Background and objective Induction of anaesthesia promotes collapse of dependent lung regions in both obese and nonobese patients. We hypothesized that end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) may be more sensitive than oxygenation to evaluate the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) after anaesthesia induction.Methods Forty patients (20 nonobese patients and 20 obese patients) were prospectively studied. After anaesthesia induction, PEEP was adjusted in a stepwise fashion [zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP), PEEP 5 cmH(2)O and PEEP 10 cmH(2)O]. At each step, we measured EELV, static elastance, gas exchange and dead space. Other than changing PEEP, respiratory settings were kept constant throughout.Results Anaesthesia induction and ZEEP both lowered EELV by 39% in nonobese patients and 59% in obese patients (both P
