Filter by:Living donor nephrectomy surgeries can be performed in lateral position with laparoscopic technique which necessitates pneumoperitoneum. Considering the position and the pneumoperitoneum, lungs can be affected macroscopically. In this study, it is aimed to observe whether lungs are affected by the aforementioned entities. The hypothesis is based on possible deterioration of the lungs due to the physical features of laparoscopic nephrectomy. Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) will be used to evaluate the actual condition of lungs. Accordingly, one hemithorax is consisted of 6 different zones, and depending on the existence of vertical B lines (that refers to atelectasis and consolidation) each zone is scored 0 to 3. Higher scores reflect worse lung conditions that is associated with the severity of atelectasis. The LUS will be performed at three time points that are 5 minutes after intubation (T1), at the end of surgery and before extubation (T2), and at 30th minute in the postanesthesia care unit (T3). Primary outcome will be the difference between T1 and T3, secondary outcomes will include perioperative blood gas analyses, intraoperative mechanic ventilator parameters, intraoperative total amount of fluid given, postoperative pulmonary complications.
In anesthetized children, the incidence of lung collapse with episodes of hypoxemia is high. Diaphragmatic dysfunction induced by general anesthesia is one of the most important factors in the genesis of regional losses of lung aeration. The mass of the abdominal organs pushes the diaphragm cranially compressing the lungs in the most dependent areas. Such regional lung collapse may range from a slight loss of aeration to complete atelectasis.
This trial compares two different types of ventilation for the prevention of partial or complete collapsed lung (atelectasis) in patients undergoing interventional pulmonology procedures under general anesthesia. Ventilatory strategy to prevent reduce the intra-procedural development of atelectasis during interventional pulmonology procedures under general anesthesia.
The study aims to compare the staircase alveolar recruitment maneuver with PEEP titration versus sustained inflation alveolar recruitment maneuver by using lung ultrasound score as an indicator of improving lung atelectasis in bariatric surgery
This study will compare the effect of HFNC versus standard oxygen administration after elective esophagectomy for cancer.
To learn if LADS is better than VESPA at preventing atelectasis during a robotic bronchoscopy.
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the effects of different positions on the occurrence, regional distribution and reversibility of atelectasis by using a PulmoVista 500 monitor (Dräger. 23542 Lübeck), during general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The increase in atelectasis after induction of general anesthesia in supine and Trendelenburg position compared with baseline (spontaneous breathing) - The eventual possibility of reversal of atelectasis caused by general anesthesia and Trendelenburg position by reverse Trendelenburg position and recruitment manœuvre. Participants will be adult, autonomous and able to express their will, undergoing elective gynecological or urological surgery in the extended Trendelenburg position.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the influence of mechanical ventilation on the right ventricular (RV) function. The primary focus is on methods which are routinely used to improve gas exchange in ventilated patients (positive end expiratory pressure [PEEP], inhalation of NO, prone positioning). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Effects of prone positioning, PEEP and inhalation of NO on RV-function - Are there determinants (clinical, laboratory, demographic, echocardiographic) for the right ventricular response to the above? RV-Function will be assessed with right ventricular pressure-volume loops recorded with a conductance catheter at - each PEEP-Level during titration of the best PEEP - before and every 5 minutes (for max. 45 minutes) after rotation to prone position - before and under continuous inhalation of NO (if required based on clinical grounds)
During induction of general anaesthesia physiological breathing stops and needs to be artificially established with facemask ventilation, and finally tracheal intubation or placement of a supraglottic airway. During the airway management, when lungs are not or only poorly ventilated, there is a risk for atelectasis. These atelectasis can contribute to respiratory adverse events (e.g. pulmonary infection or respiratory insufficiency) during or after general anaesthesia. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is the administration of heated, humidified and blended air/oxygen mixture via a nasal cannula at rates ≥ 2 L/kg/min. HFNO used during airway management (i.e. intubation) can extend the tolerance for apnea, the time from end of physiological breathing until artificial ventilation is established. The main objective of this study is thus to investigate the variations of poorly ventilated lung units (i.e., silent spaces) as a surrogate for functional residual capacity measured by electrical impedance tomography to dynamically assess atelectasis formation and regression under apnoeic oxygenation with different flow rates.
The goal of this Randomized Clinical trial is to to investigate if the use of Air Pressure Release Ventilation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open heart surgery will improve post operative pulmonary outcomes 60 Patients will be randomized into two groups according to the mode of ventilation used into: Group A: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) group (30 Patients) Group B: Standard (control) group (30 Patients) Post-operatively, Patients will be ventilated with conventional Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) volume control mode
