ResumoAbstract Background General anaesthesia leads to atelectasis, reduced end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), and diminished arterial oxygenation in obese patients. We hypothesized that a combination of a recruitment manoeuvre (RM) and individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can avoid these effects. Methods Patients with a BMI ≥35 kg m −2 undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery were randomly allocated to mechanical ventilation with a tidal volume of 8 ml kg −1 predicted body weight and (i) an RM followed by individualized PEEP titrated using electrical impedance tomography (PEEP IND ) or (ii) no RM and PEEP of 5 cm H 2 O (PEEP 5 ). Gas exchange, regional ventilation distribution, and EELV (multiple breath nitrogen washout method) were determined before, during, and after anaesthesia. The primary end point was the ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen to inspiratory oxygen fraction ( P aO 2 / F iO 2 ). Results For PEEP IND ( n =25) and PEEP 5 ( n =25) arms together, P aO 2 / F iO 2 and EELV decreased by 15 kPa [95% confidence interval (CI) 11–20 kPa, P <0.001] and 1.2 litres (95% CI 0.9–1.6 litres, P <0.001), respectively, after intubation. Mean (sd) PEEP IND was 18.5 (5.6) cm H 2 O. In the PEEP IND arm, P aO 2 / F iO 2 before extubation was 23 kPa higher (95% CI 16–29 kPa; P <0.001), EELV was 1.8 litres larger (95% CI 1.5–2.2 litres; P <0.001), driving pressure was 6.7 cm H 2 O lower (95% CI 5.4–7.9 cm H 2 O; P <0.001), and regional ventilation was more equally distributed than for PEEP 5 . After extubation, however, these differences between the arms vanished. Conclusions In obese patients, an RM and higher PEEP IND restored EELV, regional ventilation distribution, and oxygenation during anaesthesia, but these differences did not persist after extubation. Therefore, lung protection strategies should include the postoperative period. Clinical trial registration German clinical trials register DRKS00004199, www.who.int/ictrp/network/drks2/en/.
