Brief summary

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) has been accepted as a first-line treatment option for urinary stones smaller than 2 cm and is generally performed under general anesthesia to manipulate respirator-related renal mobility. Many surgeons prefer general anesthesia during RIRS to minimize respiration-related renal mobility. Standard mechanical ventilation settings were still inadequate to limit renal mobility and the surgeons tried to find the most effective ventilation mode to minimize renal mobility.

Detailed description

A standard general anesthesia protocol is given to all patients by the same anesthesiologist. A Drager Primus (Germany) mechanic ventilator (MV) is preferred for general anesthesia. The MV will determine the tidal volume and respiration frequency according to the patient's age and weight with end-tidal CO2 levels of 30-35 mmHg. Standard ventilation mode is 8-10 mL/kg tidal volume and 10-15 respirations/min. During HV mode, the tidal volume will decrease to 6-8 mL/kg and the frequency will increase to 15-18 respirations/min. No changes are made in the inspiratory expiratory ratio (1:2), FiO2, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) parameters. The ventilation mode of the mechanic ventilator (SV or HV) is determined via randomization software before the surgery. According to randomization, the anesthesiologist is informed about the ventilation mode but the surgeons are absolutely blind. A high ventilation mode is formed by increasing the respiration frequency and decreasing the study's tidal volume. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of this mode on the efficacy and safety of RIRS.

Interventions

PROCEDUREChanging mechanic ventilatation parameters

The tidal volume and respiration frequency were determined by the MV according to patient's age and weight with end-tidal CO2 levels of 30-35 mmHg. Standard ventilation mode was defined as 8-10 mL/kg tidal volume and 10-15 respirations/min. During HV mode, the tidal volume was decreased to 6-8 mL/kg and the frequency was increased to 15-18 respirations/min. No changes were made in the inspiratory expiratory ratio (1:2), FiO2, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) parameters.

Masking description

According to randomization, the anesthesiologist is informed about the ventilation mode but the surgeons are absolutely blind. The surgeons will perform the RIRS without knowing the type of ventilation mode.

Intervention model description

The patients will be divided randomly by a computer-generated randomization table into two equal groups.
