Filter by:The aim of our study is to assess the beneficial effect of sustained inflations as a recruitment manoeuvre, using LUS examinations, on the degree of lung atelectasis that occurs in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Objectives - To assess the effect of general anaesthesia and capnoperitoneum on lung atelectasis in the paediatric patients by using LUS examination - To assess the effect of sustained inflations as a recruitment manoeuvre in decreasing lung atelectasis caused by general anaesthesia and capnoperitoneum by using LUS examination Hypothesis Our main hypothesis is that the use of repeated Sustained Inflation as a recruitment manoeuvre in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery will result in decreased atelectasis compared to conventional ventilation.
Investigators conduced in the Neurological Rehabilitation Unit of the IRCCS "S.Maria Nascente - Fondazione Don Gnocchi", (Milan) a retrospective study on 19 patients hospitalized between September 2018 and February 2021, with the aim of comparing the efficacy of the two devices, MetaNeb® and Intrapulmonary Percussion Ventilation (IPV®). The efficacy was evaluated considering the change of various measures after two weeks of treatment. The main outcome considered is the atelectasis score, assigned by two radiologists who blindly and retrospectively evaluated it on high-resolution computed tomography (HRTC) images
This study was a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled, two-arm study. This study will be conducted in the First Hospital of China Medical University. the investigators aimed to investigate the effects of different inspired oxygen concentrations in lung protective ventilation strategies on immediate postoperative atelectasis and intraoperative changes of oxygenation index in patients undergoing neurosurgical surgery in the supine position.
The purpose of this study is to describe the design, methodology and evaluation of the preclinical test of Carebot AI CXR software, and to provide evidence that the investigated medical device meets user requirements in accordance with its intended use. Carebot AI CXR is defined as a recommendation system (classification "prediction") based on computer-aided detection. The software can be used in a preclinical deployment at a selected site before interpretation (prioritization, display of all results and heatmaps) or after interpretation (verification of findings) of CXR images, and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Given this, a retrospective study is performed to test the clinical effectiveness on existing CXRs.
Robotic and laparoscopic surgeries are tend to cause lung atelectasis due to the insufflation of CO2 into abdomen. However, ultrasonographic measurement for this phenomenon and its clinical use is not well investigated. In this particular study, It is aimed to observe lung ultrasound score (LUS) changes in robotic and laparoscopic supine position surgeries such as prostatectomies and cystectomies. LUS is a pragmatic measurement method that calculates the degree of atelectasis and consolidation in the lungs. Both hemithoraxes are separated into 3 different segments with vertical lines (one between the parasternal line and anterior axillary line, one between the anterior and posterior axillary line, and one posterior to the posterior axillary line). These vertical segments are also divided into two with an horizontal line on the nipple. Lung ultrasonography is applied in all 12 zones for both lungs in the intercostal regions and a scoring system is used. Accordingly, pure A lines (transverse frequent lines) reflects normal lung tissue with no consolidation and scored as zero points (Also named "A"). If less than 4 B lines (vertical lines reflecting some degree of consolidation) is observed, it refers to 1 point (named "B1"). 4 or more B lines refers to 2 points (B2), and if wide and coalesced B lines or patchy pleural line is observed that refers to 3 points (C). All evaluations will be made in supine position. In this trial, LUS will be applied in three different time points: T1: 5 minutes after orotracheal intubation T2: At the end of surgery, before extubation (under deep anesthetic state) T3: 30 minutes after extubation, in postanesthesia care unit During the surgery and the postoperative care period standart monitorization and mechanical ventilation data will be gathered. Also intraoperative and postoperative blood gas analysis will be obtained to observe oxygenation changes. This study is planned as a prospective observational study and our hypothesis is that LUS scores would be lower in acute postoperative period with robotic and laparoscopic surgeries. Therefore primary outcome is the numeric change in T3 and T1. Secondarily, LUS scores will be evaluated between robotic group and laparoscopic group patients for all time points.
Introduction: At present, the best spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) during weaning from mechanical ventilation is a 30-min test with pressure support (PSV) 8 cmH2O without positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). There is a debate about the possible collapse of some alveolar units during such SBT and during extubation with continuous suctioning. A few experiences show extubation without suctioning as feasible and safe. Lung ultrasound is a non invasive and useful exploration tool to assess the lung aeration. Hypothesis: Techniques aimed at preserving lung volume during SBT and extubation can yield higher rates of successful extubation. The preserved lung volume of each SBT and extubation strategy can be assessed by using lung ultrasound. Primary objective: To define the rates of successful extubation in two extubation approaches aiming at different levels of lung volume preservation: standard SBT (30-min PSV 8 cmH2O without PEEP followed by extubation with continuous suctioning) versus experimental SBT (PSV8+ PEEP 5 cmH2O followed by extubation without suctioning). To define the lung aeration levels using the modified Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) of each SBT strategy. Secondary objectives: Reintubation rate, ICU and hospital stays, and mortality in each group. To define the diaphragm and intercostal thickness and thickening fraction in different levels of lung volume preservation. Design: Prospective, multicenter, randomized study. Two opposing extubation strategies are compared in randomly assigned patients.The level of aeration is assessed using lung ultrasound.
In pregnancy, cephalal shift of the diaphragm caused by the enlarged uterus reduces the functional residual capacity and may increase the closure volume and predispose the pregnant woman to airway closure, leading to atelectasis. The development of atelectasis due to dermatomes retained in spinal anesthesia and intraoperative supine position may increase further. Oxygen therapy to be applied may also lead to absorption atelectasis by causing hyperoxia. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of oxygen support on the lungs in cesarean section operations under spinal anesthesia by lung ultrasound score and oxygen reserve index.
Laparoscopic surgeries may cause atelectasis on the lungs which may stay clinically occult after the surgery. Lung Ultrasound Scoring (LUS) can provide an objective measuring system to understand the condition of the lungs in the perioperative period. In this randomized controlled study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of one single recruitment maneuver (RM) just before emergence and extubation (at the end of surgery) on LUS scores and postoperative recovery room oxygenation in laparoscopic nephrectomy surgeries. Accordingly, the intervention group will be applied single RM before extubation, while the control group will be awaken without RM. There will be LUS evaluation at 4 different time for intervention group (Group RM) points that are: T1: 5 min after the intubation T2: At the end of surgery (After skin closure, before recruitment maneuver) T3(RM): After recruitment maneuver, before extubation T4: 30 minutes after extubation in the recovery room LUS evaluation will be made at 3 different time points in control group (Group NoRM): T1: 5 min after the intubation T3(NoRM): Before extubation (no recruitment maneuvers will be made) T4: 30 minutes after extubation in the recovery room. The primary outcome is the comparison of the T3 LUS scores. Assuming a 40% difference in the T3 LUS score, total number of 30 patients were calculated to be included in the study with an alpha value of 0.05 and 95% power. A possible drop-out of 5 patients per group, 20 patients were planned to be enrolled in each group. Secondary outcomes will include; difference in T4 LUS scores, the effect of RM on postoperative recovery room oxygenation, and the effect of deltaLUS (T3-T2) on postoperative recovery room oxygenation.
Statement of the problem: • Does the thoracic block technique has effect on atelectasis in Children on Mechanical Ventilation? Null hypothesis: • there is effect of thoracic block technique on atelectasis in children on Mechanical ventilation.
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is one of the most useful procedures for diagnosing and treating respiratory illnesses to figure out symptoms like hemoptysis, wheezing, or cough. Furthermore, FOB is a frequent method, in intensive care units, for both diagnoses of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and treatment of atelectasis with bedside sedation.) Propofol is often used in anesthesia for endoscopic treatments. Using propofol for deep anesthesia may be indicated to prevent the patient from feeling discomfort before FOB and to reduce the chance of complications. Although major complications of FOB such as hypoxia and pneumothorax are known, there are limited studies showing its effects on cardiac hemodynamics. The cardiac effects of laryngoscope and intubation were investigated by using different anesthetic agents. In this study, we evaluated the effect of bronchoscopy with BIS-controlled sedation on ECG in ICU patients by monitoring the QT interval and P interval.
