To add what I have done in my practice if oxygenation is an issue based on cxr and spo2, I continue going up on peep as long as driving pressure ok and definitely the “chair” position to recruit FRC. I have gone as high as peep of 20+ as long as dp is acceptable. Don’t forget to adjust peak airway threshold/limit

Thanks for this. Very insight stuff!

I’m terrified as a 400lb man of my upcoming surgery due to anesthesia. I was trying to lose more weight before it but it won’t be enough. Any tips?
