Filter by:This study aims to investigate the feasibility of a driving pressure limited mechanical ventilation strategy compared to a conventional strategy in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation during Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.
The investigator will evaluate the influence of lung protective ventilation on postoperative clinical outcome in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation for pulmonary lobectomy.
The aim of this prospective, observational study is to determine the incidence of post-operative residual neuromuscular blockade (PRNB) in patients undergoing intra-abdominal procedures compared to patients undergoing other noncardiac/non intra-thoracic procedures that also require non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) administration. As intra-abdominal surgeries are independently associated with post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs), it is important to highlight other factors, such as PRNB, that could contribute to these complications.Although it has been shown that the risk of adverse respiratory events can be reduced by intra-operative quantitative neuromuscular monitoring, such monitoring is not in widespread use.This study will incorporate quantitative monitoring in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) setting by using the Stimpod NMS450® in an effort to show a disparity in the incidence of residual paralysis between these two patient populations and to emphasize the need to implement more accurate neuromuscular monitoring, especially for those that are already at increased risk for respiratory complications.
To evaluate the use of Incentive Spirometry in Non-critically Ill Hospitalized Patients With Shortness of Breath.
The investigator will evaluate the influence of lung protective ventilation on postoperative clinical outcome in pediatric patients. The hypothesis is that application of low tidal volume, intermittent alveolar recruitment and adequate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) would be more beneficial than conventional ventilation in children.
