Filter by:At our institute,during the first 2 hour postoperative, we used to give supplement oxygen via face mask in patient having lung resection surgery. After then if the patient is fine, we'll replace the face mask with nasal cannular untie the next morning. We hypothesized that oxygen mask can be replace by nasal cannular without any hypoxia.
All patients were premedicated with oral midazolam 5-15 mg. one hour before surgery. General anesthesia with double lumen endobronchial tube was given. Patient was induced by propofol and fentanyl. Cisatracurium was given to facilitate intubation. Patient was ventilated with 50% oxygen in air. Anesthesia was maintained with propofol and fentanyl in order to keep blood pressure and heart rate within 20% of the baseline. Cisatracurium was given every 30 minutes in order to control ventilation. At the end of surgery, neuromuscular blockade was reversed.In PACU, the I.V. PCA machine was connected to the patient. The setting of PCA was basal infusion of morphine 1 mg/hr bolus of morphine 1 mg with lockout interval 5 minutes and 4-hour limit 30 mg.The patient's mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate were recorded before induction, before intubation, at 15, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after intubation, and at 4, 8,16 and 24 h after surgery. The total amounts of fentanyl, propofol and magnesium sulphate were recorded. The time between the cessation of magnesium sulphate and extubation was recorded. The amounts of morphine usage at 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after surgery were recorded. Pain score was evaluated at rest and deep breath and sedation score at 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours after surgery using numeric rating scale (NRS). Sedation score was graded as 0 = fully awake, 1 = somnolence, responds to call, 2 = somnolence, responds to tactile stimulation, 3 = asleep, responds to painful stimulation. The times that the patient first sipping, taking food, sitting at the edge of bed and walk with help were also recorded. The side effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus and respiratory depression were recorded. Cost effective analysis was also evaluated.
Rationale: respiratory complications are the most frequent complications following lung resection and represent a noticeable cause of mortality. Benefits from non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in acute respiratory failure are now clearly demonstrated. The use of preventive NIV after lung resection, in the absence of acute respiratory failure and/or hypercarbia, could be justified by the physiological benefits expected. The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of post-operative NIV in moderate-to-severe COPD, for prevention of respiratory complications. Material and Methods: This is a prospective randomised multicenter trial with an open parallel design in moderate-t-o-severe COPD patients hospitalised in thoracic surgery for lung resection. Expected results: This study will determine whether post-operative NIV decreases the incidence of acute respiratory events (acute respiratory failure) and whether some subgroups of patients benefit more from this strategy. Conclusion: This study should help evaluating the utility of post-operative NIV after lung resection.
