anaesthesia in dorsal recumbency can result in hypoventilation and in the development of intrapulmonary shunts (Oura et al. 2012). The respiratory dysfunction is associated with formation of atelectasis in dependent lung areas‚ which can impair pulmonary compliance‚ gas exchange and oxygenation (Staffieri et al. 2007; De Monte et al. 2013). Such alterations may be prevented by using mechanical ventilation‚ which can be adjusted in terms of fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2)‚ positive end-expiratory
