The Effects of Lung Recruitment on the Phase III Slope of Volumetric Capnography in Morbidly Obese Patients Bohm SH et al. - The effect of the alveolar recruitment strategy (ARS) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration on Phase III slope (SIII) of volumetric capnography (VC) in morbidly obese patients is analyzed. The SIII in VC is useful to detect the optimal level of PEEP after lung recruitment in anesthetized morbidly obese patients. [more...]
