Read MoreAUTHORS: Brandão, Julio C. MD, PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: July 26, 2019 BACKGROUND: Pneumoperitoneum and nonphysiological positioning required for robotic surgery increase cardiopulmonary risk because of the use of larger airway pressures (Paws) to maintain tidal volume (VT). However, the quantitative partitioning of respiratory mechanics and transpulmonary pressure (PL) during robotic surgery is not […]

The results of the study could also […]
