EFFECT OF ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE-GUIDED PEEP IN REDUCING PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS AFTER CRANIOTOMY: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Effect of electrical impedance-guided PEEP in reducing pulmonary complications after craniotomy: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study is to explore whether electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided individualized animed aniflex complete positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can reduce the incidence of pulmonary complications within 1 week following a craniotomy compared with a single PEEP (PEEP = 6 cmH2O) from dura suturing to ext
