Atelectasis

Brief summary

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.

Detailed description

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. A total of 96 neurosurgical patients under supine position were selected with an estimated operation time of more than 2 hours. Patients were randomly assigned to low-oxygen concentration (30%FiO2) L group, or high-oxygen concentration (60%FiO2) H group, and both groups received lung protective ventilation strategies. The main outcome was the comparison of postoperative atelectasis volume between the two groups. Secondary outcomes were the comparison of intraoperative oxygenation index and postoperative changes in diaphragm height between the two groups.

Interventions

Before anesthesia induction, the participants inhaled pure oxygen through the mask for 5 mins. After successful anesthesia induction, Fio2 will be adjusted to 30%, and the total gas flow rate will be set at 2L/min. All patients will be performed via the lung protective ventilation strategy. The respiratory parameters are VT: 6-8ml/kg, PEEP: 6-8 cmh2O, RR: 1:2, and respiratory rate will be adjusted by maintaining a partial pressure of carbon dioxide at 35-45 mmHg. Manual lung recruitment maneuvers will be performed after tracheal intubation and before tracheal extubation, however when intraoperative oxygen saturation is less than 92% the manual lung recruitment maneuver will be done too. Arterial blood will be collected twice for blood gas analysis, the first once is in the non-oxygen inhalation state before anesthesia induction and the second is 30min before the end of surgery. Patients in both groups will be extubated in the operating room and then sent to the PACU.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the occurrence of atelectasisOn the operating room within 40 minutes after awakeningThe primary outcome is the occurrence of atelectasis scanned by computerized tomography in the operating room within 40 minutes after awakening.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
oxygenation indexOn the operating room within 40 minutes after awakeningThe secondary outcome is the comparison of the oxygenation index between the two groups, which is calculated and compared from the results of intraoperative blood gas analysis.
bilateral diaphragmatic musclesOn the operating room within 40 minutes after awakeningBy comparing the preoperative and postoperative lung CT, the distance between the two lungs to the bilateral diaphragmatic muscles will be calculated and compared.
