Abstract
Background Two respiratory physiotherapy modalities were compared in a randomized controlled trial on patients undergoing minor pleuro-pulmonary surgery. Methods Forty-five patients were randomly allocated into positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy (n=23) and inspiratory muscle training (IMT) groups (n=22). Individualized group specific physiotherapeutic guidance was administered preoperatively, and once a day postoperatively. Patients also performed independent exercises and kept a logbook. Pain was assessed on a numerical reference scale (NRS). Volumetric pulmonary function values and walking distance were recorded preoperatively, and on first (POD1) and second postoperative days (POD2). Pre- and postoperative values were compared using two-way repeated measures analysis of variance. Results Patient characteristics and pleuro-pulmonary interventions were similar between the groups. Thoracotomy was performed in 14/45 and video assisted surgery (VATS) in 31/45 of cases. Preoperative volumetric pulmonary functions were normal or slightly decreased in 29/45, and fell significantly (P<0.001) on the first postoperative day (POD1) and improved but remained significantly lower on the second postoperative day. The recovery of mean FEV1, FIV1 and FIVC values was greater in the IMT than in the PEP group between POD1 and POD2, but without significant difference. The corresponding relative to preoperative values were higher in the IMT group, with a significant difference in FEV1 (P=0.045). Also relative PEF and FIV1 values seemed to be slightly higher in the IMT compared to the PEP group, but not significantly. Average NRS values for pain were lower in the IMT group (P=0.010) but only on POD1. Air leak was noted in 4/45 patients, two in each group, on POD1, and two in PEP groups and one in IMT group on POD2. Mean measured walking distances between groups did not differ. Mean hospital stay was 4 days in the PEP group and 3 days in the IMT group. There was no hospital mortality. Conclusions Pulmonary function values decreased significantly after minor lung resections, supporting rehabilitative respiratory physiotherapy to avoid postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Both PEP and IMT training were well tolerated and equally efficient when comparing spirometry values at three time points. IMT appeared advantageous regarding relative FEV1 recovery and immediate postoperative pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the respiratory effects of non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) administered by a helmet in healthy cats under anaesthesia. METHODS Fifteen healthy male cats scheduled for castration were anaesthetised with medetomidine (20 µg/kg), ketamine (10 mg/kg) and buprenorphine (20 µg/kg) intramuscularly. When an adequate level of anaesthesia was achieved, a paediatric helmet was placed on all subjects. The helmet was connected to a Venturi valve supplied with medical air and cats received the following phases of treatments: 0 cmH2O (pre-CPAP), 5 cmH2O (CPAP) and 0 cmH2O (post-CPAP). Each treatment lasted 10 mins. At the end of each phase an arterial blood sample was drawn. The following data were also collected: mean arterial pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate and the anaesthesia level score (0 = awake, 10 = deep anaesthesia). The alveolar to arterial oxygen gradient (P[A-a]O2) and the venous admixture (Fshunt) were also estimated. Data were analysed with two-way ANOVA (P <0.05). RESULTS The arterial partial pressure of oxygen was higher (P <0.001) at CPAP (103.2 ± 5.1 mmHg) vs pre-CPAP (77.5 ± 7.4 mmHg) and post-CPAP (84.6 ± 8.1 mmHg). The P(A-a)O2 and the Fshunt were lower (P <0.001) at CPAP (4.4 ± 2.3 mmHg; 7.4 ± 3.1%) vs pre-CPAP (18.9 ± 6.4 mmHg; 22.8 ± 4.6%) and post-CPAP (15.6 ± 7.3 mmHg; 20.9 ± 4.6 %). No other parameters differed between groups. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Non-invasive CPAP applied by a helmet improves oxygenation in cats under injectable general anaesthesia.

Abstract
Background Prompt and uneventful recovery after resective pulmonary surgery benefits patients by decreasing length and total costs of hospital stay. Postoperative physiotherapy has been shown to be advantageous for patient recovery in several studies and lately inspiratory muscle training (IMT) physiotherapy has been used also in thoracic patients. This randomized controlled trial intended to evaluate whether IMT is an efficient and feasible method of physiotherapy compared to water bottle positive expiratory physiotherapy (PEP) immediately after lung resections. Methods Forty-two patients were randomly allocated into two intervention groups: water bottle PEP (n=20) and IMT group (n=22). Patients were given physiotherapeutic guidance once a day and patients were also instructed to do independent exercises. Measurements of pulmonary function were compared between the treatment groups according to intention to treat by using two-way repeated measures analysis of variances at three time points (preoperative, first postoperative day, and second postoperative day). Walking distance was measured at first and second postoperative day and similarly, evaluation of postoperative air leak during exercises was performed. Physiotherapy was modified or temporarily interrupted, if necessary, because of the air leak. Results Postoperative pulmonary function tests were equal between the intervention groups. Air leak was relatively common after lung resections: 31% of all patients had mild or moderate/severe air leak at first postoperative day and 14% of all patients had mild to severe air leak at second postoperative day respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in occurrence of air leak between intervention groups, but water resistance had to be reduced or physiotherapy discontinued significantly more often among the water bottle PEP group patients (P=0.01). Walking distance improved slightly faster in the IMT group between the first and the second postoperative day when compared to the water bottle PEP group, but the difference between the groups was not statistically significant. Conclusions IMT physiotherapy is equally effective to water bottle PEP training in postoperative physiotherapy after lung resection surgery evaluated with pulmonary function tests and walking distance. In addition, IMT physiotherapy is safe and more feasible form of physiotherapy during postoperative air leak compared to water bottle PEP.

Is respiratory physiotherapy effective on pulmonary complications after lobectomy for lung cancer? TURK GOGUS KALP DAMAR CERRAHISI DERGISI-TURKISH JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY 2020; 28:638-647. [PMID: 33403137 PMCID: PMC7759043 DOI: 10.5606/tgkdc.dergisi.2020.19693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Background
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a postoperative respiratory physiotherapy program on pulmonary complications, length of hospital stay, and hospital cost after lobectomy for lung cancer.
Methods
A total of 90 patients (75 males, 15 females; mean age 63.1±10.4 years; range, 30 to 82 years) who underwent elective lobectomy through thoracotomy due to lung cancer between June 2014 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups as Group S who received standard postoperative care (n=50) and Group P who received postoperative respiratory physiotherapy in addition to standard care (n=40). Both groups were compared in terms of postoperative pulmonary complications, 30-day mortality, length of hospital stay, and hospital cost.
Results
The preoperative and surgical characteristics of the groups were similar. Group P had a lower incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (10% vs. 38%, respectively; p=0.002) than Group S. The median length of stay in the hospital was six (range, 4 to 12) days in Group P and seven (range, 4 to 40) days in Group S (p=0.001). The drug cost (639.70 vs. 1,211.46 Turkish Liras, respectively; p=0.001) and the total hospital cost (2,031.10 vs. 3,778.68 Turkish Liras, respectively; p=0.001) of the patients in Group P were significantly lower. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that respiratory physiotherapy had a protective effect on the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (odds ratio =0.063, 95% confidence interval: 0.010-0.401, p=0.003).
Conclusion
An intensive physiotherapy program focusing on respiratory exercises is a cost-effective practice which reduces the risk of development of postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing lobectomy for lung cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Increased intra-abdominal pressure in open ventral hernia repair (OVHR) is hypothesized to contribute to postoperative respiratory insufficiency (RI) or failure (RF). This study examines the impact of abdominal volumes on postoperative RI in OVHR. METHODS OVHR patients with preoperative CT scans were identified. 3D volumetric software measured hernia volume (HV), subcutaneous volume (SQV), and intra-abdominal volume (IAV). The ratio of hernia to intra-abdominal volume (HV:IAV) was calculated. A principal component analysis was performed to create new component variables for collinear volume and hernia variables. RESULTS There were 1178 OVHR patients with preoperative CT scans. Demographics included a mean BMI of 34.2 ± 7.7 kg/m2, age of 58.5 ± 12.4 years, and 57.8% were female. RI occurred in 8.3% of patients, including 4.0% requiring > 24 h respiratory support with ezPAP, CPAP, or biPAP (RI), and 4.3% requiring intubation (RF). Patients who developed RI had a higher BMI (33.8 ± 7.5 vs. 38.2 ± 9.1 kg/m2, p < 0.0001), older age (58.1 ± 12.5 vs. 62.8 ± 10.4 years, p = 0.0001), larger defects (140.9 ± 128.4 vs. 254.0 ± 173.9 cm2, p < 0.0001), HV (865.8 ± 1200.0 vs. 2005.6 ± 1791.7 cm3, p < 0.0001), and HV:IAV (0.26 ± 0.45 vs. 0.53 ± 0.58, p < 0.0001). Three PC variables accounted for 85% of variance: hernia volume PC consists primarily of HV (61.8%), ratio HV:IAV (57.7%), and defect size (50.1%) and accounts for 38.3% variance. Extra-abdominal volume PC consists primarily of SQV (63.7%) and BMI (60.8%) and accounts for 32.5% variance. Intra-abdominal volume PC is primarily IAV (75.8%) and accounts for 14.9% variance. In multivariate analysis, predictors of RI included asthma and COPD (OR 4.04, CI 1.82-8.96), hernia PC (OR 1.47, CI 1.48-1.98), EAV PC (OR 1.24, CI 1.04-1.48), increased age (OR 1.04, CI 1.01-1.06), and diabetes (OR 1.8, CI 1.11-2.91). Component separation, fascial closure, contamination, and panniculectomy were not associated with RI. CONCLUSION The impact of defect size, BMI, HV, SQV, IAV, and HV:IAV on respiratory insufficiency after OVHR is collinear. Patients with large defects and a large ratio of HV:IAV (greater than 0.5) are also at significantly increased risk of RI after OVHR. While BMI impacts these parameters, it is not directly predictive of postoperative RI.

Abstract
Background The prevention of postoperative complications is of prime importance after complex elective abdominal operations. Preoperative patient education may prevent postoperative complications and improve patients’ wellbeing, but evidence for its efficacy is poor. The aims of the PEDUCAT trial were (a) to assess the impact of preoperative patient education on postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes in patients scheduled for elective complex visceral surgery and (b) to evaluate the feasibility of cluster randomization in this setting. Methods Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) scheduled for elective major visceral surgery were randomly assigned in clusters to attend a preoperative education seminar or to the control group receiving the department’s standard care. Outcome measures were the postoperative complications pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, burst abdomen, and in-hospital fall, together with patient-reported outcomes (postoperative pain, anxiety and depression, patient satisfaction, quality of life), length of hospital stay (LOS), and postoperative mortality within 30 days after the index operation. Statistical analysis was primarily by intention to treat. Results In total 244 patients (60 clusters) were finally included (intervention group 138 patients; control group 106 patients). Allocation of hospital wards instead of individual patients facilitated study conduct and reduced confusion about group assignment. In the intervention and control groups respectively, pneumonia occurred in 7.4% versus 8.3% (p = 0.807), pulmonary embolism in 1.6% versus 1.0% (p = 0.707), burst abdomen in 4.2% versus 1.0% (p = 0.165), and in-hospital falls in 0.0% versus 4.2% of patients (p = 0.024). DVT did not occur in any of the patients. Mortality rates (1.4% versus 1.9%, p = 0.790) and LOS (14.2 (+/− 12.0) days versus 16.1 (+/− 15.0) days, p = 0.285) were also similar in the intervention and control groups. Conclusions Cluster randomization was feasible in the setting of preoperative patient education and reduced the risk of contamination effects. The results of this trial indicate good postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing major visceral surgery without superiority of preoperative patient education compared to standard patient care at a high-volume center. However, preoperative patient education is a helpful instrument not only for teaching patients but also for training the nursing staff.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study systematically review and meta-analyse the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) and length of hospital stay (LOS), both in the preoperative and/or postoperative periods of cardiac, pulmonary, and abdominal surgical patients. Sensitive analysis was performed to examine which patients benefit more from IMT according to methodological features (quality of studies and sample size), patient's characteristics (pulmonary risk stratification, age, and body mass index), type of surgery, period of training, and training protocols (training doses and level of supervision). METHODS The literature search was made in the electronic databases PubMed®, EBSCO, Web of Science®, PEDro and Scopus®. Only randomized controlled trials were included. Data extraction, quality assessment and meta-analysis were performed. RESULTS We included 17 randomized controlled trials in the systematic review, of which, 12 were included for the PPC meta-analysis and 11 for the LOS meta-analysis. IMT significantly reduced the risk of PPC (Risk Ratio (RR) = 0.50, 95%CI: 0.39, 0.64, I2 = 0.0%), and a decrease in LOS (Mean Difference = -1.41, 95%CI: -2.07, -0.75, I2 = 0.0%). CONCLUSION IMT is effective to reduce PPC and LOS in patients undergoing surgery. Implications for Rehabilitation Physiotherapy interventions with inspiratory muscle training (IMT) are effective to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) and length of hospital stay (LOS) after major surgery, and should start preoperatively. Rehabilitation with IMT is beneficial at all ages and risk levels, but older and high-risk patients benefit more, as well as pulmonary surgery patients. IMT is more effective if it is supervised, and prescription target at least two-week period, sessions with more than 15 minutes, with imposed load increment, and adding other exercise modes.

Comparison of clinical outcomes with the utilization of monitored anesthesia care vs. general anesthesia in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2016; 17:384-90. [PMID: 27133500 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2016.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2016] [Accepted: 02/04/2016] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no clear consensus in regard to the optimal anesthesia utilization during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The aim was to compare outcomes of transfemoral (TF) TAVR under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) vs. general anesthesia (GA) and evaluate the rates and causes of intra-procedural MAC failure. METHODS All consecutive patients who underwent TF TAVR from April 2007 through March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed and dichotomized into two groups: TAVR under MAC vs. GA. The main endpoints of the study included 30-day and 1-year mortality, the rates and reasons for failure of MAC, in-hospital clinical safety outcomes, and post-procedural hospital and intensive care unit length-of-stays. RESULTS A total of 533 patients (51% male, mean-age 83years) underwent TF TAVR under MAC (n=467) or GA (n=66). Fifty-six patients (12%) in the MAC group required conversion to GA. The MAC group had significantly shorter post-procedural hospital (6.0 vs. 7.9, p=0.023) and numerically shorter ICU (2.4 vs. 2.8, p=0.355) mean length-of-stays in days. The clinical safety outcomes were similar in both groups. Kaplan-Meier unadjusted cumulative in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates were higher in the GA group but similar in both groups at 1-year. CONCLUSIONS TF TAVR under MAC is feasible and safe, results in shorter hospital stays, can be performed in the majority of cases, and should be utilized as the default strategy. Trans-esophageal echocardiography utilization during TAVR with MAC is safe and feasible. The most common cause for conversion of MAC to GA is cardiac instability and hypotension. The complete heart team should be available at all times in case the need arises for a rapid conversion to GA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The hypothesis of this study was that local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is not harmful in comparison to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVR).TAVR is a rapidly spreading treatment option for severe aortic valve stenosis. Traditionally, in most centers, this procedure is done under GA, but more recently procedures with MAC have been reported. METHODS This is a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing MAC versus GA in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR. Trials were identified through a literature search covering publications from 1 January 2005 through 31 January 2013. The main outcomes of interest of this literature meta-analysis were 30-day overall mortality, cardiac-/procedure-related mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, sepsis, acute kidney injury, procedure time and duration of hospital stay. A random effects model was used to calculate the pooled relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Seven observational studies and a total of 1,542 patients were included in this analysis. None of the studies were randomized. Compared to GA, MAC was associated with a shorter hospital stay (-3.0 days (-5.0 to -1.0); P = 0.004) and a shorter procedure time (MD -36.3 minutes (-58.0 to -15.0 minutes); P <0.001). Overall 30-day mortality was not significantly different between MAC and GA (RR 0.77 (0.38 to 1.56); P = 0.460), also cardiac- and procedure-related mortality was similar between both groups (RR 0.90 (0.34 to 2.39); P = 0.830). CONCLUSION These data did not show a significant difference in short-term outcomes for MAC or GA in TAVR. MAC may be associated with reduced procedural time and shorter hospital stay. Now randomized trials are needed for further evaluation of MAC in the setting of TAVR.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The review is focused on the challenge of managing airway and ventilation in the intraoperative and postoperative period. RECENT FINDINGS In past years, a lot of attention was focused on tracheal intubation in difficult airway, whereas only in recent years extubation time of difficult airway is also covering an important role. Protective ventilation strategies have been studied in acute respiratory distress syndrome and then in general anesthesia, either for thoracic or bariatric surgery, whereas in general abdominal surgery, in healthy lung, few studies are present demonstrating the effective protective role of low tidal volume, lung recruitment maneuvers (LRM) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). In the early postoperative period, the role of noninvasive ventilation is growing as it reduces postoperative pulmonary complications, postoperative length of stay and costs. SUMMARY The combination of planning extubation of predicted and unpredicted difficult airway, both intraoperative low tidal volume and low FiO2 with LRM and PEEP at different points of surgery and postoperative noninvasive ventilation should be considered in patients undergoing surgery to decrease the rate of postoperative pulmonary complications and major fatal complications such as brain damage and death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In daily clinical practice, pulmonary complications related to surgical procedure are common, increasing the morbidity and mortality of patients. Assessment of the risk of pulmonary complications is an important step in the preoperative evaluation. Thus, we review the most relevant aspects of preoperative assessment of the patient with lung disease. CONTENT Pulmonary risk stratification depends on clinical symptoms and patient's physical status. Age, preexisting respiratory diseases, nutritional status, and continued medical treatment are usually more important than additional tests. Pulmonary function tests are of great relevance when high abdominal or thoracic procedures are scheduled, particularly when lung resection are considered. CONCLUSION Understanding the perioperative evaluation of the potential risk for developing pulmonary complication allows the medical team to choose the adequate anesthetic technique and surgical and clinical care required by each patient, thereby reducing adverse respiratory outcomes.

Abstract
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery causes regional ventilation-perfusion mismatch, contributing to regional disturbances in antibiotic penetration into lung tissue. Ventilation-perfusion mismatch is associated with postoperative pneumonia, a frequent and devastating complication after cardiac surgery. In this prospective clinical animal study, we performed in vivo microdialysis to determine the effect of CPB on regional penetration of levofloxacin (LVX) into lung tissue. Six pigs underwent surgery with CPB (CPB group), and another six pigs underwent surgery without CPB (off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting; OPCAB group). LVX (750 mg) was administered intravenously to all pigs immediately after surgery. For regional measurements of LVX in pulmonary concentrations, microdialysis probes were inserted in both lungs of each pig. Pigs were placed in the right lateral position. Time versus concentration profiles of unbound LVX were measured in the upper and lower lung tissue and plasma in all pigs. In all pigs, maximum concentrations (Cmax) of LVX were significantly lower in the upper lung than in the lower lung (OPCAB, P = 0.035; CPB, P < 0.001). Median Cmax of LVX showed a significant difference in the upper versus lower lung in the CPB group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the median Cmax of LVX in the upper and the lower lung in the OPCAB group (P = 0.32). Our data indicate that CPB affects perioperative regional antibiotic penetration into lung tissue. Common clinical antibiotic dosing schemes should be reevaluated in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with CPB.
