The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three open-lung strategies on respiratory function and lung injury in protective ventilation for laparoscopic anterior resection. It aims to answer whether a periodic alveolar recruitment maneuvers (PARM) strategy alone was an appropriate open-lung strategy in intraoperative protective ventilation. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive one of three open-lung strategies in protective ventilation: PARM alone (alveolar recruitment maneuvers \[ARM\] repeated every 30 min), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) alone (a PEEP of 6 to 8 cm H2O), or a combination of PEEP and PARM (a PEEP of 6 to 8 cm H2O combined with ARM repeated every 30 min). The primary outcome is the mechanical power before the end of intraoperative mechanical ventilation. Secondary outcomes included the accumulative intraoperative mechanical power, an arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) / inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO2) ratio (P/F ratio) before the end of intraoperative mechanical ventilation, the rates of respiratory failure at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and three postoperative days, the concentration of soluble advanced glycation end products receptor (sRAGE) and Clara cell protein 16 (CC16) at the end of surgery, postoperative pulmonary complications score, postoperative hospitalization days and so on.
