Corral-Blanco M, Sayas-Catalán J, Hernández-Voth A, Rey-Terrón L, Villena-Garrido V. High-Flow Nasal Cannula Therapy as an Adjuvant Therapy for Respiratory Support during Endoscopic Techniques: A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2023; 13:81. [PMID: 38202089 PMCID: PMC10779492 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010081] [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: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a respiratory support technique that delivers a controlled concentration of oxygen with high flow, heat, and humidity via the nasal pathway. As it has many physiological effects, its use has increased for a variety of clinical indications; however, there is limited guidance on using HFNC as a respiratory support tool during endoscopic procedures. We conducted a narrative review to evaluate the effect of HFNC as an adjuvant tool during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy, and surgical procedures in adults. A search of the PubMed and Cochrane databases were performed. Approximately 384 publications were retrieved, and 99 were selected (93 original works and 6 case reports with a literature review). In patients who underwent FOB, HFNC appears to be superior to conventional oxygen therapy (COT) in preventing hypoxaemia. In contrast, for gastrointestinal endoscopy, the current evidence is insufficient to recommend HFNC over COT in a cost-effective manner. Finally, in surgical procedures such as laryngeal microsurgery or thoracic surgery, HFNC has been shown to be a safe and effective alternative to orotracheal intubation. As the results are heterogeneous, we advocate for the need for more quality studies to understand the effectiveness of HFNC during endoscopic procedures.

Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilator exchange compared with laryngeal mask airway for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy: a randomized controlled trial. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1252586. [PMID: 38116036 PMCID: PMC10728469 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1252586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilator exchange (THRIVE) has the characteristics of operating easily and maintaining oxygenation and eliminating CO2, which makes it possible to be used in endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS). The application of THRIVE in ETS remains undefined. The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to assess the efficacy between THRIVE and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for ETS. Methods In total, 34 patients from May 2022 to May 2023 in Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital undergoing ETS were randomly divided into a THRIVE group (n = 17) and an LMA group (n = 17). A serial arterial blood gas analysis was conducted during the perioperative period. The primary outcome was the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) during the perioperative period. The secondary outcome was arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) during the perioperative period. Results The mean (SD) highest PaCO2 in the THRIVE group and LMA group were 99.0 (9.0) mmHg and 51.7 (5.2) mmHg, respectively (p < 0.001). The median (inter-quartile range) time to PaCO2 ≥ 60 mmHg in the THRIVE group was 26.0 min (23.2-28.8). The mean (SD) PaO2 was 268.8 (89.0) mmHg in the THRIVE group and 209.8 (55.8) mmHg in the LMA group during surgery (p = 0.027). Conclusion CO2 accumulation in the THRIVE group was higher than that of the LMA group during ETS, but THRIVE exhibited greater oxygenation capability compared to LMA. We preliminarily testified that THRIVE would be a feasible non-intubated ventilation technique during ETS under monitoring PaCO2.

Effect of single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy on surgical site wound infection and healing in patients with lung cancer: A meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2023; 20:3483-3490. [PMID: 37193587 PMCID: PMC10588324 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14220] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023] Open
Abstract
We performed a meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the effect of single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy on surgical site wound infection and healing in patients with lung cancer. A computerised search for studies on single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy treatment of lung cancer was conducted from the time of database creation through February 2023 using the PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases. Two investigators independently screened the literature, extracted information, and evaluated the quality of studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Either a fixed or random-effects model was used in calculating the relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. The results showed that, compared with multi-port video-assisted thoracoscopy, single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy significantly reduced surgical site wound infection (RR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.19-0.77, P = .007) and significantly promoted wound healing (RR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.22-0.64, P < .001). Compared with multi-port video-assisted thoracoscopy, single-port video-assisted thoracoscopy significantly reduced surgical site wound infections and also promoted wound healing. However, because of large variations in study sample sizes, some of the literature reported methods of inferior quality. Additional high-quality studies containing large sample sizes are needed to further validate these results.

Uniportal versus multiportal nonintubated thoracoscopic anatomical resection for lung cancer: A propensity-matched analysis. J Formos Med Assoc 2023; 122:947-954. [PMID: 37169655 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2023.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE No studies have compared between uniportal and multiportal nonintubated thoracoscopic anatomical resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to compare short- and long-term postoperative outcomes concerning these two methods. METHODS Our retrospective dataset comprised patients with NSCLC who underwent uniportal or multiportal nonintubated thoracoscopic anatomical resection between January 2011 and December 2019. The primary outcome was recurrence-free survival. Propensity scores were matched according to age, sex, body mass index, pulmonary function, tumor size, cancer stage, and surgical method. RESULTS In total, 1130 such patients underwent nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), and 490 consecutive patients with stage I-III NSCLC underwent nonintubated anatomical resection, including lobectomy and segmentectomy (uniportal, n = 158 [32.3%]; multiportal, n = 331 [67.7%]). The uniportal group had fewer dissected lymph nodes and lymph node stations. In paired group analysis, the uniportal group had shorter operation durations (99.8 vs. 138.2 min; P < 0.001), lower intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates and ICU admission intervals (7.0% vs. 27.8%; P < 0.001), and shorter postoperative hospital stays (4.1 days vs. 5.2 days; P < 0.001). The most common postoperative complication was prolonged air leaks. No surgical mortality was observed. The multiportal group had higher complication rates for grades ≥ II NSCLC; however, this difference was not significant (4.4% vs. 1.3%, respectively; P = 0.09). CONCLUSION Nonintubated uniportal VATS for anatomical resection had better results for some perioperative outcomes than multiportal VATS. Oncological outcomes such as recurrence-free and overall survival remained uncompromised, despite fewer dissected lymph nodes.

Comparisons on the intraoperative desaturation and postoperative outcomes in non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery with supraglottic airway devices or high-flow nasal oxygen: A retrospective study. J Formos Med Assoc 2023; 122:309-316. [PMID: 36463081 DOI: 10.1016/j.jfma.2022.11.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Revised: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have compared intraoperative oxygenation and perioperative outcomes between non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) with supraglottic airway devices (SADs) and NIVATS with high flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO). The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the intraoperative desaturation rate and postoperative outcomes between NIVATS with SADs and NIVATS with HFNO. METHODS Data regarding NIVATS performed for lung cancer from January 2020 to December 2021 were collected. Intraoperative anesthetic results, post-anesthetic adverse effects, and surgical outcomes for patients who received SAD or HFNO were analyzed using propensity score-matched and unmatched analysis. RESULTS In total, 199 patients with i-gel™ and 95 patients with HFNO were included. Significantly more female patients (91.6 vs. 82.4%, p = 0.0378) and fewer wedge resections (78.9 vs. 85.4%, p = 0.0258) were observed in the HFNO group. Among 250 patients who underwent NIVATS wedge resections under total intravenous anesthesia, those who received HFNO had a significantly higher desaturation event rate (19.8% vs. 7.9% in i-gel™ group; p = 0.0063), lower nadir SPO2 (94.0% vs. 96.1% in i-gel™ group; p = 0.0012), and longer hospitalization (4.0 ± 0.8 vs. 3.6 ± 0.6 in i-gel™ group; p < 0.0001). However, propensity score matching analysis revealed no significant between-group difference in the desaturation rate. A log-rank test revealed that smoking (p = 0.0005) and HFNO (p = 0.0074) were associated with intraoperative desaturation. CONCLUSION The rate of SAD use in NIVATS was twice the rate of HFNO use, especially for wedge resections. There is uncertain airway patency and limited flow through HFNO during one-lung ventilation, whereas SADs like i-gel™ presented a significantly less intraoperative desaturation rate over time and similar postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
It remains controversial whether one-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or multiportal VATS is better for segmentectomy in patients with early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted this meta-analysis of eight published studies to compare the clinical effectiveness and safety of the two surgical approaches. The uniportal group had a shorter postoperative hospital stay (mean difference (MD): - 0.40, 95% CI [- 0.71 to - 0.08] days, p = 0.01), lower postoperative pain scores on day 3 (MD: - 0.90, 95% CI [- 1.26 to - 0.54], p < 0.00001) and day 7 (MD: - 0.33, 95% CI [- 0.62 to - 0.04], p = 0.02), fewer days of chest tube drainage (MD: - 0.47, 95% CI [- 0.78 to - 0.15] days, p = 0.004), and a smaller wound (MD: - 0.73, 95% CI [- 1.00 to - 0.46] cm, p < 0.00001) than the multiportal group. However, there were no significant differences between the groups in complications, operative times, resected lymph nodes, resected lymph node stations, blood loss, postoperative pain scores on days 1, 2, 30, overall survival (OS), or disease-free survival (DFS). The most common complications were prolonged air leakage (10.29%), bleeding (8.82%), vascular injury (7.14%), empyema (5.88%), and arrhythmia (5.26%) in the uniportal group. Overall, uniportal VATS appears to be better than multiportal VATS for segmentectomy in patients with NSCLC, with better postoperative outcomes and similar survival rates.

Non-Intubated Versus Intubated Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older: A Propensity Matching Study. Front Surg 2022; 9:880007. [PMID: 35586501 PMCID: PMC9108723 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.880007] [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: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction In most developed countries, lung cancer is associated with the highest mortality rate among all cancers. The number of elderly patients with lung cancer is increasing, reflecting the global increase in aging population. Patients with impaired lung or cardiac function are at a high risk during intubated general anesthesia, which may preclude them from surgical lung cancer treatment. We evaluated the safety and survival of non-intubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) versus those of intubated thoracoscopic surgery for surgical resection for lung cancer in older patients. Methods Patients aged ≥75 years who underwent non-intubated and intubated VATS resection with pathologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer, using a combination of thoracic epidural anesthesia or intercostal nerve block and intra-thoracic vagal block with target-controlled sedation, from January 2011 to December 2019 were included. Ultimately, 79 non-intubated patients were matched to 158 patients based on age, sex, body mass index, family history, comorbidity index, pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in one second/ forced vital capacity [%]), and disease stage. The endpoints were overall survival and recurrence progression survival. Results All patients had malignant lung lesions. Data regarding conversion data and the postoperative result were collected. Both groups had comparable preoperative demographic and cancer staging profiles. The anesthetic duration in the non-intubated group was shorter than that in the intubated group, which showed a significantly higher mean number of lymph nodes harvested (intubated vs non-intubated, 8.3 vs. 6.4) and lymph stations dissected (3.0 vs. 2.6). Intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate and postoperative ICU stay were significantly longer in the intubated group. The complication rate was higher and hospital stay were longer in the intubated group, but these differences were not significant (12% vs. 7.6%; p = .07, respectively). Conclusions In the elderly, non-intubated thoracoscopic surgery provides similar survival results as the intubated approach, although fewer lymph nodes are harvested. Non-intubated surgery may serve as an alternative to intubated general anesthesia in managing lung cancer in carefully selected elderly patients with a high risk of impaired pulmonary and cardiac function.

Abstract
Non-intubated thoracic surgery (NITS) is a growing practice, alongside minimally invasive thoracic surgery. To date, only a consensus of experts provided opinions on NITS leaving a number of questions unresolved. We then conducted a scoping review to clarify the state of the art regarding NITS. The systematic review of all randomized and non-randomized clinical trials dealing with NITS, based on Pubmed, EMBASE, and Scopus, retrieved 665 articles. After the exclusion of ineligible studies, 53 were assessed examining: study type, Country of origin, surgical procedure, age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist's physical status, airway management device, conversion to orotracheal intubation and pulmonary complications rates and length of hospital stay. It emerged that NITS is a procedure performed predominantly in Asia, and certain European Countries. In China, NITS is more frequently performed for parenchymal resection surgery, whereas in Europe, it is mainly employed for pleural pathologies. The most commonly used device for airway management is the laryngeal mask. The conversion rate to orotracheal intubation is a~3%. The results of the scoping review seem to suggest that NITS procedures are becoming increasingly popular, but its role needs to be better defined. Further randomized clinical trials are needed to better define the role of the clinical variables possibly impacting on the technique effectiveness.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://osf.io/mfvp3/, identifier: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MFVP3.

Abstract
Background General anesthesia and tracheal intubation potentially pose a high risk to health care workers (HCWs) managing surgical patients during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Non-intubated anesthesia is a rational way of managing patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery that avoids tracheal intubation and minimizes the aerosols generated during airway instrumentation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether non-intubated anesthesia in combination with a face mask is safe and feasible in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Methods A total of 18 patients who underwent non-intubated thoracoscopic surgery with a face mask during the perioperative period between March 9, 2020 and April 6, 2020 were included. The main outcomes were anesthetic management and postoperative results. Results The 18 patients had a mean age of 64 years and a body mass index of 22.9 kg/m2. All patients wore a mask during induction of anesthesia and throughout surgery. Three patients underwent lobectomy, four segmentectomy, ten wedge resection, and one underwent anterior mediastinal tumor resection. No patient developed cough or vomiting during the perioperative period. All patients were transferred to the postoperative recovery unit within 15 min of the end of surgery (average 7.2 min). No patient required conversion to tracheal intubation or conversion to thoracotomy. Conclusion Non-intubated anesthesia with a mask was safe and feasible in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery. Avoidance of intubated general anesthesia and use of a lung separation device may reduce the risk to HCWs of contamination by airway secretions, thereby conserving personal protective equipment, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy has been described as a feasible surgical treatment for early-stage lung cancer since 2011. Despite promising perioperative results, studies on tumor recurrence and long-term survival are very limited. This study was aimed to compare outcomes after thoracoscopic lobectomy with versus without intubation for stage I non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS A retrospective data set including 115 and 155 patients who underwent nonintubated and intubated thoracoscopic lobectomy, respectively, between January 2011 and December 2013 was used to identify matched nonintubated and intubated cohorts (n = 97 per group) using a propensity score matching algorithm that accounted for confounding effects of preoperative patient variables. Primary outcome variables included freedom from recurrence and overall survival. Factors affecting survival were assessed using Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival estimates. RESULTS No perioperative mortality occurred in both groups. At an average follow-up of 74 months, comparing nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy with intubated procedure, no differences were observed in recurrence rates (14.4% vs. 25.8%, respectively; p = .057). Furthermore, no significant differences were noted in overall survival (97.9% vs. 93.8%, respectively; p = .144). Nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy was not found to be an independent predictor of recurrence (hazard ratio, .53; 95% confidence interval [CI], .28-1.02) or overall survival (hazard ratio, .33; 95% CI, .07-1.61). CONCLUSIONS In this propensity-matched comparison, nonintubated thoracoscopic lobectomy was not associated with an increased risk for recurrence and overall survival during the 5-year follow-up. However, more randomized trials should be conducted for further validation of these results.

Abstract
Background Non-intubated uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (niVATS) is a novel approach to major and minor lung resection. It benefits from a holistic anesthesiological concept with adequate pain relief and sedation in a minimal-invasive setup allowing thoracic procedures under spontaneous breathing. At present no anesthesiological gold standard for niVATS exists. The primary aim of our retrospective observational study was to evaluate feasibility and safety of minimally invasive niVATS for both minor and major pulmonary resections at our institution. Methods All 88 consecutive patients scheduled for niVATS minor or major thoracic procedures were included into the study. Anaesthesia was performed according to a departmental niVATS algorithm including both regional anaesthesia and sedation. Patient characteristics and early outcome data including intraoperative and postoperative findings were compared between groups. Prediction scores for postoperative complications (LAS VEGAS, ARISCAT, ThRCRI) were calculated and compared. Results No early mortality and a low overall morbidity rate of 28.4% were encountered. Conversion to orotracheal intubation was required in 6.8% of all cases. Postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in 15.9% of total cases and were lower than predicted by both LAS VEGAS and ARISCAT respectively. Cardiac complications were found in 1.1% and lower than predicted by ThRCRI. A persistent air leak occurred in 11.4% of total cases and was significantly higher in major resection. Postoperative chest tube duration and hospital length of stay in the major resection group exceeded times reported by other groups. Conclusions niVATS appears to be safe in both minor and major thoracic procedures. A minimally invasive anaesthesiological approach foregoing central iv lines, arterial blood pressure measurement and urinary catheterization is feasible. Our niVATS protocol appears to be a viable alternative for both minor and major thoracic procedures in selected patients.

Nonintubated Versus Intubated Uniportal Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy for Lung Tumors. Ann Thorac Surg 2020; 111:1182-1189. [PMID: 32857994 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.06.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the use of the uniportal thoracoscopic technique has spread exponentially recently, a comparison of nonintubated and intubated uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomies for lung tumors has not been reported. We aimed to compare the feasibility, safety, and short-term postoperative outcomes between the 2 methods. METHODS From January 2014 to June 2019 we retrospectively reviewed 185 consecutive patients with lung tumors who underwent uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy at our institute. A body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 was considered a contraindication for the nonintubated anesthetic approach. For the remaining cases the anesthetic approach was made at the discretion of each individual anesthesiologist. A propensity-matched analysis incorporating sex and body mass index was used to compare the clinical outcomes of the nonintubated and intubated groups. RESULTS Fifty patients (27.0%) underwent the procedure with the nonintubated anesthetic approach. The nonintubated group was more likely to be female (P < .001) and with a lower body mass index (P < .001). Other clinical features showed no significant difference. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the type of segmentectomy according to the difficulty classification system. After propensity matching 43 matched patients in each group were included. Anesthetic induction duration (12.0 vs 15.3 minutes, P = .014) was shorter in the nonintubated group. No other significant differences in perioperative, postoperative, and anesthetic results were noted between the 2 matched groups. CONCLUSIONS The nonintubated anesthetic approach can be a safe and feasible alternative to intubated uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy.
