SUMMARY
In the last years, several studies have shown that both types of ARMs are effective in improving respiratory mechanics and gas exchange in the intraoperative period. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a sustained inflation (ARMi) maneuver followed by 5 cmH2 O of PEEP compared to a stepwise (ARMc), in which the best PEEP was identified as the minimum PEEP level resulting in the highest static compliance. To test the hypothesis, respiratory system mechanics, hemodynamic, and gas exchange parameters were studied and compared at predetermined times of the study . . .
