In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective randomized trial aims to compare the effects of flow-controlled ventilation (FCV) and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) on intraoperative airway pressures and oxygenation in patients undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery under general anesthesia. Adult patients aged 18-65 years, with ASA physical status I-III and a body mass index of 18-30 kg/m², will be allocated to receive either FCV or VCV during routine intraoperative mechanical ventilation. Ventilatory parameters, including peak airway pressure, plateau pressure, pulmonary compliance, EtCO₂, SpO₂, and arterial blood gas variables, will be recorded at predefined time points after intubation. The primary endpoint is the PaO₂ value measured after 20 minutes in the prone position. By comparing respiratory mechanics and oxygenation between the two ventilation modes, this study aims to contribute to the optimizat
