Randomized Controlled Trial[Effect of mechanical ventilation with different tidal volumes on the respiratory function during general anesthesia].
To determine the effect of mechanical ventilation with different tidal volumes on the respiratory function during general anesthesia and to seek optimum way and parameters of mechanical ventilation during general anesthesia. ⋯ The optimum tidal volume of mechanical ventilation is not 4 mL/kg at the rate of 15 respiratory rate during general anesthesia in the supine position because of a high arterial carbon dioxide tension. Yet 6-8 mL/kg is better for neurosurgical anesthesia. Increasing the tidal volume alone may not improve the respiratory function impairment during general anesthesia.
