1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

backgroundBoth general anesthesia and pneumoperitoneum insufflation during abdominal laparoscopic surgery can lead to atelectasis and impairment in oxygenation. Setting an appropriate level of external PEEP could reduce the occurrence of atelectasis and induce an improvement in gas exchange. However, in clinical practice, it is common to use a fixed PEEP level (i.e., 5 cmH

methodsTwelve consecutive patients scheduled for abdominal laparoscopic surgery were enrolled in this prospective study. The EIT Timpel Enlight 1800 was applied to each patient and a dedicated pneumotachograph and a spirometer flow sensor, integrated with EIT, constantly recorded respiratory mechanics. Gas exchange, respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics were recorded at five time points: T0, baseline; T1, after induction; T2, after pneumoperitoneum insufflation; T3, after a recruitment maneuver; and T4, at the end of surgery after desufflation.

resultsA titrated mean PEEP of 8 cmH

conclusionsEIT, used as a non-invasive intra-operative monitor, enables the rapid assessment of lung volume and regional ventilation changes in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery and helps to identify the "optimal" PEEP level in the operating theatre, improving ventilation strategies.
