Reports from Seoul National University describe recent advances in pneumoperitoneum

Investigators publish new data in the report 'Effect of pre-emptive alveolar recruitment strategy before pneumoperitoneum on arterial oxygenation during laparoscopic hysterectomy.' "In a randomised, controlled, single-blind trial, we examined the effect of a pre-emptive alveolar recruitment strategy on arterial oxygenation during subsequent pneumoperitoneum. After intubation, 50 patients were randomly allocated to receive either tidal volume 10 ml/kg with no positive end-expiratory pressure (group C) or alveolar recruitment strategy of 10 manual breaths with peak inspiratory pressure of 40 cmH₂ O plus positive end-expiratory pressure of 15 cmH₂ O before gas...
