Comparative study comparing polypropylene and Polyglactin in suturing of the lung
This will be a prospective observational study where the investigator will scan patients' necks with an ultrasound and look for anatomical landmarks that may help identify the phrenic nerve.
In laparoscopic surgeries; a trocar is inserted through a small incision and an intervention is made into the peritoneal cavity. Approximately 3-4 liters of carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation (inflating the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide gas) is applied and the intra-abdominal pressure is adjusted to 10-20 mmHg. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy operation is routinely performed with 12 mmHg and 14 mmHg pressures in our operating room, and the preferred pressure value is; It is determined by the surgical team to be the most appropriate value for the patient and the operation. Both pressure values applied to the patients intraoperatively are within safe ranges. The mechanical power of ventilation (MP) is the amount of energy transferred per unit time from the mechanical ventilator to the respiratory system. Although this energy is mainly used to overcome airway resistance, some of it directly affects the lung tissue, potentially causing ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). To prevent ventilator-associated lung injury, it requires the mechanical ventilator to be adjusted so that the least amount of energy is transferred to the respiratory system per unit time for each patient. In the results obtained in the published studies; increased mechanical strength has been associated with increased in-hospital mortality, higher hospital stay and higher ICU follow-up requirement. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two different intra-operative intra-abdominal pressure levels applied to patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia on 'Mechanical Power (MP)'.
The goal of this observational study is to identify the association between FSTL1 elevation and acute lung injury (ALI) after pediatric liver transplantation.The main questions it aims to answer what the risk factors are for ALI in children and to evaluate the predictive value for the development of ALI.Participants will be divided into non-ALI group and ALI group according to whether they had ALI in a week after liver transplantation.Researchers will compare the difference between the two groups and use multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors of ALI, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of risk factors.
The goal of this observational study is to identify the risk factors for early acute lung injury (ALI) after liver transplantation in children .The main questions it aims to answer are what the risk factors are for early ALI in children and to evaluate the predictive value for the development of ALI.Participants will be divided into non-ALI group and ALI group according to whether they had ALI in a week after liver transplantation.Researchers will compare the difference between the two groups and use multivariate logistic regression analysis to screen the risk factors of ALI, and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of risk factors.
This study aims to verify the prediction model of postoperative pulmonary complications by collecting clinical information on elderly patients. In addition, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in elderly patients before and after using the prediction model was compared.
During bronchodilator tests, it's common to ask patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to take bronchodilator therapy by inhaling after a maximal exhalation, when the respiratory system volume equals the residual volume. The same maneuver is required for the chronic therapy. Nevertheless, in patients with COPD the distribution of ventilation is more heterogeneous, especially when lung volumes are closer to residual volume . It is therefore predictable that the distribution of air volume containing bronchodilator that has been inhaled at residual volume is more heterogeneous than at higher volumes, such as at functional residual capacity. Accordingly, the bronchodilator can be preferentially distributed in more open airways than in less patent ones, with a heterogeneous distribution of the medication. Therefore, the overall bronchodilation should be greater when the drug inhalation is performed at functional residual capacity than at residual volume. It is common knowledge that the effectiveness of bronchodilator therapy with pMDI in subjects with COPD is greatly affected by the inhalation technique, which can be difficult to perform for many patients. Therefore, in addition to the possibility that inhalation of bronchilation therapy at residual volume could lower the drug effectiveness, this maneuver complicates the sequence of actions required to the patient, enhancing the risk of errors and decreasing the aderence to treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the inhalation of a bronchodilator at different lung volumes can affect its effectiveness in terms of respiratory function, in patients with COPD. Assuming that the bronchodilator effectiveness is equal or greater when inhaled at functional residual capacity rather than at residual volume, the inhalation maneuver can be simplified for patients with COPD.
The impact of mechanical ventilation on intracranial perfusion is still not completely clarified. It is often assumed that raising airway pressure will invariably elevate the intracranial pressure, but this is not always the case. The effects of airway pressure on intracranial pressure can depend on several factors, and among others, an uncontrolled expiration and consequent lung collapse may have an influence on cerebral perfusion. This study will investigate the incidence and the consequences of an uncontrolled expiration and expiratory lung collapse in critically ill neurosurgical patients during controlled mechanical ventilation. Electrical impedance tomography measurements , oesophagus and gastric pressure, electrical activity of the diaphragm and intracranial pressure will be acquired in a synchronised manner during controlled mechanical ventilation. Moreover, airway opening pressure, expiratory flow limitation and recruitment/inflation ratio will be determined during controlled mechanical ventilation, on a daily bases until the patient recover his/her own spontaneous breathing.
Aortic dissection (AD) is one of the most dangerous cardiovascular emergencies, with rapid onset, rapid progression, high fatality rate, and a variety of life-threatening complications. Acute lung injury (ALI) caused by AD is an important cause of many adverse outcomes. Studies have confirmed that 34.9% to 53.8% of AAD patients have ALI before surgery, and Impaired preoperative lung function may lead to worse oxygenation after AD surgery. The pathophysiological mechanism of AD-induced ALI is complex. A variety of preoperative and intraoperative risk factors can induce or aggravate ALI, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, and inflammatory reactions. At present, the clinical use of improved surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass perfusion, early anti-inflammatory treatment, and protective lung ventilation can reduce and improve perioperative ALI to a certain extent, but it is still not ideal. In recent years, inhibition of neutrophil activation and aggregation, and reduction of neutrophil elastase activity as targets for the treatment of inflammatory injury have also become an important clinical treatment measure, in order to further reduce the body's inflammatory response to improve and alleviate ALI. Sivelestat sodium, as a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, is the only approved therapeutic drug for ALI/ acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the world. It is precisely by reducing the inflammatory infiltration of neutrophils and inhibiting neutrophil elastase activity, thereby exerting a certain protective effect on the lungs. The study takes patients with AD surgery as the research object. On the basis of not terminating and changing the original treatment plans, sivelestat sodium was added in the perioperative period to observe the incidence, and severity of ALI/ARDS in the perioperative period. It aims to explore the efficacy and safety of sivelestat sodium in the treatment of pulmonary insufficiency after AD arch surgery under hypothermic circulatory arrest.
