Brief summary

Carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum and clasp-knife positioning are commonly used to improve surgical access during robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery. However, these methods are sometimes associated with several unwanted cardiopulmonary effects such as increased mean arterial pressure, decreased pulmonary compliance and functional residual capacity, increased peak inspiratory pressure, and respiratory acidosis in association with hypercarbia. Volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) is the most commonly used method of ventilation during general anesthesia. It provides fixed minute ventilation and pulmonary resistance, which affect airway pressure. In pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), constant inspiratory airway pressure can be achieved by decelerating the flow. However, minute ventilation is not fixed . CO2 pneumoperitoneum in the clasp-knife positioning can influence hemodynamic variables, including blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output. This is because changes in airway pressure affect intrathoracic pressure and the function of the heart itself. In this randomized study, we investigated the effects of VCV and PCV on peak inspiratory pressure during robot-assisted laparoscopic urological surgery involving CO2 pneumoperitoneum in the clasp-knife position.

Detailed description

After careful screening, 60 patients were enrolled in the trial. The investigators monitored patients' breathing, circulation and carbon metabolism by measuring arterial gas, cardiac output monitoring, respiratory parameters and circulation parameters at different times in both groups of patients.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALrecord Hemodynamic variables, respiratory variables and arterial blood gas at specific times

Hemodynamic variables, respiratory variables and arterial blood gas were measured and recorded 15 minutes after induction of anesthesia (T1), 15 minutes after establishment of a folding knife position (T2), 30 and 60 minutes after CO2 pneumoconiosis (T3 and T4), and 15 minutes after pneumoconiosis (T5). Hemodynamic variables measured included mean arterial pressure , heart rate , cardiac output, cardiac index, stroke volume index and stroke volume variation. Breathing variables include tidal volume, minute ventilation , respiratory rate , airway frontal pressure , mean airway pressure , plateaus airway pressure , peripheral oxygen saturation , oxygen saturation , and oxygen response . Arterial blood gas variables include pH value, arterial carbon dioxide, arterial oxygen pressure , alkali surplus , alveolar oxygen pressure , and bicarbonate of soda ion concentration .
