Prolonged inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio ventilation may improve arterial oxygenation or gas exchange and respiratory mechanics in patients with obesity. We performed a randomised study to compare the effects of the conventional ratio ventilation (CRV) of 1:2 and the equal ratio ventilation (ERV) of 1:1 on arterial oxygenation and respiratory mechanics during spine surgery in overweight and obese patients. Fifty adult patients with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m 2  were randomly allocated to receive an I:E ratio either l:2 (CRV; n = 25) or 1:1 (ERV; n = 25). Arterial oxygenation and respiratory mechanics were recorded in the supine position, and at 30 minutes and 90 minutes after placement in the prone position. The changes in partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO 2 ) over time did not differ between the groups. The changes in partial arterial carbon dioxide pressure over time were significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.040). The changes in mean airway pressure (Pmean) over time were significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.044). Although ERV provided a significantly higher Pmean than CRV during surgery, the changes in PaO 2  did not differ between the two groups.
