ADVERSE EFFECTS, COLLAPSED LUNG, RECRUITMENT
The main findings of this study included the following: (1) compared with a fixed 5 cmHDP is a significant mediator of PPCs. A DP of greater than 16 cmHThe GI directly represents global inhomogeneity in tidal ventilation [In this study, the LUSs were higher in the control group than in the titration group immediately and 1 h after extubation (Fig. Individualized PEEP improved respiratory system mechanics, with higher respiratory system compliance and lower Pplat (Table A recruitment maneuver (RM) might be used prior to PEEP titration to reopen collapsed lung regions. However, several studies have indicated that its adverse effects cannot be ignored. Nemer et al. [There were several limitations in our study. First, the sample size was small, but it was adequate for achieving significant differences in the endpoints between groups. Second, because difficulties with ventilation and intubation are unpredictable, the need for preoxygenation is desirable in all patients. All patients were preoxygenated with a 0.8 FiO
