View clinical trials related to Atelectasis.
Filter by:Perioperative respiratory complications are a major source of morbidity and mortality. Postoperative atelectasis plays a central role in their development. Protective "open lung" mechanical ventilation aims to minimize the occurrence of atelectasis during the perioperative period. Randomized controlled studies have been performed comparing various "open lung" ventilation protocols, but these studies report varying and conflicting effects. The interpretation of these studies is complicated by the absence of imagery supporting the pulmonary impact associated with the use of different ventilation strategies. Imaging studies suggest that the gain in pulmonary gas content in "open lung" ventilation regimens disappears within minutes after the extubation. Thus, the potential benefits of open-lung ventilation appear to be lost if, at the time of extubation, no measures are used to keep the lungs well aerated. Recent expert recommendations on good mechanical ventilation practices in the operating room conclude that there is actually no quality study on extubation. Extubation is a very common practice for anesthesiologists as part of their daily clinical practice. It is therefore imperative to generate evidence on good clinical practice during anesthetic emergence in order to potentially identify an effective extubation strategy to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.
The goal of this observational study is to learn more about the effect of obstetric epidural anesthesia on regional lung ventilation in healthy parturient women. The main question it aims to answer is whether the initiation or epidural analgesia improves or not regional lung ventilation in healthy women at term during labor. Participants will be subject to measurements of pulmonary impedance by electric impedance tomography before and after the start of epidural analgesia. No change will be applied to clinical care as a result of this measurement.
This study will investigate the distribution of gas during mechanical ventilation in patients undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. The gas distribution of ventilation are monitored and data extracted using electric impedance tomography in different respiratory rates.
The study aims to compare the staircase alveolar recruitment maneuver with PEEP titration versus sustained inflation alveolar recruitment maneuver by using lung ultrasound score as an indicator of improving lung atelectasis in bariatric surgery
Background: Atelectasis occurs in the majority of patients with general anesthesia, which can lead to postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) and affect the postoperative outcome. However, there is still no exact method to prevent it though agents. S-ketamine may prevent atelectasis due to its airway smooth muscle relaxation and anti-inflammatory effects. Lung ultrasound is a portable and reliable bedside imaging technology for diagnosing anesthesia-induced atelectasis. Here, we intend to assess whether small-dose of S-ketamine can reduce the incidence of atelectasis after intubation under general anesthesia using lung ultrasound, in order to prevent the early formation of perioperative atelectasis and perioperative pulmonary complications. Methods: The trial is a single institution, prospective, randomized controlled, parallel grouping, double-blind study. From October 2021 to March 2022, 100 patients (18-60 years old) scheduled for elective surgery will be recruited from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, and randomly assigned to the S-ketamine group (Group S) and the normal saline group (Group N) at a ratio of 1:1. The label-masked agents will be given 5 minutes before induction and all patients will undergo a standardized general anesthesia protocol. Related data will be collected at three time point: after radial artery puncture (T1), 15 minutes after tracheal intubation (T2) and before extubation (T3). The primary outcome will be the total LUS scores at T2. Secondary outcomes include LUS scores in 6 chest regions at T2; total LUS scores at T3; arterial blood-gas analysis results (PaCO2, PaO2) and PaO2/FiO2 at T2 and T3, plateau pressure(Pplat) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) at T2 and T3; the incidence of postoperative complications associated with S-ketamine and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) 2 and 24 hours after surgery；. Discussion: This trial aims to explore whether a simple and feasible application of S-ketamine before the induction of general anesthesia can prevent atelectasis. The results of this study may provide new ideas and direct clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of perioperative pulmonary complications during anesthesia.

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy plays a very important role in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases in children.In China,this procedure is mainly performed under two different anesthesia methods：sedation and general anesthesia(GA) . Which is better ? there are still a lot of controversies . Several early retrospective studies suggest that, in addition to the possible increase in costs, general anesthesia in intraoperative complications, postoperative recovery and other aspects did not bring significant improvement. But clinically we observed that children under sedation often can not cooperate, they often shows anxiety,restless,crying,and so on, under these situation, some restraint measures may be used, which may have an impact on the child's neuropsychological development. Therefore ,we design this study ,aiming to compare the influence between sedation and general anesthesia (GA) on children 's neuropsychological development.
