Positive end-expiratory pressure and postoperative pulmonary complications in laparoscopic bariatric surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study compares the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients with obesity undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery (LBS) under general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, China National Knowledge Internet, Wanfang database, and Google Scholar for studies published up to July 29, 2023, without time or language restrictions. The search terms included "PEEP," "laparoscopic," and "bariatric surgery." Randomized controlled trials comparing different levels of PEEP or PEEP with zero-PEEP (ZEEP) in patients with obesity undergoing LBS were included. The primary outcome
