Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(RALP) has been used to treatment of prostate cancer since 2001. RALP offers some advantage such as reduced blood loss, sparing nerves, less postoperative pain. However, RALP require steep Trendelenberg position with pneumoperitoneum. It can cause increased airway peak pressure and unwanted hemodynamic effect under conventional volume controlled ventilation(VCV). Autoflow-VCV use decelerating flow, can reduce airway peak pressure and improve dynamic compliance.
We will compare parameters(arterial blood gas analysis, airway compliance, etc) when each group applied VCV and autoflow-VCV during RALP.
