Anesthesia & Analgesia, 06/25/09
Bohm SH et al. - The alveolar recruitment strategy was sequentially performed with and without capnoperitoneum and consisted of an upward PEEP trial, recruitment with 50–60 cm H2O of plateau pressure for 10 breaths, and a downward PEEP trial. Recruitment and high PEEP did not cause significant disturbances in any hemodynamic variable measured by systemic and pulmonary artery catheters. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed no differences in end-diastolic areas or evidence of segmental abnormalities in wall motion.
