Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) requires steep Trendelenburg positioning and pneumoperitoneum, which adversely affect respiratory mechanics and may lead to impaired postoperative oxygenation. Mechanical power (MP) has recently emerged as a comprehensive parameter reflecting the total energy delivered from the ventilator to the respiratory system and may be associated with ventilator-induced lung injury. This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether a mechanical power-targeted ventilation strategy improves postoperative oxygenation compared to standard ventilation in patients undergoing RALP. The primary outcome is the oxygenation index (OSI) at the postoperative second hour. Secondary outcomes include PaOâ‚‚/FiOâ‚‚ ratio, postoperative pulmonary complications, and length of hospital stay.
