Abstract in brief

  • The study shows that customizing PEEP levels for each patient using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during surgery can better prevent lung collapse, reduce postoperative atelectasis, and improve oxygenation compared to a fixed PEEP of 4 cm H2O.
  • Individualized PEEP settings varied significantly among patients, averaging 12 cm H2O, indicating that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be optimal for lung protection during surgery.
  • Using patient-specific PEEP improved intraoperative lung mechanics, evidenced by lower driving pressures and higher oxygen levels, which may lead to better postoperative respiratory outcomes.
