Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Adult patients undergoing non-emergent intra-abdominal or pelvic robot-assisted surgery with an expected duration of at least 2 hours, under general anesthesia with planned extubation at the end of the procedure

Exclusion

Known pregnancy
Pre-existing intubation or tracheostomy
Contraindications for esophageal manometry: severe midface trauma or recent nasal surgery, esophageal varices, recent gastric or esophageal surgery
Contraindications for electrical impedance tomography (EIT): inability to place EIT belt, presence of an active electronic implantable device (e.g., pacemaker, ICD)
  • ΔEELV between baseline and after extubation before leaving the operating room.Perioperative Day 0: From pre-intubation baseline in the operating room (prior to induction of anesthesia) to the first post-extubation EIT assessment (within 10 min after extubation on Day 0).

    Change in end-expiratory lung volume (EELV), measured using electrical impedance tomography between baseline and after extubation before leaving the operating room.
