Lung isolation technique and one-lung ventilation (OLV) are the mainstays of thoracic anesthesia. Two principal lung isolation techniques are mainly use by clinicians, the double lumen tubes (DLT) and the bronchial blockers (BB). The physiology of lung collapse during OLV is not well described in the literature. Few publications characterized scant aspects of lung collapse, only with the use of DLT and sometime in experimental animals. Two phases of lung collapse have been described. The first phase is a quick and partial secondary to the intrinsic recoil of the lung. The second phase is the reabsorption of gas contained in the alveoli by the capillary bed. The investigators plan to describe the physiology of the second phase of lung deflation using of DLT or BB, in a human clinical context.
Surgery involving the chest cavity, particularly VATS procedures, often require one-lung ventilation. The double-lumen tube (DLT) is considered the gold standard for lung isolation with different models of bronchial blockers (BB) used in special populations and circumstances. Their routine use is impeded by prolonged placement times, frequent malpositionings and higher costs when compared to the DLT, as recently reported in a meta-analysis by Clayton-Smith et al. The VivaSight™ SL+EB as a combination of a single-lumen tube with an integrated camera and a bronchial blocker allows for endobronchial placement without the use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope. An external monitor provides continuous visualization of the tracheal carina and the position of the bronchial cuff. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the VivaSight™ SL+EB when compared to a left-sided double-lumen tube and established bronchial blockers. The investigators hypothesized a reduction in time to initial lung isolation due to the simplified placement procedure compared to other bronchial blockers. Continuous intraprocedural airway visualization may allow for early detection of dislocations. Necessary repositionings may be possible without additional bronchoscopies, reducing both disruptions of ventilation and maintenance costs.
This study aims to prove that driving pressure limited ventilation is superior in preventing postoperative pulmonary complications to existing protective ventilation.
The aims of the study is to determine if end-tidal concentrations of the anaesthetic gases isoflurane and sevoflurane as measured by a standard gas monitor are related to the blood levels during one-lung ventilation.
Double lumen tube (DLT) is an enotracheal tube that facilitates one lung ventilation. The DLT exact position in the airways is verified by fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) after intubation. The VivaSight TM DL is a single use left DLT with a camera embedded in the tube's right side port. This study was designed to compare the VivaSightTM DL to the standard DLT.
Lung isolation is primordial in thoracic surgery. To achieve it, two techniques are used: the double lumen tube (DLT) and the bronchial blocker (BB). Left-sided DLT (L-DLT) is use by the majority of anesthesiologists for both left and right thoracic surgeries. Standard right-sided DLT (Rs-DLT) is rarely use since it is dif¬ficult to properly position it and that there is a risk of misalignment between the lateral orifice of the tube and the origin of the right upper lobe (RUL) bron¬chus. In 2007, the investigators have published results suggesting enlarging the Rs-DLT's lateral orifice. The modified R-DLT (Rm-DLT) was more frequently in an adequate position: 77% vs 37% of patients (p = 0.0121), and easier to reposition: 97% vs 74% of patients (p= 0.0109) in comparison to the standard R-DLT group. The data suggest the superiority of the Rm-DLT compared to Rs-DLT for optimal positioning to facilitate one-lung ventilation (OLV) during thoracic surgery. It is believed that DLT tend to provide quicker and better quality of lung collapse than BB. In 2013, investigators have demonstrated an equivalent quality of lung collapse (LC) between L-DLT and BB used with two apnea periods when initiating OLV. Complementary analysis showed a significative difference to obtain complete LC (CLC) between L-DLT for left thoracoscopy and L-DLT for right thoracoscopy and BB in right or left surgery. The investigator hypothesis is that, when using L-DLT for left video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), LC of the isolated lung will be slower and of poorer quality compare to the use of the Rm-DLT. The primary objective is to compare the delay between pleural opening (PO) and CLC in left VATS when using three lung isolation devices: 1) L-DLT and 2) Rm-DLT. Secondary objectives are: 1) to evaluate quality of LC, 2) to evaluate the level of obstruction of the lumen of the left bronchus, 3) to evaluate the quality of OLV (PaO2) 4) To collect blind surgeon's opinion about de device used and 5) to measure the delay between OLV and PO for evaluating the role of absorption atelectasis in obtaining CLC. After obtaining IRB approval, the investigators propose a study of 40 patients undergoing an elective left VATS at IUCPQ involving one lung ventilation. They will have to be 21 years or more, to read, understand and sign an informed consent at their pre-operative evaluation. This study will be prospective, randomized, and blind to thoracic surgeons.
An observational pilot study to determine the success rate of using LMA Proseal in conjuction with endobronchial blocker to provide one-lung anesthesia for thoracic surgery.
Selective lobar blockade (SLB) is a specific technique that allows collapse of the operated lobe during thoracic surgery while the other lobes are ventilated. It is associated with the improvement of arterial oxygenation during one lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic with providing adequate surgical access. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of three bronchial blockers, namely an Arndt® wire-guided endobronchial blocker, a Cohen Flexi-tip endobronchial blocker or a Fuji Uni-blocker, for achieving selective lobar collapse.
One-lung ventilation (OLV) during thoracic surgery and its effect on oxygen saturation has been discussed in multiple studies. Literature shows different ventilation strategies and possible hypoxemia has been attributed to several issues. Port-access cardiac surgical procedures ("key hole surgery" including mitral valve repair or prosthesis, tricuspid valve repair or prosthesis, atrial septal defect closure or a combination of these) require the use of OLV as well. Its effect on oxygen saturation has not been studied previously. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and patient positioning on oxygen saturation and on the progress of hypoxemia throughout OLV during port-access in comparison to oxygen saturation throughout OLV during lateral decubitus thoracotomies.
