Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of sevoflurane and remimazolam on arterial oxygenation during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Detailed description

One lung ventilation (OLV) is a mechanical ventilation method used during thoracic surgery to collapse the non-ventilated lung and secure the surgical field. During one lung ventilation, the pulmonary artery of the collapsed lung undergoes vasoconstriction in response to hypoxia, which increases the blood flow of the normally ventilated lung as a compensatory physiological response. This is known as hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Therefore, by using HPV, arterial blood oxygenation can be maintained and pulmonary shunting can be reduced, preventing hypoxemia during one lung ventilation. The two most commonly used anesthetics in thoracic surgery are sevoflurane, an inhaled anesthetic, and propofol, an intravenous anesthetic. Previous studies have shown that there were no significant differences between two anesthetics on arterial oxygenation during one lung ventilation because sevoflurane administered in clinical concentrations of 1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) resulted in similar changes in shunt fraction as did propofol. However, the effect of remimazolam on arterial blood oxygenation and intrapulmonary shunt during one lung ventilation has not been revealed. Therefore, this study is designed to compare the effect of remimazolam and sevoflurane anesthesia on arterial oxygenation during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Interventions

DRUGRemimazolam

To induce anesthesia, remimazolam is continuously infused in a dose of 6mg/kg/hr with remifentanil (Ce of 1-4ng/ml) by target-controlled infusion (TCI). Maintenance dose of remimazolam is 1mg/kg/hr, up to 2mg/kg/hr, and remifentanil is titrated to maintain the bispectral index (BIS) between 40 and 60 to achieve appropriate anesthetic depth during general anesthesia. Inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) 1.0 is used during mask ventilation and tracheal intubation. During two lung ventilation (TLV), tidal volumes (8mL/kg predicted body weight), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5cmH2O with FiO2 0.3 is applied. At the start of one lung ventilation(OLV), tidal volumes (5mL/kg predicted body weight), PEEP 5cmH2O with FiO2 0.8 is applied. Intraoperative ventilatory frequency is 12 breaths/min, subsequently adjusted to maintain end tidal CO2(ETCO2) ranged between 35-40mmHg.

DRUG1% propofol

To induce anesthesia, 1% propofol 1.5-2.5mg/kg is used with remifentanil (Ce of 1-4ng/ml) by target-controlled infusion (TCI). After patient loses consciousness, anesthesia is maintained through the inhalation of sevoflurane between 1-2 minimum alveolar concentrations (MAC), and remifentanil is titrated to maintain the bispectral index (BIS) between 40 and 60 to achieve appropriate anesthetic depth during general anesthesia. Inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) 1.0 is used during mask ventilation and tracheal intubation. During two lung ventilation (TLV), tidal volumes (8mL/kg predicted body weight), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5cmH2O with FiO2 0.3 is applied. At the start of one lung ventilation(OLV), tidal volumes (5mL/kg predicted body weight), PEEP 5cmH2O with FiO2 0.8 is applied. Intraoperative ventilatory frequency is 12 breaths/min, subsequently adjusted to maintain end tidal CO2(ETCO2) ranged between 35-40mmHg.
