The Effect of Pressure-controlled Ventilation on the Respiratory Complication in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colectomy Compared With Volume-controlled Ventilation

Postoperative pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery are frequent and associated with increased morbidity and mortality and hospital length of stay. Pressure controlled ventilation will improve oxygenation indices , hemodynamics during anesthesia for laparoscopic colectomy, decreasing postoperative pulmonary complications.

Inclusion Criteria:

• American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification
• patients scheduled for laparoscopic colectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

• severe cardiopulmonary disease
