Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Comparison of Pressure- and Volume-Controlled Ventilation in Laparoscopic Surgery: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trial.
Volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) has been the traditional mechanical ventilation mode in laparoscopic surgery. Pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) has been used more frequently in recent years, especially for patients with complicated conditions; however, evidence on whether PCV is superior to VCV is still lacking. A meta-analysis was used to compare the effects of PCV and VCV on respiratory and hemodynamic parameters during laparoscopic surgery. ⋯ Our meta-analysis suggests that hemodynamic parameters are similar in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery with PCV and VCV, but patients who had PCV exhibited mildly better respiratory data.
