Question: is this a 2) strong advice, 1) weak advice 0) no advice?

Our results showed that the 8-cm H2O PEEP could better improve ventilation (maximizing the recruitment of dependent lungs and minimizing the overdistension of nondependent lungs) and oxygenation (avoiding impairing PaO2/FiO2 and increasing the shunt upon the initiation of pneumoperitoneum) in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery, without significantly interfering with other respiratory or hemodynamic parameters.
