What is the proper ventilation strategy during laparoscopic surgery?

Youn Yi Jo et al. Korean J Anesthesiol. 2017 Dec.

Abstract

The main stream of intraabdominal surgery has changed from laparotomy to laparoscopy, but anesthetic care for laparoscopic surgery is challenging for clinicians, because pneumoperitoneum might aggravate respiratory mechanics and arterial oxygenation. The authors reviewed the literature regarding ventilation strategies that reduce deleterious pulmonary physiologic changes during pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia and make appropriate recommendations.

Keywords: Pneumoperitoneum; Respiratory; Ventilator strategy.
