Background Driving pressure (ΔP = Plateau pressure-PEEP) is highly correlated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and appears to be a promising indicator for optimizing ventilator settings. We hypothesized that dynamic, individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) guided by ΔP could reduce postoperative atelectasis and improve intraoperative oxygenation, respiratory mechanics, and reduce the incidence of PPCs on elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Methods Fifty-one elderly patients who were subject to laparoscopic surgery participated in this randomized trial. In the PEEP titration group (DV group), the PEEP titration was decremented to the lowest ΔP and repeated every 1 h. Additional procedures were also performed when performing predefined events that may be associated with lung collapse. In the constant PEEP group (PV group), a PEEP of 6 cmH 2 O was used throughout the surgery. Moreover, zero PEEP was applied during the entire procedure in the conventional ventilation group (CV group). The primary objective of this study was lung ultrasound score noted at the end of surgery and 15 min after admission to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) at 12 lung areas bilaterally. The secondary endpoints were perioperative oxygenation function, expiratory mechanics, and the incidence of the PPCs. Results The lung ultrasound scores of the DV group were significantly lower than those in the PV group and CV group ( P    0.05). The lung static compliance (Cstat) and ΔP at all the intraoperative time points in the DV group were significantly better compared to the PV group and the CV group ( p  &lt; 0.05). Conclusions Intraoperative titrated PEEP reduced postoperative lung atelectasis and improved respiratory mechanics in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Meanwhile, standard PEEP strategy is not superior to conventional ventilation in reducing postoperative pulmonary atelectasis in laparoscopic surgery.
