Brief Summary

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:-

Patients undergoing mechanical ventilation during the surgery are prone to lung atelectasis postoperatively. application of appropriate levels of PEEP and using lung protective ventilation strategies not only reduces post operative atelectasis but also decreases post operative pulmonary complications like barotrauma, ateletrauma and acute lung injury. So, we intended to study the effects of different levels of PEEP application during intraoperative ventilation on the incidence of postoperative atelectasis.

in our study, we found that patients intervened with PEEP 4 or PEEP 8 did not have any postoperative atelectasis. but there was a significant hypotension, increased peak pressures, plateau pressures in the group B i.e., PEEP 8 than Group A PEEP 4.
