About this trial

Atelectasis is a common complication in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia, particularly in obese patients. Postoperative atelectasis could last for more than 24h and contribute to a variety of other complications, including hypoxemia and pneumonia. We plan to conduct a single-center, randomized controlled trial in patients undergoing bariatric surgery to test the hypothesis that driving pressure guided PEEP could reduce the postoperative atelectasis.
