Pressure-controlled ventilation with volume guarantee compared to volume-controlled ventilation with equal ratio in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy

Abstract

In obese females undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy surgeries, PCV-VG was superior to VCV with ERV as it provided higher dynamic compliance and lower peak inspiratory pressure that could be preferable, especially in those patients in whom cardiopulmonary function could be more susceptible to impairment.
