Conditions

Anesthesia

Brief summary

General anesthesia lowers FRC thereby promoting airway closure and absorption atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment manoeuvers recruit collapsed alveoli, increase gas exchange, and improve arterial oxygenation.

Detailed description

General anesthesia lowers FRC thereby promoting airway closure and absorption atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment manoeuvers recruit collapsed alveoli, increase gas exchange, and improve arterial oxygenation. However, the effect of recruitment manoeuvre is short lasting and does not extend to the post operative period. Postoperative CPAP keeps the lung open and can improve oxygenation in the early postoperative period.

Interventions

DEVICEEngström Datex-Ohmeda ICU Ventilator

patients will be mechanically ventilated and a vital capacity manoeuvre for lung inflation will be done by increasing the PIP to 35 cmH2o for 15 seconds followed by PEEP until extubation.

DEVICEPostoperative CPAP mask

patients will be mechanically ventilated and a vital capacity manoeuvre for lung inflation will be done by increasing the PIP to 35 cmH2o for 15 seconds followed by PEEP until extubation and a CPAP mask will be applied immediately postoperative.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
(A-a) DO21 hour after extubationarterial blood gas will be withdrawn 1 hour after extubation and the alveolar minus arterial oxygen difference will be calculated for assessment of oxygenation

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
PaCO2intra-operative and 1hour postoperativearterial blood gas samples will be withdrawn to assess PaCO2.
PHintra-operative and 1hour postoperativearterial blood gas samples will be withdrawn to assess PH.
Respiratory mechanicsIntraoperativeintra-operative ventilator data will be recorded to measure respiratory mechanics such as dynamic and statistic compliance
PaO2intra-operative and 1hour postoperativearterial blood gas samples will be withdrawn to assess Pa O2.
Heart rateintraoperative and 1hour postoperativethe heart rate will be recorded before and after recruitment manoeuvre, after pneumoperitonium, and after pneumoperitonium deflation and early postoperative..
Peripheral arterial oxygenation SPO2%intraoperative and 1hour postoperativeThe SPO2% will be recorded before and after recruitment manouvre, after peumoperitoneum inflation and after pneumoperitoneum deflation and early postoperative
non invasive mean arterial pressureintraoperative and 1hour postoperativenon invasive mean arterial pressure will be recorded before and after recruitment manouvre, after pneumoperitonium and after pneumoperitonium deflation
