Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patient undergoing surgeries in general anesthesia require support of their breathing by ventilator. Different strategies can be used to manage breathing of the patient. Lung protective ventilation provides breathing at a set volume determined by patient ideal body weight, along with a set rate to maintain adequate breathing. The pressures in the lower airway are kept less than 30 cm of H20 while a pressure of 5cm of H20 is applied to prevent lung collapse. Recently to above mentioned regimen a driving pressure is added which is a difference between lower airway pressure and pressure applied to prevent lung collapse. Ventilatory settings are adjusted to keep this driving pressure less than 15 cm of H2O.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lung protective ventilation provides tidal volume at 6-8 ml/kg along with a set respiratory while keeping plateau pressure less than 30cm of H2O and Peak pressure less than 35cm of H2O and PEEP of 5cm of H20 is applied. The aim is to prevent volutrauma, barotrauma and atelectrauma. To above mentioned regimen another parameter is added that is driving pressure. It is manipulated by adjusting PEEP level so that difference between Plateau Pressure and PEEP is less than equal to 15cm of water.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lung Protective ventilation

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Lung protective ventilation

Intervention Type DEVICE

The patient in this group will receive tidal volume at 6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight with PEEP of 5 cm of H2O and plateau pressure will be kept less than 30cm of H2O.

Driving pressure guided ventilation

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Driving pressure guided ventilation

Intervention Type DEVICE

They will receive tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight and initial PEEP of 5 cm of water. Principal investigator will then incrementally increase PEEP by 2 cm of water till a value 15 cm of water PEEP is reached or Plateau pressure becomes equal to 30 cm of water or driving pressure starts to increase or there is change in any hemodynamics. Each incremental PEEP will last for 3 respiratory cycles before moving on to next value. PEEP value with lowest driving pressure will then be selected for the duration of surgical procedure
