About this trial
this study to compare the ventilation in obese patients either using Driving pressure ventilation technique or conventional protective lung strategy all by using Lung ultrasound score
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
patients who have a BMI 30-40 kg/m2
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II or III
patients aged between 18 and 60 years,
patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgeries.

Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
lung ultrasound
DeviceThe lung ultrasound score between 0 and 3 (0 = normal A lines, 1 = multiple separated B lines, 2 = coalescing B lines or light beam, 3 = consolidation). The aeration score will be built by the sum of the scores of the 12 segments, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 36 according to the aeration loss.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The change in lung ultrasound score
The primary outcome will be the change in Lung Ultra Sound Score between 0 and 3 (0 = normal A lines, 1 = multiple separated B lines, 2 = coalescing B lines or light beam, 3 = consolidation) from the base line.
Secondary outcomes
Lung compliance
Lung compliance is a measure of the expansion of the lung.
Hemodynamic parameter as oxygen saturation
Hemodynamic parameter as Heart rate
Hemodynamic parameter as Mean arterial blood pressure
