Filter by: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.
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 aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPIND) titration, compared to fixed positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O, on oxygenation, hemodynamic variables, and early postoperative complications in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
The investigators hypothesized that an ultrasound-guided lung recruitment maneuvers would be more effective in preventing postoperative atelectasis than conventional alveolar recruitment after surgical correction of idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.
During laparoscopic surgery, gas infiltration and head down position cause pulmonary atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers are beneficial in reopening collapsed alveoli and improving lung mechanics. Ventilator-driven Alveolar recruitment maneuvers may restore lung volume but it remains unknown which method is most effective. The primary aim was to compare the efficacy of two ventilator-driven ARMs method using incremental tidal volume or positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP) until plateau pressure 30 cmH20 (within driving pressure 20 cmH20).
This study compares a novel breathing device, called the GO2 Mouthpiece, to the standard breathing tool called the incentive spirometer, thus improving respiratory dynamics of the postoperative patient.
This study intends to explore the effect of dynamic compliance guided individualized positive end-expiratory pressure titration strategy on reducing the level of postoperative atelectasis in obese patient who have laparoscopic bariatric surgery.The results of the study are to assess the effects of this intervention on the incidenceļ¼duration of postoperative atelectasis and other complications including hypoxemia etc. after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.And reducing the burden of postoperative atelectasis on patients and their families, hospitals and public resources.
Protective ventilation strategy has been widely applied in the field of thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. Low tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and intermittent recruitment maneuver are key components of protective ventilation strategy. Recent evidence suggests that a tidal volume of 4-5 ml/kg should be applied during protective one-lung ventilation. However, optimal level of PEEP is still unclear. This study aims to investigate optimal level of PEEP to minimize postoperative atelectasis by comparing modified lung ultrasound score in patients applied protective one-lung ventilation using PEEP of 3, 6, or 9 cm of water during thoracic surgery.
Evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy on atelectasis in the perioperative period by lung ultrasound (LUS) in bariatric surgery patients.
