Abstract
Background Obese patients frequently develop pulmonary atelectasis upon general anesthesia. The risk is increased during laparoscopic surgery. This prospective, observational single-center study evaluated atelectasis dynamics using Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. Methods We included adult patients with ASA physical status I-IV and a BMI of ≥40. Exclusion criteria were known severe pulmonary hypertension, home oxygen therapy, heart failure, and recent pulmonary infections. The primary outcome was the proportion of poorly ventilated lung regions (low tidal variation areas) and the global inhomogeneity (GI) index assessed by EIT before discharge from the Post Anesthesia Care Unit compared to these same measures prior to initiation of anesthesia. Results The median (IQR) proportion of low tidal variation areas at the different analysis points were T1 10.8% [3.6-15.1%] and T5 10.3% [2.6-18.9%], and the mean difference was -0.7% (95% CI: -5.8% -4.5%), i.e., lower than the predefined non-inferiority margin of 5% (p = 0.022). There were no changes at the four additional time points compared to T1 or postoperative pulmonary complications during the 14 days following the procedure. Conclusion We found that obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery do not leave the Post Anesthesia Care Unit with increased low tidal variation areas compared to the preoperative period.

Lung-protective ventilation during Trendelenburg pneumoperitoneum surgery: A randomized clinical trial. J Clin Anesth 2023; 85:111037. [PMID: 36495775 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2022.111037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 12/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Study objective To assess the effects of a protective ventilation strategy during Trendelenburg pneumoperitoneum surgery on postoperative oxygenation. DESIGNS Parallel-group, randomized trial. SETTING Operating room of a university hospital, Italy. PATIENTS Morbidly obese patients undergoing Trendelenburg pneumoperitoneum gynaecological surgery. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomized to standard (SV: tidal volume = 10 ml/kg of predicted body weight, PEEP = 5 cmH2O) or protective (PV: tidal volume = 6 ml/kg of predicted body weight, PEEP = 10 cmH2O, recruitment maneuvers) ventilation during anesthesia. MEASUREMENTS Primary outcome was PaO2/FiO2 one hour after extubation. Secondary outcomes included day-1 PaO2/FiO2, day-2 respiratory function and intraoperative respiratory/lung mechanics, assessed through esophageal manometry, end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) measurement and pressure-volume curves. MAIN RESULTS Sixty patients were analyzed (31 in SV group, 29 in PV group). Median [IqR] tidal volume was 350 ml [300-360] in PV group and 525 [500-575] in SV group. Median PaO2/FiO2 one hour after extubation was 280 mmHg [246-364] in PV group vs. 298 [250-343] in SV group (p = 0.64). Day-1 PaO2/FiO2, day-2 forced vital capacity, FEV-1 and Tiffenau Index were not different between groups (all p > 0.10). Intraoperatively, 59% of patients showed complete airway closure during pneumoperitoneum, without difference between groups: median airway opening pressure was 17 cmH2O. In PV group, airway and transpulmonary driving pressure were lower (12 ± 5 cmH2O vs. 17 ± 7, p < 0.001; 9 ± 4 vs. 13 ± 7, p < 0.001), PaCO2 and respiratory rate were higher (48 ± 8 mmHg vs. 42 ± 12, p < 0.001; 23 ± 5 breaths/min vs. 16 ± 4, p < 0.001). Intraoperative EELV was similar between PV and SV group (1193 ± 258 ml vs. 1207 ± 368, p = 0.80); ratio of tidal volume to EELV was lower in PV group (0.45 ± 0.12 vs. 0.32 ± 0.09, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In obese patients undergoing Trendelenburg pneumoperitoneum surgery, PV did not improve postoperative oxygenation nor day-2 respiratory function. PV was associated with intraoperative respiratory mechanics indicating less injurious ventilation. The high prevalence of complete airway closure may have affected study results.

BJA OPEN 2022; 4:100105.

Abstract
Background Cardiac surgery produces dorso-basal atelectasis and ventilation/perfusion mismatch, associated with infection and prolonged intensive care. A postoperative lung volume recruitment manoeuvre to decrease the degree of atelectasis is routine. In patients with severe respiratory failure, prone positioning and recruitment manoeuvres may increase survival, oxygenation, or both. We compared the effects of lung recruitment in prone vs supine positions on dorsal inspiratory and end-expiratory lung aeration. Methods In a prospective RCT, 30 post-cardiac surgery patients were randomly allocated to recruitment manoeuvres in the prone (n=15) or supine position (n=15). The primary endpoints were late dorsal inspiratory volume (arbitrary units [a.u.]) and left/right dorsal end-expiratory lung volume change (a.u.), prone vs supine after extubation, measured using electrical impedance tomography. Secondary outcomes included left/right dorsal inspiratory volumes (a.u.) and left/right dorsal end-expiratory lung volume change (a.u.) after prone recruitment and extubation. Results The last part of dorsal end-inspiratory volume after extubation was higher after prone (49.1 a.u.; 95% confidence interval [CI], 37.4-60.6) vs supine recruitment (24.2 a.u.; 95% CI, 18.4-29.6; P=0.024). Improvement in left dorsal end-expiratory lung volume after extubation was higher after prone (382 a.u.; 95% CI, 261-502) vs supine recruitment (-71 a.u., 95% CI, -140 to -2; n=15; P<0.001). After prone recruitment, left vs right predominant end-expiratory dorsal lung volume change disappeared after extubation. However, both left and right end-expiratory volumes were higher in the prone group, after extubation. Conclusions Recruitment in the prone position improves dorsal inspiratory and end-expiratory lung volumes after cardiac surgery. Clinical trial registration NCT03009331.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal ventilation strategy during general anesthesia is unclear. This systematic review investigated the relationship between ventilation targets or strategies (eg, positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP], tidal volume, and recruitment maneuvers) and postoperative outcomes. METHODS PubMed and Embase were searched on March 8, 2021, for randomized trials investigating the effect of different respiratory targets or strategies on adults undergoing noncardiac surgery. Two investigators reviewed trials for relevance, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Meta-analyses were performed for relevant outcomes, and several subgroup analyses were conducted. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). RESULTS This review included 63 trials with 65 comparisons. Risk of bias was intermediate for all trials. In the meta-analyses, lung-protective ventilation (ie, low tidal volume with PEEP) reduced the risk of combined pulmonary complications (odds ratio [OR], 0.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28-0.49; 9 trials; 1106 patients), atelectasis (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.25-0.60; 8 trials; 895 patients), and need for postoperative mechanical ventilation (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.13-1.00; 5 trials; 636 patients). Recruitment maneuvers reduced the risk of atelectasis (OR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.21-0.92; 5 trials; 328 patients). We found no clear effect of tidal volume, higher versus lower PEEP, or recruitment maneuvers on postoperative pulmonary complications when evaluated individually. For all comparisons across targets, no effect was found on mortality or hospital length of stay. No effect measure modifiers were found in subgroup analyses. The certainty of evidence was rated as very low, low, or moderate depending on the intervention and outcome. CONCLUSIONS Although lung-protective ventilation results in a decrease in pulmonary complications, randomized clinical trials provide only limited evidence to guide specific ventilation strategies during general anesthesia for adults undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Recruitment Maneuver to Reduce Postoperative Pulmonary Complications after Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11195841. [PMID: 36233708 PMCID: PMC9573602 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11195841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Lung-protective ventilation strategies are recommended for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. However, there are currently no guidelines to follow regarding recruitment maneuvers (RMs). We attempted to identify the effects of RMs on patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Methods: We searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed, the Cochrane Library databases, Embase, Web of Science and the ClinicalTrials.gov registry for trials published up to December 2021. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The secondary outcomes consisted of the static lung compliance, driving pressure (DP), intraoperative oxygenation index (OI), OI in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). Seventeen RCTs with a total of 3480 patients were examined. Results: Patients who received RMs showed a considerable reduction in PPCs (risk ratio (RR) = 0.70; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.62 to 0.79; p < 0.01), lower DP (weighted mean difference (WMD) = −3.96; 95% CI: −5.97 to −1.95; p < 0.01), elevated static lung compliance (WMD = 10.42; 95% CI: 6.13 to 14.71; p < 0.01) and improved OI (intraoperative: WMD = 53.54; 95% CI: 21.77 to 85.31; p < 0.01; PACU: WMD = 59.40; 95% CI: 39.10 to 79.69; p < 0.01) without substantial changes in MAP (WMD = −0.16; 95% CI −1.35 to 1.03; p > 0.05) and HR (WMD = −1.10; 95% CI: −2.29 to 0.10; p > 0.05). Conclusions: Recruitment maneuvers reduce postoperative pulmonary complications and improve respiratory mechanics and oxygenation in patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. More data are needed to elucidate the effect of recruitment maneuver on the circulatory system.

Abstract
The development of pulmonary atelectasis is common in the surgical patient. Pulmonary atelectasis can cause various degrees of gas exchange and respiratory mechanics impairment during and after surgery. In its most serious presentations, lung collapse could contribute to postoperative respiratory insufficiency, pneumonia, and worse overall clinical outcomes. A specific risk assessment is critical to allow clinicians to optimally choose the anesthetic technique, prepare appropriate monitoring, adapt the perioperative plan, and ensure the patient's safety. Bedside diagnosis and management have benefited from recent imaging advancements such as lung ultrasound and electrical impedance tomography, and monitoring such as esophageal manometry. Therapeutic management includes a broad range of interventions aimed at promoting lung recruitment. During general anesthesia, these strategies have consistently demonstrated their effectiveness in improving intraoperative oxygenation and respiratory compliance. Yet these same intraoperative strategies may fail to affect additional postoperative pulmonary outcomes. Specific attention to the postoperative period may be key for such outcome impact of lung expansion. Interventions such as noninvasive positive pressure ventilatory support may be beneficial in specific patients at high risk for pulmonary atelectasis (e.g., obese) or those with clinical presentations consistent with lung collapse (e.g., postoperative hypoxemia after abdominal and cardiothoracic surgeries). Preoperative interventions may open new opportunities to minimize perioperative lung collapse and prevent pulmonary complications. Knowledge of pathophysiologic mechanisms of atelectasis and their consequences in the healthy and diseased lung should provide the basis for current practice and help to stratify and match the intensity of selected interventions to clinical conditions.
