This prospective, randomized, single-blind pilot study examined the effect of standard or individualized PEEP with administration of restrictive or liberal crystalloids on peri- and post-operative pulmonary function in 98 patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy in the steep Trendelenburg position. Lung function testing was conducted using a Vitalograph Micro spirometer on the day before surgery, 60 minutes after extubation in the recovery room, and on post-operative days one and two.
