Filter by:In our study, we aimed to detect atelectasis developing in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia using transthoracic lung ultrasonography and to investigate the effect of ventilation methods used during recovery from anesthesia on the formation of postoperative atelectasis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the frequency of use of incentive spirometry during the stay in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) increases with visual and auditory electronic reminders, as compared to not having those reminders.
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.
During cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), oxygenation of the patient on the pump can be left completely under pump control, or the lungs can be ventilated with low tidal volume to reduce atelectasis. In recent years, the concept of mechanical power has been used to determine the extent of ventilator-related lung damage. This concept of mechanical power, by which the energy transferred by the ventilator to the lungs can be calculated, will be measured at certain intervals in CPB surgery patients on the pump and compared between the two groups. The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of two different ventilation methods on mechanical power and its relationship with postoperative pulmonary complications.
The goal of this study is to compare two continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) settings on heart and lung function in patients with severe obesity after anesthesia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does a recruitment maneuver and CPAP set to intrathoracic pressure (ITP) improve cardiopulmonary function compared to standard CPAP settings in patients with severe obesity after anesthesia? 2. Does the location of adipose tissue influence the response to CPAP settings in patients with severe obesity after anesthesia? Participants will undergo monitoring of their intrathoracic pressure using an esophageal catheter. In the recovery area after anesthesia, participants will receive two CPAP settings, each for 20 minutes. - Intervention 1: Recruitment maneuver and CPAP will set to the level of intrathoracic pressure - Intervention 2: CPAP set to home settings (if OSA is present) or between 8-10 cmH20 (if OSA is not present).
Pain management is important after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Intravenous morphine is the gold standard for pain relief, but its sedation, cough suppression and decreased bowel movements limit its use. Analgesia with regional methods after surgery provides effective analgesia by reducing morphine consumption. In this study we have planned to compare the erector spina plane block with parasternal block +local infiltration to chest tube areas.
The optimization of ventilation is especially important during general anaesthesia, when active, physiologic respiration suspends and is replaced by non-physiologic mechanical positive pressure ventilation. Aiming at preserving compliance of lung tissue to guarantee an effective gas exchange is to avoid an excessive pressure application, especially in extreme positioning of the patient (Trendelenburg positioning) and/or pneumoperitoneum resulting in additional non-physiologic intrathoracic pressure. Perioperative lung protection strategies have steadily improved in recent years to reduce complications from mechanical ventilation, but postoperative pulmonary complications remain a risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to assess the effectiveness of different methods of lung recruitment maneuver on the incidence of atelectasis in adults undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery using lung ultrasound Participants will be divided into three groups as: Control group, sustained inflation group (SI) and Stepwise Positive end expiratory pressure increasing group(Third group). Each contains 31 patients. Control Group = Keep parameters all through the procedure without any changing GROUP(SI) = After abdominal deflation, we will apply sustained inflation by adjusting Adjustible pressure Limiting valve 40 centimetres water on spontaneous mode, holding the bag for 30 second. Third group = After abdominal deflation, we will apply stepwise Positive Pressure increasing by 2 centimetres water every 5 breathing cycles till reaching 12 centimetres water and keeping it till extubation, with a maximum airway pressure not exceeding 40 centimetres water.
This study will use lung ultrasounds (LUS) to evaluate the incidence and severity of intraoperative atelectasis in anesthetized children undergoing minor surgery using a laryngeal mask airway. The children will be randomly assigned to be left in spontaneous ventilation with a Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 5cmH2O or to be ventilated with a pressure support mode.
With the rapid advancement of thoracoscopic surgery in recent years, surgeons have set higher standards for the quality of non-ventilated lung collapse. In a prior investigation, we examined a unidirectional valve device that let air exit the non-ventilated side of the lung but not enter during ventilation and showed the use of this device during one-lung ventilation (OLV) for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery could speed up lung collapse, lower endogenous positive end-expiratory pressure, and have no discernible effects on oxygenation. In light of this, we conducted this study to further demonstrate, by comparison with the commonly used clinical technique of occluding the non-ventilated endobronchial lumen during one-lung ventilation, that this unidirectional valve device can quicken and enhance the quality of lung collapse without raising the risk of adverse events when used in thoracoscopic surgery.
