Anesthesia, General, Optic Nerve, Supratentorial Neoplasms
Conditions
Brief summary
We aim to determine the level of intraoperative PEEP that optimizes lung compliance without causing a rise in subdural pressure and if we can utilize optic nerve sheath diameter measurement as an indicator for ICP while optimizing lung compliance during supratentorial tumor surgeries.
Detailed description
Application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during general anesthesia minimizes ventilation/perfusion mismatch, intraoperative atelectasis and postoperative pulmonary complications. PEEP application in intracranial surgeries is usually avoided due to the risk of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) leading to decreased cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP). Several studies examine the effects of PEEP on subdural pressure and CPP however none examine how lung compliance is affected at the same time. Ultrasound-guided measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is an indirect indicator of raised ICP and there is limited literature on the correlation of ONSD and ICP during intracranial surgery. In this study, we aim to determine the level of intraoperative PEEP that optimizes lung compliance without causing a rise in subdural pressure and if we can utilize ONSD measurement as an indicator for ICP while optimizing lung compliance during supratentorial tumor surgeries.
Interventions
Patients will be ventilated with a PEEP of 5 cmH2O during induction of anesthesia. After craniotomy, the PEEP will be reduced to 0 cmH2O for 5 minutes and data will be collected at the end of 5 minutes. Next, PEEP will be increased to 5 cmH2O for 5 minutes and data will be collected at the end of 5 minutes. Finally, PEEP will be increased to 10 cmH2O for 5 minutes and data will be collected at the end of 5 minutes.
