About this trial

This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of two different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels (5 cmH₂O and 8 cmH₂O) on respiratory mechanics in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery in the prone position under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). Prone positioning may adversely affect lung compliance and gas exchange, making optimal ventilatory strategies essential. Driving pressure and mechanical power are considered key determinants of ventilator-induced lung stress. This study will evaluate the impact of different PEEP levels on respiratory parameters and intraoperative physiological changes.
