View clinical trials related to Pulmonary Atelectasis.
Filter by:Recruitment maneuver is frequently used in daily anaesthesia routine to prevent athelectasia and ventilation perfusion mismatch. Especially pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic surgeries affects the functional residual capacity (FRC) negatively. Recently, FRC can be measured at bedside in intensive care units. The lack of studies evaluating FRC measurements peroperatively and how recruitment maneuvers affect it, attract attention.
the evaluation of distribution of mechanical ventilation during robotic surgery
General anesthesia is associated with loss of pulmonary functional residual capacity and consequent developement of atelectasis and closure of the small airway. Infants and young children are more susceptible to this lung collapse due to their small functional residual capacity. Mechanical ventilation in a lung with reduced functional residual capacity and atelectasis increased the dynamic alveolar stress-strain inducing a local inflammatory response in atelectatic lungs areas know as ventilatory induced-lung injury (VILI). This phenomenon may appear even in healthy patients undergoing general anesthesia and predisposes children to hypoxemic episodes that can persist in the early postoperative period. During laparoscopy, pneumoperitoneum may aggravate the reduction of functional residual capacity as it generates a further increase in intra-abdominal pressure. The increase in alveolar stress-strain cloud be reduced during pneumoperitoneum in theory, if normal functional residual capacity is restored and the transpulmonary pression is reached at the end of expiration of 0-1 cmH2O.
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 incidence，duration 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.
This study evaluates the influence of surgical and anesthesia-related variable on atelectasis formation during laparoscopic gynecologic oncologic surgery by lung ultrasound.
During robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, pneumoperitoneum with Trendelenburg position is used. However, perioperative atelectasis and respiratory complications may occur with high incidence due to general anesthesia and carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. Intraoperative ventilatory strategy to address these issues include intraoperative recruitment maneuver and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Recently, individualized optimal PEEP with minimal driving pressure or maximal respiratory compliance was reported to reduce respiratory complications after general anesthesia. A recent version of general anesthesia ventilator provides a stepwise procedure of determining optimal PEEP by calculating respiratory compliance. We investigated whether the application of individualized optimal PEEP could reduce the incidence of atelectasis and respiratory complications after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy compared to uniform PEEP.
General anaesthesia results in developement of atelectasis in dependent areas of the lungs exposing patients to an increased risk of hypoxaemia.During pelvic robotic surgeries pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg position further increases atelectasis. Lung Ultrasound imaging is a promising , noninvasive , non-radiant, portable tool to study intraoperative lung atelectasis.
In anesthesia the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications is frequent, especially in cardiac surgery where the incidence can reach 10%. Respiratory morbidity in cardiac surgery is favored by multiple factors and is higher compared to anesthesia in "general" surgery. The prevention of these complications is a major challenge in the management of patients. Influence of driving pressure level on respiratory morbidity was first demonstrated in management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in resuscitation. More recently, this notion has been introduced in anesthesia, with a correlation between increase driving pressure level and increase of post-operative respiratory complications. A method should reduce these levels of driving pressure: performing lung recruitment maneuvers. This technique has been successfully tested in abdominal surgery in particular in a study published by Futier et al.. They systematized and standardized lung recruitment maneuvers and showed a decrease of postoperative pulmonary complications in abdominal surgery. Thus, the realization of lung recruitment maneuvers, already used at the discretion of the practitioner, is now recommended by several teams of experts. The investigators propose in this "before-after" trial to evaluate variation in driving pressure due to systematic use of lung recruitment maneuvers, observed in patients operated in elective or urgent surgery. The secondary objective is to evaluate their impact on postoperative pulmonary complications.
Obese patients have an increased risk of developing post-operative respiratory complications due to their comorbidities. They have a restrictive ventilatory defect with reduction of lung volumes and expiratory flow limitation, higher airway resistance and collapsibility of the upper respiratory tract. These abnormalities are worsened by general anesthesia and opioid administration. It has been proved that oxygen therapy with HFNC (high flow nasal cannula) increases lung volumes through a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)-effect. This also improves gas exchange and decreases anatomical dead space. At the present time, CPAP represents the gold standard for the prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications. The purpose of this study is to evaluate lung ventilation, gas exchange and comfort with HFNC compared with CPAP during the post-operative period in patients who undergo laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
Purpose of research; to determine the appropriate positive end-expiratory pressure to minimize atelectasis during general anesthesia in infants. Study design : Application of one pressure of PEEP among 3, 6, or 9 cmH2O during mechanical positive ventilation for general anesthesia to randomly assigned infants over 6 months to 13 months of age . Immediately after the start of anesthesia (PEEP=0) and before the end of anesthesia, the score of atelectasis is measured by lung ultrasonography with the standardized method. The scores at PEEP3, PEEP6, and PEEP9 will be compared to identify the appropriate PEEP at which atelectasis is the least likely to occur during anesthesia. Medical Equipment : Ultrasonography with 6 - 13 MHz linear probe, Cardio-Q esophageal Doppler The number of target subjects: According to the results of previous studies, the lung ultrasound score by ultrasonography at the end of anesthesia was 28.5 (IQR 21.8-37) without any recruitment (PEEP 0 cmH2O) (IQR 6-21.3). When PEEP of 5 cmH2O was maintained, the lung ultrasound score is 12.5 (IQR 6-21.3), which is lower than PEEP 0. It is assumed that the score at PEEP3 is 20, the score at optimal PEEP is 10, and the standard deviation is 11. Bonferroni correction is required for statistical analysis. In comparison between the two groups, alpha is used as the Bonferroni corrected alpha level of 0.05 / 3 = 0.017. The significance level alpha is fixed at 0.017 and the number of samples considering the 10% dropout rate when the power (1-β) is 80% is required to be 30 for each group. Data analysis and statistical methods: Atelectasis score, cardiac index, peak inspiratory pressure, and dynamic compliance will be compared by t-test between groups(PEEP3 vs PEEP 6, PEEP 3 vs PEEP 9, PEEP 6 vs PEEP 9). P < 0.017 is going to be considered statistically significant.
