PEEP)

Interventions

The 3rd \& 4th phases of operation in the group (A) and (B): Each patient received one single session inside the Operation Room (OR) as one shot of the treatment procedure. Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs) were obtained to measure: 1. Oxygenation by PaO2/FiO2 ratio with constant FiO2 = 100% (oxygen) through the procedure time as a primary outcome. 2. Secondary outcome. * Ventilation by PaCO2 value from ABGs. * Static compliance (Cstat) was measured as the amount of recruitment of alveoli in the lung. * Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) one of the hemodynamics measurements was measured pre/post the procedure in the two groups.
