Correlation between body mass index (BMI) and PEEP in supine position without capnoperitoneum (A, B) and Trendelenburg position with capnoperitoneum (C, D). Dotted lines represents the best fit. Open Lung PEEP (Supine) = 0.45 * BMI—0.6 (R2 = 0.51; p < 0.0001). Best Compromise PEEP (Supine) = 0.34 * BMI + 0.1 (R2 = 0.42; p = 0.0003). The correlation between PEEP and BMI was not statistically significant in Trendelenburg position
