Does Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure as Estimated by Transthoracic Echocardiography Alter the Effect of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure on Arterial Blood Gases and Hemodynamics in Morbidly Obese Patients?

BACKGROUND: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) at the time of induction increases oxygenation by preventing lung atelectasis. However, PEEP may not prove beneficial in all cases. Factors affecting the action of PEEP have not been elucidated well and remain controversial. Pulmonary vasculature h...
