About this trial
This study investigates the effects of three extrinsic PEEP settings-5 cmH2O, 0 cmH2O, and an individualized PEEP (70% of the measured intrinsic PEEP)-on intrinsic PEEP and hemodynamic stability in patients with intrinsic PEEP undergoing lung resection surgery, using a randomized, crossover design.

Treatments tested in this trial
PEEP0
Procedure/SurgeryPEEP 0 (zero) means off-PEEP on the anesthesia machine.
PEEP5
Procedure/SurgeryPEEP5 means setting the PEEP to 5 cmH2O on the anesthesia machine.
PEEPi
Procedure/SurgeryPEEPi (individualized PEEP) means setting the PEEP to 70% of intrinsic PEEP on the anesthesia machine.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Intrinsic positive end-expiratory airway pressure
During one-lung ventilation, each patient will randomly receive three PEEP interventions: 0 cmH2O, 5 cmH2O, and the 70% value of intrinsic PEEP. After each 5-minute intervention, intrinsic PEEP will be measured by the anesthesia machine.
Stroke volume
During one-lung ventilation, each patient will randomly receive three PEEP interventions: 0 cmH2O, 5 cmH2O, and the 70% value of intrinsic PEEP. After each 5-minute intervention, Stroke volume will be measured by an arterial pressure-based cardiac output monitor.
