Abstract
The guideline update outlines the advantages as well as the limitations of NIV in the treatment of acute respiratory failure in daily clinical practice and in different indications.Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has a high value in therapy of hypercapnic acute respiratory failure, as it significantly reduces the length of ICU stay and hospitalization as well as mortality.Patients with cardiopulmonary edema and acute respiratory failure should be treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and oxygen in addition to necessary cardiological interventions. This should be done already prehospital and in the emergency department.In case of other forms of acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure with only mild or moderately disturbed gas exchange (PaO2/FiO2 > 150 mmHg) there is no significant advantage or disadvantage compared to high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO). In severe forms of ARDS NIV is associated with high rates of treatment failure and mortality, especially in cases with NIV-failure and delayed intubation.NIV should be used for preoxygenation before intubation. In patients at risk, NIV is recommended to reduce extubation failure. In the weaning process from invasive ventilation NIV essentially reduces the risk of reintubation in hypercapnic patients. NIV is regarded useful within palliative care for reduction of dyspnea and improving quality of life, but here in concurrence to HFNO, which is regarded as more comfortable. Meanwhile NIV is also recommended in prehospital setting, especially in hypercapnic respiratory failure and pulmonary edema.With appropriate monitoring in an intensive care unit NIV can also be successfully applied in pediatric patients with acute respiratory insufficiency.

Abstract
Lingual tonsillar hypertrophy is rarely identified on routine airway assessment but may cause difficulties in airway management. We conducted a narrative review of case reports of lingual tonsillar hypertrophy to examine associated patient factors, success rates of airway management techniques and complications. We searched the literature for anaesthetic management of cases with lingual tonsillar hypertrophy. We found 89 patients in various case reports, from which we derived 92 cases to analyse. 64% of cases were assessed as having a normal airway. Difficult and impossible face mask ventilation occurred in 29.6% and 1.4% of cases, respectively. Difficult intubation and failed intubation occurred in 89.1% and 21.7% of cases, respectively. Multiple attempts (up to six) at intubation were performed, with no successful intubation after the third attempt with direct laryngoscopy. Some 16.5% of patients were woken up and 4.3% required emergency front of neck access. Complications included oesophageal intubation (10.9%), bleeding (9.8%) and severe hypoxia (3.2%). Our findings show that severe cases of lingual hypertrophy may cause an unanticipated difficult airway and serious complications, including hypoxic brain damage and death. A robust airway strategy is required which includes limiting the number of attempts at laryngoscopy, and early priming and performance of emergency front of neck access if required. In patients with known severe lingual tonsillar hypertrophy, awake intubation should be considered.

Effectiveness of Face mask only oxygenation and apnoeic oxygenation in addition to face mask in sustaining PaO 2 during rapid sequence induction - A randomized control trial. J Anaesthesiol Clin Pharmacol 2023; 39:366-371. [PMID: 38025566 PMCID: PMC10661640 DOI: 10.4103/joacp.joacp_392_21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Revised: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Apnoeic oxygenation, although useful during elective intubations, has not shown consistent beneficial results during emergency intubations in critically ill patients. We aimed to study the effectiveness of adding apnoeic oxygenation to our routine practice of using facemask alone, in emergency laparotomy patients needing rapid sequence induction (RSI), for sustaining partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2). Material and Methods Seventy-two patients undergoing RSI for emergency laparotomy were randomly allocated to either receive pre-oxygenation with 5 L/min of oxygen (O2) with a facemask (Group-FM) or apnoeic oxygenation with 10 L/min of O2 through a nasal catheter in addition to pre-oxygenation (Group-NC). Apnoea (90 s) was allowed from the removal of the facemask before the resumption of ventilation. Arterial blood gas analysis was done at the baseline, following pre-oxygenation and after 90 s of apnoea to study the PaO2 and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The circuit O2 concentrations (fraction of inspired [FiO2] and end-tidal [EtO2]) were also noted to ensure a steady state of O2 uptake was reached. Results The circuit O2 concentrations were 90 ± 4% in group FM and 93 ± 5% in Group-NC. The FiO2-EtO2 difference was 4% in both groups. During the 90 s apnoea following pre-oxygenation, there was a fall in the PaO2 by 38% in Group-FM and 12% in Group-NC (P = 0.000). Increase in PaCO2 was similar in both groups (Group-FM: 44 [range: 32-55] mmHg; Group-NC: 42 [range: 33-54] mmHg, P = 0.809). Conclusion Apnoeic insufflation of O2 using a nasopharyngeal catheter along with facemask oxygenation is more effective in sustaining PaO2 for 90 s during RSI than facemask-only oxygenation in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the intraindividual reproducibility of functional lung imaging using non-contrast enhanced multi breath-hold 3D-UTE MRI. METHODS Ten healthy volunteers underwent non-contrast enhanced 3D-UTE MRI at three time points for same-day and different-day measurements employing a stack-of-spirals trajectory at 3 T. At each time point, inspiratory and expiratory breathing states were acquired for tidal and deep breathing, each within a single breath-hold. For functional image analysis, fractional ventilation (FV) was calculated pixelwise after image registration from the MR signal change. To decouple FV from breathing depth, the individual lung volume was used for volume adjustment (rFV). Reproducibility evaluation was performed in eight lung segments. Statistical analyses included two way mixed intraclass correlation (ICC), sign-test, Friedman-test and modified Bland-Altman analyses. RESULTS FV from tidal breathing showed an ICC of 0.81, a bias of 1.3% and an interval of confidence (CI) ranging from -67.1 to 69.6%. FV from deep breathing was higher reproducible with an ICC of 0.92 (bias, -0.2%; CI, -34.2 to 33.7%). Following volume adjustment, reproducibility of rFV for tidal breathing improved (ICC, 0,86; bias, 2.0%; CI, -34.3 to 38.3%), whereas it did not bear significant benefits for deep breathing (ICC, 0.89; bias, 2.8%; CI, -24.9 to 30.5%). Reproducibility was independent from the examination day. CONCLUSION Non-contrast-enhanced multi breath-hold 3D-UTE MRI allows for highly reproducible ventilation imaging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atelectasis during general anesthesia is a risk for perioperative complications. EIT measurements were performed in mechanically ventilated healthy children during elective surgery to demonstrate the changes in ventilation distribution during general anesthesia. The ventilation distribution was quantified by calculating the Global Inhomogeneity index (GI). METHODS EIT measurements were performed in 23 children (9 weeks-10 years) without lung disease to detect changes in regional ventilation during elective surgery. Three previously defined time points were marked during the measurement: after intubation and start of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), change to pressure support ventilation (PSV), and after extubation (spontaneous breathing-SB). Ventilation distribution based on regions of interest (ROI) and changes in end-expiratory volume (∆EELV) were collected at these time points and compared. The Global Inhomogeneity index was calculated at the beginning of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). RESULTS With increasing spontaneous breathing, dorsal recruitment of atelectasis occurred. The dorsal ventilation fraction increased over the time of general anesthesia with increasing spontaneous breathing, whereas the ventral fraction decreased relatively (Difference ± 5.5 percentage points respectively; 95% CI; 3.5-7.4; p < 0.001). With the onset of spontaneous breathing, there was a significant reduction in end-expiratory volume (Difference: 105 ml; 95% CI, 75-135; p < 0.001). The GI of the lung-healthy ventilated children is 47% (SD ± 4%). CONCLUSION Controlled ventilation of healthy children resulted in increased ventilation of the ventral and collapse of the dorsal lung areas. Restart of spontaneous breathing after cessation of surgery resulted in an increase in ventilation in the dorsal with decrease in the ventral lung areas. By calculating the GI, representing the ratio of more to less ventilated lung areas, revealed the presumed homogeneous distribution of ventilation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION General anesthesia is associated with the development of atelectasis, which may affect lung ventilation. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive imaging tool that allows monitoring in real time the topographical changes in aeration and ventilation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the pattern of distribution of pulmonary ventilation through EIT before and after anesthesia induction in pediatric patients without lung disease undergoing nonthoracic surgery. METHODS This was a prospective observational study including healthy children younger than 5 years who underwent nonthoracic surgery. Monitoring was performed continuously before and throughout the surgical period. Data analysis was divided into 5 periods: induction (spontaneous breathing, SB), ventilation-5min, ventilation-30min, ventilation-late and recovery-SB. In addition to demographic data, mechanical ventilation parameters were also collected. Ventilation impedance (Delta Z) and pulmonary ventilation distribution were analyzed cycle by cycle at the 5 periods. RESULTS Twenty patients were included, and redistribution of ventilation from the posterior to the anterior region was observed with the beginning of mechanical ventilation: on average, the percentage ventilation distribution in the dorsal region decreased from 54%(IC95%:49-60%) to 49%(IC95%:44-54%). With the restoration of spontaneous breathing, ventilation in the posterior region was restored. CONCLUSION There were significant pulmonary changes observed during anesthesia and controlled mechanical ventilation in children younger than 5 years, mirroring the findings previously described adults. Monitoring these changes may contribute to guiding the individualized settings of the mechanical ventilator with the goal to prevent postoperative complications.

Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNO) is commonly used during the perioperative period. Its numerous physiological benefits, satisfactory tolerance and ease of use have led to its widespread application in intensive care and post-anesthesia care units. HFNO is also used in the operating theater in multiple indications: as oxygen supplementation (associated with pressurization) prior to orotracheal intubation; in digestive and bronchial endoscopies, especially in patients at risk of hypoxemia; and in intraoperative surgery requiring spontaneous ventilation (ENT, thoracic surgery…). During the postoperative period, HFNO can be used in a curative strategy for respiratory failure or in a prophylactic strategy to prevent reintubation. In a curative approach, HFNO seems of interest following cardiac or thoracic surgery but has not been evaluated in respiratory failure subsequent to abdominal surgery, in which case noninvasive ventilation remains the gold standard. The risk of respiratory complications depends on type of surgery and on patient comorbidities. As prophylaxis, HFNO is currently preferred to conventional oxygen therapy after cardiac or thoracic surgery, especially in patients at high risk of respiratory complications. For the clinician, it is important to acknowledge the limits of HFNO and to closely monitor patients receiving HFNO, the objective being to avoid delays in intubation that could lead to increased mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies focusing on the relationship between gastric volume and facemask oxygenation without ventilation during apnea in anesthesia induction are scarce. This study compared the change in gastric volume during apnea in anesthesia induction using facemask ventilation and facemask oxygenation without ventilation in adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial, 70 adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were divided into two groups to receive facemask oxygenation with and without ventilation for 60 seconds after loss of consciousness. Before anesthesia induction and after endotracheal intubation, the gastric antral cross-sectional area was measured with ultrasound imaging. Arterial blood gases were tested at baseline (T1), after preoxygenation (T2), after loss of consciousness (T3), and before and after endotracheal intubation (T4 and T5, respectively). RESULTS Sixty patients were included (ventilation n = 30; non ventilation n = 30, 10 patients were excluded). The median [IQR] change of gastric antral cross-sectional area in ventilation group was significantly higher than in non ventilation group (0.83 [0.20 to 1.54] vs. 0.10 [- 0.11 to 0.56] cm2, P = 0.001). At T4 and T5, the PaO2 in ventilation group was significantly higher than in non ventilation group (T4: 391.83 ± 61.53 vs. 336.23 ± 74.99 mmHg, P < 0.01; T5: 364.00 ± 58.65 vs. 297.13 ± 86.95 mmHg, P < 0.01), while the PaCO2 in non ventilation group was significantly higher (T4: 46.57 ± 5.78 vs. 37.27 ± 6.10 mmHg, P < 0.01; T5: 48.77 ± 6.59 vs. 42.63 ± 6.03 mmHg, P < 0.01) and the pH value in non ventilation group was significantly lower (T4: 7.35 ± 0.029 vs 7.42 ± 0.047, P < 0.01; T5: 7.34 ± 0.033 vs 7.39 ± 0.044, P < 0.01). At T4, the HCO3- in non ventilation group was significantly higher (25.79 ± 2.36 vs. 23.98 ± 2.18 mmol l- 1, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS During apnoea, the increase in gastric volume was milder in patients undergoing facemask oxygenation without ventilation than with positive pressure ventilation.

We hypothesised that low-flow nasal oxygenation (LFNO) would extend safe apnoea time similarly to high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO), whilst allowing face-mask preoxygenation and rescue. METHODS A high-fidelity, computational, physiological model was used to examine the progression of hypoxaemia during apnoea in virtual models of pregnant women in and out of labour, with BMI of 24-50 kg m-2. Subjects were preoxygenated with oxygen 100% to reach end-tidal oxygen fraction (FE'O2) of 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%. When apnoea started, HFNO or LFNO was commenced. To simulate varying degrees of effectiveness of LFNO, periglottic oxygen fraction (FgO2) of 21%, 60%, or 100% was configured. HFNO provided FgO2 100% and oscillating positive pharyngeal pressure. RESULTS Application of LFNO (FgO2 100%) after optimal preoxygenation (FE'O2 90%) resulted in similar or longer safe apnoea times than HFNO FE'O2 80% in all subjects in labour. For BMI of 24, the time to reach SaO2 90% with LFNO was 25.4 min (FE'O2 90%/FgO2 100%) vs 25.4 min with HFNO (FE'O2 80%). For BMI of 50, the time was 9.9 min with LFNO (FE'O2 90%/FgO2 100%) vs 4.3 min with HFNO (FE'O2 80%). A similar finding was seen in subjects with BMI ≥40 kg m-2 not in labour. CONCLUSIONS There is likely to be clinical benefit to using LFNO, given that LFNO and HFNO extend safe apnoea time similarly, particularly when BMI ≥40 kg m-2. Additional benefits to LFNO include the facilitation of rescue face-mask ventilation and ability to monitor FE'O2 during preoxygenation.

Abstract
To determine whether end-expiratory lung volume measured with volumetric capnography (EELVCO2) can individualize positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting during laparoscopic surgery. We studied patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery subjected to Fowler (F-group; n = 20) or Trendelenburg (T-group; n = 20) positions. EELVCO2 was measured at 0° supine (baseline), during capnoperitoneum (CP) at 0° supine, during CP with Fowler (head up + 20°) or Trendelenburg (head down - 30°) positions and after CP back to 0° supine. PEEP was adjusted to preserve baseline EELVCO2 during and after CP. Baseline EELVCO2 was statistically similar to predicted FRC in both groups. At supine and CP, EELVCO2 decreased from baseline values in F-group [median and IQR 2079 (768) to 1545 (725) mL; p = 0.0001] and in T-group [2164 (789) to 1870 (940) mL; p = 0.0001]. Change in body position maintained EELVCO2 unchanged in both groups. PEEP adjustments from 5.6 (1.1) to 10.0 (2.5) cmH2O in the F-group (p = 0.0001) and from 5.6 (0.9) to 10.0 (2.6) cmH2O in T-group (p = 0.0001) were necessary to reach baseline EELVCO2 values. EELVCO2 increased close to baseline with PEEP in the F-group [1984 (600) mL; p = 0.073] and in the T-group [2175 (703) mL; p = 0.167]. After capnoperitoneum and back to 0° supine, PEEP needed to maintain EELVCO2 was similar to baseline PEEP in F-group [5.9 (1.8) cmH2O; p = 0.179] but slightly higher in the T-group [6.5 (2.2) cmH2O; p = 0.006]. Those new PEEP values gave EELVCO2 similar to baseline in the F-group [2039 (980) mL; p = 0.370] and in the T-group [2150 (715) mL; p = 0.881]. Breath-by-breath noninvasive EELVCO2 detected changes in lung volume induced by capnoperitoneum and body position and was useful to individualize the level of PEEP during laparoscopy.Trial registry: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03693352.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) causes moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. Postoperative pain is one of the leading contributors to respiratory dysfunction following surgery. This study investigated the effect of erector spinae plane (ESP) block on postoperative analgesia and respiratory function in patients undergoing LC. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING University of Health Science. PATIENTS Sixty-eight adult patients undergoing LC. INTERVENTIONS Both groups received a standardized analgesia protocol. Patients assigned to the ESP block group received an additional bilateral ESP block. MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was assessed as postoperative pain intensity associated with a lower opioid requirement and significant respiratory function improvement. MAIN RESULTS Numerical rating scale (NRS) scores both at rest and during coughing were significantly lower in the ESP block group than in the control group at all time intervals (p < 0.001 in each) except for hour 2 postoperatively (p = 0.06 and p = 0.13, respectively). Tramadol consumption at 2 h and 24 h postoperatively was significantly lower in the ESP block group than in the controls (p < 0.001 for each). There was significant preservation in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in the ESP group in comparison to the control group at 2 and 24 h after surgery (p < 0.05 in each). FEV1/FVC and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) values were similar in each time interval. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral ESP blocks provides adequate analgesia, allowing for a lower opioid requirement and significant respiratory function improvement after LC; therefore, we concluded that ESP block could be added to the multimodal analgesia protocol in LC.

Abstract
Background Respiratory morbidity is common in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMD) owing to chronic hypoventilation and impaired cough. Optimal, cost-effective respiratory management requires implementation of clinical practice guidelines and a coordinated multidisciplinary team approach. Objectives To explore South African physiotherapists’ knowledge, perception and implementation of respiratory clinical practice guidelines for non-ventilated children with NMD. Methods An online survey was conducted amongst members of the South African Society of Physiotherapy’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation (CPRG) and Paediatric special interest groups and purposive sampling of non-member South African physiotherapists with respiratory paediatrics expertise (N= 481). Results Most respondents worked in private healthcare, with 1–10 years’ experience treating patients with NMD. For acute and chronic management, most participants recommended nebulisation and 24-h postural management for general respiratory care. Percussions, vibrations, positioning, adapted postural drainage, breathing exercises and manually assisted cough were favoured as airway clearance techniques. In addition, participants supported non-invasive ventilation, oscillatory devices and respiratory muscle training for chronic management. Conclusion Respondents seemed aware of internationally-endorsed NMD clinical practice guidelines and recommendations, but traditional manual airway clearance techniques were favoured. This survey provided novel insight into the knowledge, perspectives and implementation of NMD clinical practice guidelines amongst South African physiotherapists. Clinical implications There is an urgent need to increase the abilities of South African physiotherapists who manage children with NMD, as well as the establishment of specialised centres with the relevant equipment, ventilatory support and expertise in order to provide safe, cost-effective and individualised patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies of pulmonary denitrogenation (pre-oxygenation) in obstetric populations have shown high flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) is inferior to facemask techniques. HFNO achieves median end-tidal oxygen fraction (FE'O2) of 0.87 after 3 min. As HFNO prolongs safe apnoea times through apnoeic oxygenation, we postulated that HFNO would still extend safe apnoeic times despite the lower FE'O2 after pre-oxygenation. METHODS The Interdisciplinary Collaboration in Systems Medicine simulation suite, a highly integrated, high-fidelity model of the human respiratory and cardiovascular systems, was used to study the effect of varying FE'O2 (60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%) on the duration of safe apnoea times using HFNO and facemask techniques (with the airway open and obstructed). The study population consisted of validated models of pregnant women in active labour and not in labour with BMI of 24, 35, 40, 45, and 50 kg m-2. RESULTS HFNO provided longer safe apnoeic times in all models, with all FE'O2 values. Labour and increased BMI reduced this effect, in particular a BMI of 50 kg m-2 reduced the improvement in apnoea time to 1.8-8.5 min (depending on the FE'O2), compared with an improvement of more than 60 min in the subject with BMI 24 kg m-2. CONCLUSIONS Despite generating lower FE'O2, HFNO provides longer safe apnoea times in pregnant subjects in labour. Care should be taken when used in patients with BMI ≥50 kg m-2 as the extension of the safe apnoea time is limited.

Abstract
Background Atelectasis occurs in patients of all ages during various surgeries. Previous studies have mainly focused on perioperative atelectasis in infants. However, research on the incidence of atelectasis among elderly patients, particularly those undergoing laparoscopic surgeries, is limited. Therefore, this prospective study aimed to investigate the effect of lung recruitment maneuvers (LRMs) on the reduction of atelectasis determined by lung ultrasound in patients more than 60 years old undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma. Material/Methods In this evaluator-blinded clinical study, 42 patients more than 60 years old diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma were randomly grouped either into a lung recruitment maneuver (RM) group or control (C) group. All patients were scheduled for laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia using the lung-protective ventilation strategy. Lung ultrasonography was carried out at 3 predetermined time intervals. Patients in the RM group received ultrasound-guided recruitment maneuvers once atelectasis was discovered by lung ultrasound. Scores of lung ultrasound were used for assessing the severity of lung atelectasis. Results At the end of the operation, the occurrence of atelectasis was 100% in the RM group and 95% in the C group. After RMs, the frequency of atelectasis in the RM group and C group was 50% and 95%, respectively (P<0.01). Postoperative pulmonary complications were not different between the 2 groups. Conclusions At a single center, patients more than 60 years old undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal carcinoma had a prevalence of lung atelectasis of 100% and although LRMs significantly reduced the incidence of pulmonary atelectasis, they did not improve postoperative pulmonary complications.

Effect of positive end-expiratory pressure on gastric insufflation during induction of anaesthesia when using pressure-controlled ventilation via a face mask: A randomised controlled trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Face mask ventilation (FMV) during induction of anaesthesia is associated with risk of gastric insufflation that may lead to gastric regurgitation and pulmonary aspiration. A continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has been shown to reduce gastric regurgitation. We therefore hypothesised that CPAP followed by FMV with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during induction of anaesthesia would reduce the risk of gastric insufflation. OBJECTIVE The primary aim was to compare the incidence of gastric insufflation during FMV with a fixed PEEP level or zero PEEP (ZEEP) after anaesthesia induction. A secondary aim was to investigate the effects of FMV with or without PEEP on upper oesophageal sphincter (UES), oesophageal body and lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) pressures. DESIGN A randomised controlled trial. SETTING Single centre, Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Örebro University Hospital, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Thirty healthy volunteers. INTERVENTIONS Pre-oxygenation without or with CPAP 10 cmH2O, followed by pressure-controlled FMV with either ZEEP or PEEP 10 cmH2O after anaesthesia induction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES A combined impedance/manometry catheter was used to detect the presence of gas and to measure oesophageal pressures. The primary outcome measure was the cumulative incidence of gastric insufflation, defined as a sudden anterograde increase in impedance of more than 1 kΩ over the LES. Secondary outcome measures were UES, oesophageal body and LES pressures. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of gastric insufflation related to peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), was significantly higher in the PEEP group compared with the ZEEP group (log-rank test P < 0.01). When PIP reached 30 cmH2O, 13 out of 15 in the PEEP group compared with five out of 15 had shown gastric insufflation. There was a significant reduction of oesophageal sphincter pressures within groups comparing pre-oxygenation to after anaesthesia induction, but there were no significant differences in oesophageal sphincter pressures related to the level of PEEP. CONCLUSION Contrary to the primary hypothesis, with increasing PIP the tested PEEP level did not protect against but facilitated gastric insufflation during FMV. This result suggests that PEEP should be used with caution after anaesthesia induction during FMV, whereas CPAP during pre-oxygenation seems to be safe.

Abstract
Due to an aging population and the related growing number of less physically fit patients with multiple comorbidities, adequate perioperative care is a new and rapidly developing clinical science that is becoming increasingly important. This narrative review focuses on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS®) programmes and the growing interest in prehabilitation programmes to improve patient- and treatment-related outcomes in older patients undergoing hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery. Future steps required in the further development of optimal perioperative care in HPB surgery are also discussed. Multidisciplinary preoperative risk assessment in multiple domains should be performed to identify, discuss, and reduce risks for optimal outcomes, or to consider alternative treatment options. Prehabilitation should focus on high-risk patients based on evidence-based cut-off values and should aim for (partly) supervised multimodal prehabilitation tailored to the individual patient's risk factors. The program should be executed in the living context of these high-risk patients to improve the participation rate and adherence, as well as to involve the patient's informal support system. Developing tailored (multimodal) prehabilitation programmes for the right patients, in the right context, and using the right outcome measures is important to demonstrate its potential to further improve patient- and treatment-related outcomes following HPB surgery.

Abstract
Nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of primary and secondary pneumothorax was first reported in 1997 by Nezu. However, studies on this technique are few. Research in the past 20 years has focused on the perioperative outcomes, including the surgical duration, length of hospital stay, and postoperative morbidity and respiratory complication rates, which appear to be better than those of surgery under intubated general anesthesia. This study provides information pertaining to the physiologic, surgical, and anesthetic aspects and describes the potential benefits of nonintubated thoracoscopic surgery for the management of primary and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate arterial oxygenation during the first 4 postoperative hours in dogs administered different fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) during general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized clinical trial. ANIMALS A total of 20 healthy female dogs, weighing >15 kg and body condition scores 3-7/9, admitted for ovariohysterectomy. METHODS Dogs were randomized to breathe an FiO2 >0.9 or 0.4 during isoflurane anesthesia with intermittent positive pressure ventilation. The intraoperative PaO2:FiO2 ratio was recorded during closure of the linea alba. Arterial blood was obtained 5, 60 and 240 minutes after extubation for measurement of PaO2 and PaCO2 (FiO2 = 0.21). Demographic characteristics, duration of anesthesia, PaO2:FiO2 ratio and anesthetic agents were compared between groups with Wilcoxon tests. The postoperative PaO2, PaCO2, rectal temperature, a visual sedation score and events of hypoxemia (PaO2 < 80 mmHg) were compared between groups with mixed-effects models or generalized linear mixed models. RESULTS Groups were indistinguishable by demographic characteristics, duration of anesthesia, anesthetic agents administered and intraoperative PaO2:FiO2 ratio (all p > 0.08). Postoperative PaO2, PaCO2, rectal temperature or sedation score were not different between groups (all p > 0.07). During the first 4 postoperative hours, hypoxemia occurred in three and seven dogs that breathed FiO2 >0.9 or 0.4 during anesthesia, respectively (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results identified no advantage to decreasing FiO2 to 0.4 during anesthesia with mechanical ventilation with respect to postoperative oxygenation. Moreover, the incidence of hypoxemia in the first 4 hours after anesthesia was higher in these dogs than in dogs breathing FiO2 >0.9.

Abstract
Apnea is common after induction of anesthesia and may produce dangerous hypoxemia, particularly in obese subjects. Optimal management of airway emergencies in obese, apneic subjects is complex and controversial, and clinical studies of rescue strategies are inherently difficult and ethically-challenging to perform. We investigated rescue strategies in various degrees of obesity, using a highly-integrated, computational model of the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems, configured against data from 8 virtual subjects (body mass index [BMI] 24-57 kg m-2). Each subject received pre-oxygenation with 100% oxygen for 3 min, and then apnea with an obstructed airway was simulated until SaO2 reached 40%. At that time, airway rescue was simulated, opening of the airway with the provision of various patterns of tidal ventilation with 100% oxygen. Rescue using tidal ventilation with 100% oxygen provided rapid re-oxygenation in all subjects, even with small tidal volumes in subjects with large BMI. Overall, subjects with larger BMI pre-oxygenated faster and, after airway obstruction, developed hypoxemia more quickly. Our results indicate that attempts to achieve substantial tidal volumes during airway rescues are probably not worthwhile (and may be counter-productive); rather, it is the assurance of a high-inspired oxygen fraction that will prevent critical hypoxemia.

Abstract
Editor’s Perspective
What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) increases lung volume and protects against alveolar collapse during anesthesia. During emergence, safety preoxygenation preparatory to extubation makes the lung susceptible to gas absorption and alveolar collapse, especially in dependent regions being kept open by PEEP. We hypothesized that withdrawing PEEP before starting emergence preoxygenation would limit postoperative atelectasis formation.
Methods
This was a randomized controlled evaluator-blinded trial in 30 healthy patients undergoing nonabdominal surgery under general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation with PEEP 7 or 9 cm H2O depending on body mass index. A computed tomography scan at the end of surgery assessed baseline atelectasis. The study subjects were thereafter allocated to either maintained PEEP (n = 16) or zero PEEP (n = 14) during emergence preoxygenation. The primary outcome was change in atelectasis area as evaluated by a second computed tomography scan 30 min after extubation. Oxygenation was assessed by arterial blood gases.
Results
Baseline atelectasis was small and increased modestly during awakening, with no statistically significant difference between groups. With PEEP applied during awakening, the increase in atelectasis area was median (range) 1.6 (−1.1 to 12.3) cm2 and without PEEP 2.3 (−1.6 to 7.8) cm2. The difference was 0.7 cm2 (95% CI, −0.8 to 2.9 cm2; P = 0.400). Postoperative atelectasis for all patients was median 5.2 cm2 (95% CI, 4.3 to 5.7 cm2), corresponding to median 2.5% of the total lung area (95% CI, 2.0 to 3.0%). Postoperative oxygenation was unchanged in both groups when compared to oxygenation in the preoperative awake state.
Conclusions
Withdrawing PEEP before emergence preoxygenation does not reduce atelectasis formation after nonabdominal surgery. Despite using 100% oxygen during awakening, postoperative atelectasis is small and does not affect oxygenation, possibly conditional on an open lung during anesthesia, as achieved by intraoperative PEEP.

Surgery 2019; 166:28-33.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative complications after esophagectomy are thought to be associated with reduced fitness. This observational study explored the associations between aerobic fitness, as determined objectively by preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPEX), and 30-day morbidity after esophagectomy. METHODS We retrospectively identified 254 consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy at a single academic teaching hospital between September 2011 and March 2017. Postoperative complication data were measured using the Esophageal Complications Consensus Group definitions and graded using the Clavien-Dindo classification system of severity (blinded to cardiopulmonary exercise testing values). Associations between preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables and postoperative outcomes were estimated using logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 206 patients (77% male) were included in the analyses, with a mean age of 67 years (SD 9). The mean values for the maximal oxygen consumed at the peak of exercise (VO2peak) and the anaerobic threshold were 21.1 mL/kg/min (SD 4.5) and 12.4 mL/kg/min (SD 2.8), respectively. The vast majority of patients (98.5%) had malignant disease-predominantly adenocarcinoma (84.5%), for which most received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (79%) and underwent minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (53%). Complications at postoperative day 30 occurred in 111 patients (54%), the majority of which were cardiopulmonary (72%). No associations were found between preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables and morbidity for either VO2peak (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.94-1.07) or anaerobic threshold (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.89-1.09). CONCLUSION Preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing variables were not associated with 30-day complications after esophagectomy. The findings do not support the use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing as an isolated preoperative screening tool to predict short-term morbidity after esophagectomy. This modestly sized observational work highlights the need for larger studies examining associations between preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing and outcomes after esophagectomy to look for consistency in our findings.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to assess the incidence, risk factors for, and types of respiratory complications occurring in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Methods Patients undergoing various lumbar spine surgeries from 2007 to 2014 were identified using the PearlDiver patient record database from the nationwide insurance provider Humana Inc. Patient records were analyzed using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes and Current Procedural Terminology codes to determine the incidence of pneumonia, pleural effusion, pulmonary collapse, and acute respiratory failure for each procedure type. The incidence of these complications in patients with the risk factors diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and smoking was also examined. Results A total of 64,891 patients (33,280 females; 31,611 males) within the Humana database underwent various lumbar procedures from 2007 to 2014. The overall incidence of respiratory complications in patients undergoing lumbar procedures was 5.7% (n = 3694) within 1 month of having the procedure. Pulmonary collapse was the most common complication with an incidence of 4.3% (n = 2792), followed by pneumonia 1.98% (n = 1285), acute respiratory failure 1.97% (n = 1279), and pleural effusion 1.6% (n = 1048). For each respiratory complication studied, single level discectomy had the lowest complication rate and multilevel anterior lumbar interbody fusion had the highest complication rate. The incidence of each individual respiratory complication was higher in patients who had a history of smoking, COPD, or diabetes mellitus than it was in patients with none of these 3 risk factors (P < .01). Conclusion The results of this study show that patients who have a history of smoking, COPD, or diabetes mellitus are at a greater risk for respiratory complications following lumbar spine surgery. These findings are useful for patient selection, clinical decision-making, and preoperative counseling.

Abstract
Background Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) has been demonstrated to decrease ventilator-induced lung injury in patients under mechanical ventilation (MV) for acute respiratory failure. Recently, some studies have proposed some beneficial effects of PEEP in ventilated patients without lung injury. The influence of PEEP on respiratory mechanics in children is not well known. Our aim was to determine the effects on respiratory mechanics of setting PEEP at 5 cmH2O in anesthetized healthy children. Methods Patients younger than 15 years old without history of lung injury scheduled for elective surgery gave informed consent and were enrolled in the study. After usual care for general anesthesia, patients were placed on volume controlled MV. Two sets of respiratory mechanics studies were performed using inspiratory and expiratory breath hold, with PEEP 0 and 5 cmH2O. The maximum inspiratory and expiratory flow (QI and QE) as well as peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), plateau pressure (PPL) and total PEEP (tPEEP) were measured. Respiratory system compliance (CRS), inspiratory and expiratory resistances (RawI and RawE) and time constants (KTI and KTE) were calculated. Data were expressed as median and interquartile range (IQR). Wilcoxon sign test and Spearman’s analysis were used. Significance was set at P < 0.05. Results We included 30 patients, median age 39 (15–61.3) months old, 60% male. When PEEP increased, PIP increased from 12 (11,14) to 15.5 (14,18), and CRS increased from 0.9 (0.9,1.2) to 1.2 (0.9,1.4) mL·kg− 1·cmH2O− 1; additionally, when PEEP increased, driving pressure decreased from 6.8 (5.9,8.1) to 5.8 (4.7,7.1) cmH2O, and QE decreased from 13.8 (11.8,18.7) to 11.7 (9.1,13.5) L·min− 1 (all P < 0.01). There were no significant changes in resistance and QI. Conclusions Analysis of respiratory mechanics in anesthetized healthy children shows that PEEP at 5 cmH2O places the respiratory system in a better position in the P/V curve. A better understanding of lung mechanics may lead to changes in the traditional ventilatory approach, limiting injury associated with MV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Driving pressure (ΔP) represents tidal volume normalised to respiratory system compliance (CRS) and is a novel parameter to target ventilator settings. We conducted a study to determine whether CRS and ΔP reflect aerated lung volume and dynamic strain during general anaesthesia. METHODS Twenty non-obese patients undergoing open abdominal surgery received three PEEP levels (2, 7, or 12 cm H2O) in random order with constant tidal volume ventilation. Respiratory mechanics, lung volumes, and alveolar recruitment were measured to assess end-expiratory aerated volume, which was compared with the patient's individual predicted functional residual capacity in supine position (FRCp). RESULTS CRS was linearly related to aerated volume and ΔP to dynamic strain at PEEP of 2 cm H2O (intraoperative FRC) (r=0.72 and r=0.73, both P<0.001). These relationships were maintained with higher PEEP only when aerated volume did not overcome FRCp (r=0.73, P<0.001; r=0.54, P=0.004), with 100 ml lung volume increases accompanied by 1.8 ml cm H2O-1 (95% confidence interval [1.1-2.5]) increases in CRS. When aerated volume was greater or equal to FRCp (35% of patients at PEEP 2 cm H2O, 55% at PEEP 7 cm H2O, and 75% at PEEP 12 cm H2O), CRS and ΔP were independent from aerated volume and dynamic strain, with CRS weakly but significantly inversely related to alveolar dead space fraction (r=-0.47, P=0.001). PEEP-induced alveolar recruitment yielded higher CRS and reduced ΔP only at aerated volumes below FRCp (P=0.015 and 0.008, respectively). CONCLUSIONS During general anaesthesia, respiratory system compliance and driving pressure reflect aerated lung volume and dynamic strain, respectively, only if aerated volume does not exceed functional residual capacity in supine position, which is a frequent event when PEEP is used in this setting.

Abstract
Postoperative respiratory impairment occurs as a result of a combination of patient, surgical, and management factors and contributes to both surgical and anesthetic risk. This complication is challenging to predict and has been associated with an increase in mortality and hospital length of stay. There is mounting evidence to suggest that patients remain vulnerable to respiratory impairment well into the postoperative period, with the vast majority of adverse events occurring during the first 24 hours following discharge from anesthesia care. At present, preoperative risk stratification scores may be able to identify patients who are particularly prone to respiratory complications but cannot consistently and globally predict risk in an ongoing fashion as they do not incorporate the impact of intra- and postoperative events. Current postoperative monitoring strategies are not always continuous or comprehensive and do not dependably identify all cases of respiratory impairment or mitigate their sequelae, which may be severe and require the use of increasingly limited intensive care unit resources. As a result, postoperative respiratory impairment has the potential to cause significant downstream effects that can increase cost and adversely impact the care of other patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regional anesthesia can be used as part of the anesthetic to optimize anesthesia and analgesia during shoulder arthroplasty, but little is known about the overall effect that regional anesthesia has on perioperative outcomes and resource utilization. We hypothesized that regional anesthesia may decrease complication rates and resource utilization in shoulder arthroplasty patients. METHODS We examined administrative data from 588 US hospitals from 2010 to 2015. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between type of anesthesia and perioperative complications. RESULTS Among patients who underwent shoulder arthroplasty, 79.1% (53,243) had general anesthesia alone, 17.8% (12,011) had general anesthesia and a nerve block, and 3.1% (2062) had a nerve block alone. Overall, the complication rate was 13.3% and 30-day mortality was 1.2 per 1000 (95% CI 0.9, 1.4). In adjusted analyses, patients who had general anesthesia alone (compared to general anesthesia and nerve block) had a 16% increase in all cause infectious complications (OR 1.16, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.31) and were 2.6 times more likely to develop pulmonary complications (OR 2.6, 95% CI: 1.14, 5.78). General anesthesia alone (relative to either block only or general anesthesia and block) was associated with substantial increases in the likelihood of blood transfusions, intensive care unit transfers, and prolonged length of stay. CONCLUSION Patients receiving regional anesthesia for shoulder arthroplasty may have a reduction in perioperative complications, the need for intensive care unit transfers, blood transfusions, and prolonged hospital stays.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adequate blood oxygenation and ventilation/perfusion matching should be main goal of anaesthetic and intensive care management. At present, one of the methods of improving gas exchange restricted by ventilation/perfusion mismatching is independent ventilation with two ventilators. Recently, however, a unique device has been developed, enabling ventilation of independent lungs in 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 5:1 proportions. The main goal of the study was to evaluate the device's utility, precision and impact on pulmonary mechanics. Secondly- to measure the gas distribution in supine and lateral decubitus position. MATERIALS AND METHODS 69 patients who underwent elective thoracic surgery were eligible for the study. During general anaesthesia, after double lumen tube intubation, the aforementioned control system was placed between the anaesthetic machine and the patient. In the supine and lateral decubitus (left/right) positions, measurements of conventional and independent (1:1 proportion) ventilation were performed separately for each lung, including the following: tidal volume, peak pressure and dynamic compliance. RESULTS Our results show that conventional ventilation using Robertshaw tube in the supine position directs 47% of the tidal volume to the left lung and 53% to the right lung. Furthermore, in the left lateral position, 44% is directed to the dependent lung and 56% to the non-dependent lung. In the right lateral position, 49% is directed to the dependent lung and 51% to the non-dependent lung. The control system positively affected non-dependent and dependent lung ventilation by delivering equal tidal volumes into both lungs with no adverse effects, regardless of patient's position. CONCLUSIONS We report that gas distribution is uneven during conventional ventilation using Robertshaw tube in the supine and lateral decubitus positions. However, this recently released control system enables precise and safe independent ventilation in the supine and the left and right lateral decubitus positions.

Abstract
Isoflurane gas anesthesia is often used for immobilization of prairie dogs in field studies, laboratory research, and veterinary clinical purposes. The goals of this prospective study were to evaluate the effects of sternal versus right lateral recumbency on trends of selected physiologic parameters during isoflurane anesthesia in black-tailed prairie dogs ( Cynomys ludovicianus ). Fourteen adult, zoo-housed black-tailed prairie dogs were tested during the study. Animals were anesthetized using isoflurane and randomly placed in either sternal or right lateral recumbency to evaluate changes in trends of physiologic parameters, measured selectively every 30 min throughout a 60-min anesthesia period. Results were analyzed using linear mixed modeling. Right lateral recumbency resulted in a decrease in anion gap of about 4.6 mEq/L (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 3.1-6.0, P < 0.001), whereas sternal recumbency resulted in a lower decrease of 2.1 mEq/L (95% CI: 0.7-3.6, P = 0.02). However, the absolute values at the beginning and at the end of the anesthesia time were not significantly different between the right lateral and sternal recumbency (all P > 0.57). Body position did not have any effect on any other variables, and most of the observed physiologic changes were due to the duration of anesthesia. Our results indicate no significant effect on trends of selected physiologic parameters between sternal recumbency and right lateral recumbency during 1 hr of isoflurane anesthesia in black-tailed prairie dogs.

Regional ventilation distribution and dead space in anaesthetized horses treated with and without continuous positive airway pressure: novel insights by electrical impedance tomography and volumetric capnography. Vet Anaesth Analg 2017; 45:31-40. [PMID: 29222030 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaa.2017.06.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2017] [Revised: 05/11/2017] [Accepted: 06/15/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on regional distribution of ventilation and dead space in anaesthetized horses. STUDY DESIGN Randomized, experimental, crossover study. ANIMALS A total of eight healthy adult horses. METHODS Horses were anaesthetized twice with isoflurane in 50% oxygen and medetomidine as continuous infusion in dorsal recumbency, and administered in random order either CPAP (8 cmH2O) or NO CPAP for 3 hours. Electrical impedance tomography (and volumetric capnography (VCap) measurements were performed every 30 minutes. Lung regions with little ventilation [dependent silent spaces (DSSs) and nondependent silent spaces (NSSs)], centre of ventilation (CoV) and dead space variables, as well as venous admixture were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using multivariate analysis of variance and Pearson correlation. RESULTS Data from six horses were statistically analysed. In CPAP, the CoV shifted to dependent parts of the lungs (p < 0.001) and DSSs were significantly smaller (p < 0.001), while no difference was seen in NSSs. Venous admixture was significantly correlated with DSS with the treatment time taken as covariate (p < 0.0001; r = 0.65). No differences were found for any VCap parameters. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In dorsally recumbent anaesthetized horses, CPAP of 8 cmH2O results in redistribution of ventilation towards the dependent lung regions, thereby improving ventilation-perfusion matching. This improvement was not associated with an increase in dead space indicative for a lack in distension of the airways or impairment of alveolar perfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An unanticipated difficult airway during induction of anesthesia can be a vexing problem. In the setting of can't intubate, can't ventilate (CICV), rapid recovery of spontaneous ventilation is a reasonable goal. The urgency of restoring ventilation is a function of how quickly a patient's hemoglobin oxygen saturation decreases versus how much time is required for the effects of induction drugs to dissipate, namely the duration of unresponsiveness, ventilatory depression, and neuromuscular blockade. It has been suggested that prompt reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex will allow respiratory activity to recover before significant arterial desaturation. Using pharmacologic simulation, we compared the duration of unresponsiveness, ventilatory depression, and neuromuscular blockade in normal, obese, and morbidly obese body sizes in this life-threatening CICV scenario. We hypothesized that although neuromuscular function could be rapidly restored with sugammadex, significant arterial desaturation will occur before the recovery from unresponsiveness and/or central ventilatory depression in obese and morbidly obese body sizes. METHODS We used published models to simulate the duration of unresponsiveness and ventilatory depression using a common induction technique with predicted rates of oxygen desaturation in various size patients and explored to what degree rapid reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade with sugammadex might improve the return of spontaneous ventilation in CICV situations. RESULTS Our simulations showed that the duration of neuromuscular blockade was longer with 1.0 mg/kg succinylcholine than with 1.2 mg/kg rocuronium followed 3 minutes later by 16 mg/kg sugammadex (10.0 vs 4.5 minutes). Once rocuronium neuromuscular blockade was completely reversed with sugammadex, the duration of hemoglobin oxygen saturation >90%, loss of responsiveness, and intolerable ventilatory depression (a respiratory rate of ≤4 breaths/min) were dependent on the body habitus and duration of oxygen administration. There is a high probability of intolerable ventilatory depression that extends well beyond the time when oxygen saturation decreases <90%, especially in obese and morbidly obese patients. If ventilatory rescue is inadequate, oxygen desaturation will persist in the latter groups, despite full reversal of neuromuscular blockade. Depending on body habitus, the duration of intolerable ventilatory depression after sugammadex reversal may be as long as 15 minutes in 5% of individuals. CONCLUSIONS The clinical management of CICV should focus primarily on restoration of airway patency, oxygenation, and ventilation consistent with the American Society of Anesthesiologist's practice guidelines for management of the difficult airway. Pharmacologic intervention cannot be relied upon to rescue patients in a CICV crisis.

Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study was to determine if modification of inspired oxygen concentration or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) would alter bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)-induced changes in pulmonary mechanics or atelectasis, as measured using ventilator-acquired pulmonary mechanics and thoracic CT. Methods Six experimentally asthmatic cats underwent anesthesia and non-bronchoscopic BAL, each under four randomized treatment conditions: 100% oxygen, zero PEEP; 30% oxygen, zero PEEP; 100% oxygen, PEEP 2 cmH2O; and 30% oxygen, PEEP 2 cmH2O. Pulse oximetry was used to estimate oxygen saturation (SpO2). Ventilator-acquired pulmonary mechanics and thoracic CT scans were collected prior to BAL and at 1, 5 and 15 mins post-BAL. Results While receiving 100% oxygen, no cat had SpO2 <91%. Some cats receiving 30% oxygen had decreased saturation immediately post-BAL (mean ± SD 70.8 ± 31%), but 6/8 of these had SpO2 >90% by 1 min later. There was a significant increase in airway resistance and a decrease in lung compliance following BAL, but there was no significant difference between treatment groups. Cats receiving no PEEP and 30% oxygen conserved better aeration of the lung parenchyma in BAL-sampled areas than those receiving no PEEP and 100% oxygen. Conclusions and relevance Alterations in pulmonary mechanics or atelectasis may not be reflected by SpO2 following BAL. The use of 30% inspired oxygen concentration failed to show any significant improvement in pulmonary mechanics but did diminish atelectasis. In some cats, it was also associated with desaturation of hemoglobin. The use of PEEP in this study did not show any effect on our outcome parameters. Further studies using higher PEEP (5-10 cmH2O) and intermediate inspired oxygen concentration (40-60%) are warranted to determine if they would confer clinical benefit in cats undergoing diagnostic BAL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following preoxygenation and induction of anaesthesia, most patients develop atelectasis. We hypothesized that an immediate restoration to a low oxygen level in the alveoli would prevent atelectasis formation and improve oxygenation during the ensuing anaesthesia. METHODS We randomly assigned 24 patients to either a control group (n = 12) or an intervention group (n = 12) receiving an oxygen washout procedure directly after intubation. Both groups were, depending on body mass index, ventilated with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 6-8 cmH2O during surgery. The atelectasis area was studied by computed tomography before emergence. Oxygenation levels were evaluated by measuring blood gases and calculating estimated venous admixture (EVA). RESULTS The atelectasis areas expressed as percentages of the total lung area were 2.0 (1.5-2.7) (median [interquartile range]) and 1.8 (1.4-3.3) in the intervention and control groups, respectively. The difference was non-significant, and also oxygenation was similar between the two groups. Compared to oxygenation before the start of anaesthesia, oxygenation at the end of surgery was improved in the intervention group, mean (SD) EVA from 7.6% (6.6%) to 3.9% (2.9%) (P = .019) and preserved in the control group, mean (SD) EVA from 5.0% (5.3%) to 5.6% (7.1%) (P = .59). CONCLUSION Although the oxygen washout restored a low pulmonary oxygen level within minutes, it did not further reduce atelectasis size. Both study groups had small atelectasis and good oxygenation. These results suggest that a moderate PEEP alone is sufficient to minimize atelectasis and maintain oxygenation in healthy patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that oxygenation using pressure support ventilation (PSV) before general anaesthesia can reduce the duration of non-hypoxaemic apnoea. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine whether or not pre-oxygenation with PSV increases the duration of non-hypoxaemic apnoea in non-obese patients during pan-endoscopy. DESIGN A randomised, controlled trial. SETTING Amiens University Hospital, France. PATIENTS Fifty patients scheduled for ENT pan-endoscopy with a BMI lower than 35 kg m(-2). INTERVENTION Patients scheduled for pan-endoscopy were enrolled to receive either 100% oxygen at neutral pressure (the control group) or 100% oxygen with positive-pressure ventilation (a positive inspiratory pressure of 4 cmH2O and a positive end-expiratory pressure of 4 cmH2O; the PSV group) during spontaneous ventilation with a face mask. The goal of pre-oxygenation was to obtain an end-tidal oxygen concentration of more than 90% prior to induction of anaesthesia. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary efficacy criterion was the duration of non-hypoxaemic apnoea (i.e. before the peripheral capillary oxygen saturation fell to 90%). Secondary outcomes were duration of pre-oxygenation, pre-oxygenation failure and tolerance. RESULTS The mean (interquartile range) duration of non-hypoxaemic apnoea was longer in the PSV group [598 (447 to 717) s] than in the control group [310 (217 to 451) s] (P < 0.001). Oxygenation time was shorter in the PSV group [190 (159 to 225) s] than in the control group [245 (151 to 435) s] (P = 0.037). Pre-oxygenation was unsuccessful (i.e. end-tidal oxygen concentration was < 90%) in 20% of the patients in the control group but none in the PSV group. The intergroup difference in the duration of pan-endoscopy was not significant. Tolerance was good or very good in all patients. CONCLUSION Our results show that pre-oxygenation with PSV is associated with a longer duration of non-hypoxaemic apnoea and a lower frequency of manual reventilation during ENT pan-endoscopy.

Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the effects of diaphragmatic breathing exercises and flow and volume-oriented incentive spirometry on pulmonary function and diaphragm excursion in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Methodology. We selected 260 patients posted for laparoscopic abdominal surgery and they were block randomization as follows: 65 patients performed diaphragmatic breathing exercises, 65 patients performed flow incentive spirometry, 65 patients performed volume incentive spirometry, and 65 patients participated as a control group. All of them underwent evaluation of pulmonary function with measurement of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), and diaphragm excursion measurement by ultrasonography before the operation and on the first and second postoperative days. With the level of significance set at p < 0.05. Results. Pulmonary function and diaphragm excursion showed a significant decrease on the first postoperative day in all four groups (p < 0.001) but was evident more in the control group than in the experimental groups. On the second postoperative day pulmonary function (Forced Vital Capacity) and diaphragm excursion were found to be better preserved in volume incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic breathing exercise group than in the flow incentive spirometry group and the control group. Pulmonary function (Forced Vital Capacity) and diaphragm excursion showed statistically significant differences between volume incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic breathing exercise group (p < 0.05) as compared to that flow incentive spirometry group and the control group. Conclusion. Volume incentive spirometry and diaphragmatic breathing exercise can be recommended as an intervention for all patients pre- and postoperatively, over flow-oriented incentive spirometry for the generation and sustenance of pulmonary function and diaphragm excursion in the management of laparoscopic abdominal surgery.
