The impact of pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning on respiratory system mechanics during laparoscopic pelvic surgery in children: a prospective observational study

Conclusion The PNP12 significantly decreases Cdyn/kg and VT/kg in pediatric patients. The use of TDG20 produces a relatively minor additional impact in respiratory mechanics. This study emphasizes the need to adjust ventilator settings to maintain normal gas exchange during this procedure.
