Timing of Recruitment Maneuver in Robotic Prostate Surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In robotic prostate procedures, CO2 pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning can reduce lung volumes and lead to atelectasis and postoperative pulmonary complications. The trial randomizes adults undergoing elective robotic prostate surgery to receive a recruitment maneuver either before insufflation in the supine position or after insufflation and positioning, with individualized PEEP after the maneuver. Both groups have decremental PEEP titration to optimize oxygenation and lung mechanics. Outcomes focus on postoperative pulmonary complications and intraoperative respiratory parameters in a neutral medical-journalism tone.
