An observational study in Peep Titration in Lung Protective Ventilation, sponsored by Kocaeli University. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-03.
Sponsored by Kocaeli University · Observational
Our aim in this study is to compare fixed and individualized PEEP (driving pressure guided ) application for intraoperative lung protective ventilation in patients undergoing on-pump CABG surgery.
Researcher aimed to compare the effects of two different PEEP application methods on intraoperative hemodynamics, respiratory mechanics, and gas exchange, as well as postoperative extubation times, respiratory complications (atelectasis, need for non invasive mechanical ventilatıon, need for re-entubatıon) length of stay in the intensive care unit, and discharge times.
The primary goal of the researchers: To compare the effects of fixed PEEP versus driving pressure guided individualized PEEP in lung protective mechanical ventilation during on-pump open heart surgery effect of PaO2/ FiO2 ratio end of surgery.
The secondary goals of the researchers: To compare intraoperative hemodynamics, lung compliance and airway pressures, extubation time and respiratory complications [development of atelectasis, need for noninvasive mechanical ventilation (high-flow nasal cannula or CPAP application), need for re-intubation], length of stay in the ICU and discharge times.

Patients who will undergo elective on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery under general anesthesia

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

BMI (body mass index)
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
