Comparison of VCV and PCV-VG modes on diaphragmatic function in diabetic patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery: a prospective randomized controlled study

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effects of VCV and PCV-VG ventilation modes on diaphragmatic function in diabetic patients during surgery.
• Prospective randomized controlled design
• Comparison of VCV and PCV-VG ventilation modes during laparoscopic colorectal surgery
• Assessment of diaphragmatic function and incidence of PPCs postoperatively
• PCV-VG mode reduced intraoperative mechanical power
• PCV-VG mode preserved postoperative diaphragmatic function
• No significant reduction in the incidence of PPCs was observed
