| Pressure-limited ventilation was used during the case. PIP: peak inspiratory pressure; Vt: expiratory tidal volume; RR: respiratory rate; bpm: breathes/minute; PEEP: positive end expiratory pressure; FiO2: fraction of inspired oxygen; SpO2: pulse oximeter oxygen saturation; EtCO2: end tidal CO2; I:E: inspiratory to expiratory time ratio. | ||||
