Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are associated with postoperative mortality and prolonged hospital stay. Although intraoperative mechanical ventilation (MV) is a risk factor for PPCs, strategies addressing weaning from MV are understudied. In this systematic review, we evaluated weaning strategies and their effects on postoperative pulmonary outcomes. METHODS Our protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022379145). Eligible studies included randomised controlled trials and observational studies of adults weaned from MV in the operating room. Primary outcomes included atelectasis and oxygenation; secondary outcomes included lung volume changes and PPCs. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB2) tool, and quality of evidence with the GRADE framework. RESULTS Screening identified 14 randomised controlled trials including 1719 patients; seven studies were limited to the weaning phase and seven included interventions not restricted to the weaning phase. Strategies combining pressure support ventilation (PSV) with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and low fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) improved atelectasis, oxygenation, and lung volumes. Low FiO2 improved atelectasis and oxygenation but might not improve lung volumes. A fixed-PEEP strategy led to no improvement in oxygenation or atelectasis; however, individualised PEEP with low FiO2 improved oxygenation and might be associated with reduced PPCs. Half of included studies are of moderate or high risk of bias; the overall quality of evidence is low. CONCLUSIONS There is limited research evaluating weaning from intraoperative MV. Based on low-quality evidence, PSV, individualised PEEP, and low FiO2 may be associated with reduced postoperative pulmonary outcomes. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL PROSPERO (CRD42022379145).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of closed-loop control systems to titrate oxygen flow in critically ill patients, including their effectiveness, efficacy, workload and safety, remains unclear. This systematic review investigated the utilization of closed-loop oxygen systems for critically ill patients in comparison to manual oxygen titration systems focusing on these topics. METHODS AND FINDINGS A search was conducted across several databases including MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, LOVE, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the World Health Organization on March 3, 2022, with subsequent updates made on June 27, 2023. Evidence databases were searched for randomized clinical parallel or crossover studies investigating closed-loop oxygen control systems for critically ill patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines. The analysis was conducted using Review Manager software, adopting the mean difference or standardized mean difference with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for continuous variables or risk ratio with 95% CI for dichotomous outcomes. The main outcome of interest was the percentage of time spent in the peripheral arterial oxygen saturation target. Secondary outcomes included time for supplemental oxygen weaning, length of stay, mortality, costs, adverse events, and workload of healthcare professional. A total of 37 records from 21 studies were included in this review with a total of 1,577 participants. Compared with manual oxygen titration, closed-loop oxygen control systems increased the percentage of time in the prescribed SpO2 target, mean difference (MD) 25.47; 95% CI 19.7, 30.0], with moderate certainty of evidence. Current evidence also shows that closed-loop oxygen control systems have the potential to reduce the percentage of time with hypoxemia (MD -0.98; 95% CI -1.68, -0.27) and healthcare workload (MD -4.94; 95% CI -7.28, -2.61) with low certainty of evidence. CONCLUSION Closed-loop oxygen control systems increase the percentage of time in the preferred SpO2 targets and may reduce healthcare workload. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO: CRD42022306033.

Effects of Different Extubation Strategies on Atelectasis in Older Adults after Major Abdominal Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial. Ann Geriatr Med Res 2024; 28:201-208. [PMID: 38509825 PMCID: PMC11217653 DOI: 10.4235/agmr.23.0180] [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: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Older patients are particularly vulnerable to age-related respiratory changes. This prospective randomized controlled trial studied the effects of high and low fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) with the recruitment maneuver (RM) during extubation on lung atelectasis postoperatively in older patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHODS We randomized a total of 126 patients aged >60 years who underwent both elective and emergency major abdominal surgeries and met the inclusion criteria into three groups (H, HR, and LR) using computer-generated block randomization. Group H received high FiO2 (1), Group HR received high FiO2 (1) with RM followed by a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O, and Group LR received low FiO2 (0.4) with RM followed by a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H2O 10 minutes before extubation. Oxygenation and atelectasis were measured using the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2)/FiO2 ratios and lung ultrasound score. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded up to 24 hours postoperatively. RESULTS The mean PaO2/FiO2 at 30 minutes post-extubation was significantly higher in Groups LR and HR compared to that in Group H (390.71±29.55, 381.97±24.97, and 355.37±31.70; p<0.001). In the immediate postoperative period, the median lung ultrasound score was higher in Group H than that in Groups LR and HR (6 [5-7], 3 [3-5], and 3.5 [2.25-4.75]; p<0.001). The incidence of oxygen desaturation and oxygen requirements was higher in Group H during the postoperative period. CONCLUSION The RM before extubation is beneficial in reducing atelectasis and postoperative pulmonary complications, irrespective of the FiO2 concentration used in older adults undergoing major abdominal surgeries.

Abstract
A systematic review of clinical trials confirms that including nitrous oxide in the gas mixture for general anaesthesia has minor short-term benefits and does not impact most patient safety outcomes. However, no risk-benefit analysis of nitrous oxide should ignore its known environmental effects. If continued nitrous oxide use is supported, strategies to minimise and monitor the contribution of medical nitrous oxide to global warming are vital.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a common cause of morbidity. Postoperative atelectasis is thought to be a significant risk factor in their development. Recent imaging studies suggest that patients' extubation may result in similar postoperative atelectasis regardless of the intraoperative mechanical ventilation strategy used. In this pilot trial, we hypothesized that a study investigating the effects of an open lung extubation strategy compared with a conventional one on PPCs would be feasible. METHODS We conducted a pilot, single-centre, double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Adult patients at moderate to high risk of PPCs and scheduled for elective surgery were eligible. Patients were randomized to an open lung extubation strategy (semirecumbent position, fraction of inspired oxygen [FIO2] 50%, pressure support ventilation, unchanged positive end-expiratory pressure) or to a conventional extubation strategy (dorsal decubitus position, FIO2 100%, manual bag ventilation). The primary feasibility outcome was global protocol adherence while the primary exploratory efficacy outcome was PPCs. RESULTS We randomized 35 patients to the conventional extubation group and 34 to the open lung extubation group. We observed a global protocol adherence of 96% (95% confidence interval, 88 to 99), which was not different between groups. Eight PPCs occurred (two in the conventional extubation group vs six in the open lung extubation group). Less postoperative supplemental oxygen and better lung aeration were observed in the open lung extubation group. CONCLUSIONS In this single-centre pilot trial, we observed excellent feasibility. A multicentre pilot trial comparing the effect of an open lung extubation strategy with that of a conventional extubation strategy on the occurrence of PPCs is feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This is an updated review concerning 'Higher versus lower fractions of inspired oxygen or targets of arterial oxygenation for adults admitted to the intensive care unit'. Supplementary oxygen is provided to most patients in intensive care units (ICUs) to prevent global and organ hypoxia (inadequate oxygen levels). Oxygen has been administered liberally, resulting in high proportions of patients with hyperoxemia (exposure of tissues to abnormally high concentrations of oxygen). This has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity in some settings, but not in others. Thus far, only limited data have been available to inform clinical practice guidelines, and the optimum oxygenation target for ICU patients is uncertain. Because of the publication of new trial evidence, we have updated this review. OBJECTIVES To update the assessment of benefits and harms of higher versus lower fractions of inspired oxygen (FiO2) or targets of arterial oxygenation for adults admitted to the ICU. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, Science Citation Index Expanded, BIOSIS Previews, and LILACS. We searched for ongoing or unpublished trials in clinical trial registers and scanned the reference lists and citations of included trials. Literature searches for this updated review were conducted in November 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared higher versus lower FiO2 or targets of arterial oxygenation (partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), peripheral or arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2 or SaO2)) for adults admitted to the ICU. We included trials irrespective of publication type, publication status, and language. We excluded trials randomising participants to hypoxaemia (FiO2 below 0.21, SaO2/SpO2 below 80%, or PaO2 below 6 kPa) or to hyperbaric oxygen, and cross-over trials and quasi-randomised trials. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Four review authors independently, and in pairs, screened the references identified in the literature searches and extracted the data. Our primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, the proportion of participants with one or more serious adverse events (SAEs), and quality of life. We analysed all outcomes at maximum follow-up. Only three trials reported the proportion of participants with one or more SAEs as a composite outcome. However, most trials reported on events categorised as SAEs according to the International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) criteria. We, therefore, conducted two analyses of the effect of higher versus lower oxygenation strategies using 1) the single SAE with the highest reported proportion in each trial, and 2) the cumulated proportion of participants with an SAE in each trial. Two trials reported on quality of life. Secondary outcomes were lung injury, myocardial infarction, stroke, and sepsis. No trial reported on lung injury as a composite outcome, but four trials reported on the occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and five on pneumonia. We, therefore, conducted two analyses of the effect of higher versus lower oxygenation strategies using 1) the single lung injury event with the highest reported proportion in each trial, and 2) the cumulated proportion of participants with ARDS or pneumonia in each trial. We assessed the risk of systematic errors by evaluating the risk of bias in the included trials using the Risk of Bias 2 tool. We used the GRADEpro tool to assess the overall certainty of the evidence. We also evaluated the risk of publication bias for outcomes reported by 10b or more trials. MAIN RESULTS We included 19 RCTs (10,385 participants), of which 17 reported relevant outcomes for this review (10,248 participants). For all-cause mortality, 10 trials were judged to be at overall low risk of bias, and six at overall high risk of bias. For the reported SAEs, 10 trials were judged to be at overall low risk of bias, and seven at overall high risk of bias. Two trials reported on quality of life, of which one was judged to be at overall low risk of bias and one at high risk of bias for this outcome. Meta-analysis of all trials, regardless of risk of bias, indicated no significant difference from higher or lower oxygenation strategies at maximum follow-up with regard to mortality (risk ratio (RR) 1.01, 95% confidence interval (C)I 0.96 to 1.06; I2 = 14%; 16 trials; 9408 participants; very low-certainty evidence); occurrence of SAEs: the highest proportion of any specific SAE in each trial RR 1.01 (95% CI 0.96 to 1.06; I2 = 36%; 9466 participants; 17 trials; very low-certainty evidence), or quality of life (mean difference (MD) 0.5 points in participants assigned to higher oxygenation strategies (95% CI -2.75 to 1.75; I2 = 34%, 1649 participants; 2 trials; very low-certainty evidence)). Meta-analysis of the cumulated number of SAEs suggested benefit of a lower oxygenation strategy (RR 1.04 (95% CI 1.02 to 1.07; I2 = 74%; 9489 participants; 17 trials; very low certainty evidence)). However, trial sequential analyses, with correction for sparse data and repetitive testing, could reject a relative risk increase or reduction of 10% for mortality and the highest proportion of SAEs, and 20% for both the cumulated number of SAEs and quality of life. Given the very low-certainty of evidence, it is necessary to interpret these findings with caution. Meta-analysis of all trials indicated no statistically significant evidence of a difference between higher or lower oxygenation strategies on the occurrence of lung injuries at maximum follow-up (the highest reported proportion of lung injury RR 1.08, 95% CI 0.85 to 1.38; I2 = 0%; 2048 participants; 8 trials; very low-certainty evidence). Meta-analysis of all trials indicated harm from higher oxygenation strategies as compared with lower on the occurrence of sepsis at maximum follow-up (RR 1.85, 95% CI 1.17 to 2.93; I2 = 0%; 752 participants; 3 trials; very low-certainty evidence). Meta-analysis indicated no differences regarding the occurrences of myocardial infarction or stroke. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS In adult ICU patients, it is still not possible to draw clear conclusions about the effects of higher versus lower oxygenation strategies on all-cause mortality, SAEs, quality of life, lung injuries, myocardial infarction, stroke, and sepsis at maximum follow-up. This is due to low or very low-certainty evidence.

Effects of 30% vs. 60% inspired oxygen fraction during mechanical ventilation on postoperative atelectasis: a randomised controlled trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:265. [PMID: 37550648 PMCID: PMC10408131 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02226-6] [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: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is the ongoing debate over the effect of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) during mechanical ventilation on postoperative atelectasis. We aimed to compare the effects of low (30%) and moderate (60%) FiO2 on postoperative atelectasis. The hypothesis of the study was that 30% FiO2 during mechanical ventilation could reduce postoperative atelectasis volume compared with 60% FiO2. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled trial with 120 patients. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive 30% or 60% FiO2 during mechanical ventilation in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome was the percentage of postoperative atelectasis volume in the total lung measured using chest CT within 30 min after extubation. The secondary outcomes included different aeration region volumes, incidence of clinically significant atelectasis, and oxygenation index. RESULTS In total, 113 subjects completed the trial, including 55 and 58 subjects in the 30% and 60% FiO2 groups, respectively. The percentage of the postoperative atelectasis volume in the 30% FiO2 group did not differ from that in the 60% FiO2 group. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the atelectasis volume between the two groups after the missing data were imputed by multiple imputation. Additionally, there were no significant differences in the volumes of the over-aeration, normal-aeration, and poor-aeration regions between the groups. No significant differences in the incidence of clinically significant atelectasis or oxygenation index at the end of surgery were observed between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Compared with 60% FiO2, the use of 30% FiO2 during mechanical ventilation does not reduce the postoperative atelectasis volume.

Catalanotto FR, Ippolito M, Mirasola A, Catalisano G, Milazzo M, Giarratano A, Cortegiani A. Hyperoxia in critically ill patients with sepsis and septic shock: a systematic review. JOURNAL OF ANESTHESIA, ANALGESIA AND CRITICAL CARE (ONLINE) 2023; 3:12. [PMID: 37386595 DOI: 10.1186/s44158-023-00096-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In septic patients, hyperoxia may help with its bactericidal effects, but it may cause systemic impairments. The role of hyperoxia and the appropriate oxygen target in these patients is unknown. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the available literature. METHODS We conducted a systematic search screening PubMed and Cochrane Library. Studies on adult patients with sepsis or septic shock and admitted to ICU addressing the topic of hyperoxia were included and described. RESULTS We included 12 studies, for a total of 15.782 included patients. Five studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or analyses from RCTs, three were prospective observational studies, and four were retrospective observational studies. The definition of hyperoxia was heterogeneous across the included studies. Mortality was the most frequent outcome: six studies showed an increased rate or risk of mortality with hyperoxia, three found no differences, and one a protective effect of hyperoxia. At the critical appraisal assessment stage, no major methodological flaws were detected, except for a single-center, pilot study, with a lack of adjustment for confounders and imbalance between the groups. CONCLUSION The optimum range of oxygen level able to minimize risks and provide benefits in patients with sepsis or septic shock seems still unknown. Clinical equipoise between hyperoxia and normoxia is uncertain as conflicting evidence exists. Further studies should aim at identifying the best range of oxygenation and its optimal duration, investigating how effects of different levels of oxygen may vary according to identified pathogens, source of infection, and prescribed antibiotics in critically ill patients with sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal perioperative oxygen concentration is controversial and study results are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE Current knowledge on the beneficial and adverse effects of perioperative hyperoxia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Narrative review RESULTS: Perioperative hyperoxia is unlikely to increase the incidence of atelectasis, pulmonary or cardiovascular complications or mortality. Few and small potential beneficial effects, such as reduction of surgical wound infections or postoperative nausea and vomiting have been demonstrated. According to the current state of evidence, it is recommended to avoid perioperative hyperoxia and to aim for normoxia instead.

Abstract
Postoperative respiratory failure has a multifactorial etiology, of which atelectasis is the most common mechanism. Its injurious effects are magnified by surgical inflammation, high driving pressures, and postoperative pain. Chest physiotherapy and noninvasive ventilation are good options to prevent progression of respiratory failure. Acute respiratory disease syndrome is a late and severe finding, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality. If present, proning is a safe, effective, and underutilized therapy. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an option only when traditional supportive measures have failed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to a recent meta-analysis, in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, a high fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) did not increase postoperative atelectasis. However, a high FiO2 generally increases the risk of postoperative atelectasis. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of FiO2 on the development of atelectasis in obese patients using the modified lung ultrasound score (LUSS). METHODS Patients were assigned to 4 groups: BMI ≥ 30: group A (n = 21) and group B (n = 20) and normal BMI: group C (n = 22) and group D (n = 21). Groups A and C were administered 100% O2 during preinduction and emergence and 50% O2 during anesthesia. Groups B and D received 40% O2 for anesthesia. The modified LUSS was assessed before and 20 min after arrival to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). RESULTS The difference between the modified LUSS preinduction and PACU was significantly higher in group A with a BMI ≥ 30 (P = .006); however, there was an insignificant difference between groups C and D in the normal BMI group (P = .076). CONCLUSION High FiO2 had a greater effect on the development of atelectasis in obese patients than did low FiO2; however, in normal-weight individuals, FiO2 did not have a significant effect on postoperative atelectasis.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite previous reports suggesting that pressure support ventilation facilitates weaning from mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit, few studies have assessed its effects on recovery from anesthesia. The authors hypothesized that pressure support ventilation during emergence from anesthesia reduces postoperative atelectasis in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery using the Trendelenburg position. METHODS In this randomized controlled double-blinded trial, adult patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy or robot-assisted prostatectomy were assigned to either the pressure support (n = 50) or the control group (n = 50). During emergence (from the end of surgery to extubation), pressure support ventilation was used in the pressure support group versus intermittent manual assistance in the control group. The primary outcome was the incidence of atelectasis diagnosed by lung ultrasonography at the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The secondary outcomes were Pao2 at PACU and oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry less than 92% during 48 h postoperatively. RESULTS Ninety-seven patients were included in the analysis. The duration of emergence was 9 min and 8 min in the pressure support and control groups, respectively. The incidence of atelectasis at PACU was lower in the pressure support group compared to that in the control group (pressure support vs. control, 16 of 48 [33%] vs. 28 of 49 [57%]; risk ratio, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.91; P = 0.024). In the PACU, Pao2 in the pressure support group was higher than that in the control group (92 ± 26 mmHg vs. 83 ± 13 mmHg; P = 0.034). The incidence of oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry less than 92% during 48 h postoperatively was not different between the groups (9 of 48 [19%] vs. 11 of 49 [22%]; P = 0.653). There were no adverse events related to the study protocol. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of postoperative atelectasis was lower in patients undergoing either laparoscopic colectomy or robot-assisted prostatectomy who received pressure support ventilation during emergence from general anesthesia compared to those receiving intermittent manual assistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether high perioperative inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) compared with low FiO2 has more deleterious postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing non-thoracic surgery under general anesthesia. DESIGN Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. SETTING Operating room, postoperative recovery room and surgical ward. PATIENTS Surgical patients under general anesthesia. INTERVENTION High perioperative FiO2 (≥0.8) vs. low FiO2 (≤0.5). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was mortality within 30 days. Secondary outcomes were pulmonary outcomes (atelectasis, pneumonia, respiratory failure, postoperative pulmonary complications [PPCs], and postoperative oxygen parameters), intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, and length of hospital stay. A subgroup analysis was performed to explore the treatment effect by body mass index (BMI). MAIN RESULTS Twenty-six trials with a total 4991 patients were studied. The mortality in the high FiO2 group did not differ from that in the low FiO2 group (risk ratio [RR] 0.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.42-1.97, P = 0.810). Nor were there any significant differences between the groups in such outcomes as pneumonia (RR 1.19, 95% CI 0.74-1.92, P = 0.470), respiratory failure (RR 1.29, 95% CI 0.82-2.04, P = 0.270), PPCs (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.69-1.59, P = 0.830), ICU admission (RR 0.94, 95% CI 0.55-1.60, P = 0.810), and length of hospital stay (mean difference [MD] 0.27 d, 95% CI -0.28-0.81, P = 0.340). The high FiO2 was associated with postoperative atelectasis more often (risk ratio 1.27, 95% CI 1.00-1.62, P = 0.050), and lower postoperative arterial partial oxygen pressure (MD -5.03 mmHg, 95% CI -7.90- -2.16, P < 0.001). In subgroup analysis of BMI >30 kg/m2, these parameters were similarly affected between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The use of high FiO2 compared to low FiO2 did not affect the short-term mortality, although it may increase the incidence of atelectasis in adult, non-thoracic patients undergoing surgical procedures. Nor were there any significant differences in other secondary outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During general anesthesia, mechanical ventilation can cause pulmonary damage through mechanism of ventilator-induced lung injury which is a major cause of postoperative pulmonary complications, which varies between 5 and 33% and increases significantly the 30-day mortality of the surgical patient. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to analyze different variables which played key role in safe application of mechanical ventilation in the operating room and emergency setting. METHOD Also, we wanted to analyze different types of population that underwent intraoperative mechanical ventilation like obese patients, pediatric and adult population and different strategies such as one lung ventilation and ventilation in trendelemburg position. The peer-reviewed articles analyzed were selected according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) from Pubmed/Medline, Ovid/Wiley and Cochrane Library, combining key terms such as: "pulmonary post-operative complications", "protective ventilation", "alveolar recruitment maneuvers", "respiratory compliance", "intraoperative paediatric ventilation", "best peep", "types of ventilation". Among the 230 papers identified, 150 articles were selected, after title - abstract examination and removing the duplicates, resulting in 94 articles related to mechanical ventilation in operating room and emergency setting that were analyzed. RESULTS Careful preoperative patient's evaluation and protective ventilation (i.e. use of low tidal volumes, adequate PEEP and alveolar recruitment maneuvers) has been shown to be effective not only in limiting alveolar de-recruitment, alveolar overdistension and lung damage, but also in reducing the onset of pulmonary post-operative complications (PPCs). CONCLUSION Mechanical ventilation is like "Janus Bi-front" because it is essential for surgical procedures, for the care of critical care patients and in life-threatening conditions but it can be harmful to the patient if continued for a long time and where an excessive dose of oxygen is administered into the lungs. Low tidal volume is associated with minor rate of PPCs and other complications and every complication can increase length of Stay, adding cost to NHS between 1580 € and 1650 € per day in Europe and currently the prevention of PPCS is only weapon that we possess.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aimed to describe the connection between the inspired oxygen fraction and pulmonary complications in adult patients, with the objective of determining a safe upper limit of oxygen supplementation. METHODS MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched in August 2019 (updated July 2020) for studies fulfilling the following criteria: intubated adult patients (Population); high fractions of oxygen (Intervention) versus low fractions of (Comparison); atelectasis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia and/or duration of mechanical ventilation (Outcome); original studies both observational and interventional (Studies). Screening, data extraction and risk of bias assessment was done by two independent reviewers. RESULTS Out of 6120 records assessed for eligibility, 12 were included. Seven studies were conducted in the emergency setting, and five studies included patients undergoing elective surgery. Eight studies reported data on atelectasis, two on ARDS, four on pneumonia and two on duration of mechanical ventilation. There was a non-significant increased risk of atelectasis if an oxygen fraction of 0.8 or above was used, relative risk (RR): 1.37 (95% CI 0.95 to 1.96). One study showed an almost threefold higher risk of pneumonia in the high oxygen fraction group (RR: 2.83 (95% CI 2.25 to 3.56)). The two studies reporting ARDS and the two studies with data on mechanical ventilation showed no association with oxygen fraction. Four studies had a high risk of bias in one domain. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review, we found inadequate evidence to identify a safe upper dosage of oxygen, but the identified studies suggest a benefit of keeping inspiratory oxygen fraction below 0.8 with regard to formation of atelectases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) prevents peri-operative atelectasis in adults, but its effect in children has not been quantified. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of CPAP in preventing postinduction and postoperative atelectasis in children under general anaesthesia. DESIGN A randomised controlled study. SETTING Single-institution study, community hospital, Mar del Plata. Argentina. PATIENTS We studied 42 children, aged 6 months to 7 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class I, under standardised general anaesthesia. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomised into two groups: Control group (n = 21): induction and emergence of anaesthesia without CPAP; and CPAP group (n = 21): 5 cmH2O of CPAP during induction and emergence of anaesthesia. Lung ultrasound (LUS) imaging was performed before and 5 min after anaesthesia induction. Children without atelectasis were ventilated in the same manner as the Control group with standard ventilatory settings including 5 cmH2O of PEEP. Children with atelectasis received a recruitment manoeuvre followed by standard ventilation with 8 cmH2O of PEEP. Then, at the end of surgery, LUS images were repeated before tracheal extubation and 60 min after awakening. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Lung aeration score and atelectasis assessed by LUS. RESULTS Before anaesthesia, all children were free of atelectasis. After induction, 95% in the Control group developed atelectasis compared with 52% of patients in the CPAP group (P < 0.0001). LUS aeration scores were higher (impaired aeration) in the Control group than the CPAP group (8.8 ± 3.8 vs. 3.5 ± 3.3 points; P < 0.0001). At the end of surgery, before tracheal extubation, atelectasis was observed in 100% of children in the Control and 29% of the CPAP group (P < 0.0001) with a corresponding aeration score of 9.6 ± 3.2 and 1.8 ± 2.3, respectively (P < 0.0001). After surgery, 30% of children in the Control group and 10% in the CPAP group presented with residual atelectasis (P < 0.0001) also corresponding to a higher aeration score in the Control group (2.5 ± 3.1) when compared with the CPAP group (0.5 ± 1.5; P < 0.01). CONCLUSION The use of 5 cmH2O of CPAP in healthy children of the studied age span during induction and emergence of anaesthesia effectively prevents atelectasis, with benefits maintained during the first postoperative hour.

Perioperative high inspired oxygen fraction induces atelectasis in patients undergoing abdominal surgery: A randomized controlled trial. J Clin Anesth 2021; 72:110285. [PMID: 33838534 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2021.110285] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 03/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE We evaluated the feasibility of use and effects on postoperative atelectasis and complications of lower inspired oxygen fraction (FIO2) compared to conventional oxygen therapy. DESIGN Single center, randomized clinical trial. SETTING University hospital, operating room and postoperative recovery area. PATIENTS One hundred ninety patients aged ≥50 with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I-III who underwent abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomly assigned to either the low FIO2 group (intraoperative: FIO2 0.35, during induction and recovery: FIO2 0.7) or the conventional FIO2 group (intraoperative: FIO2 0.6, during induction and recovery: FIO2 1.0). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was postoperative atelectasis measured with lung ultrasonography at postoperative 30 min in the post-anesthesia care unit (consolidation score: each region 0-3, 12 region, total score range of 0 to 36, a lower score indicating better aeration). MAIN RESULTS Seven patients in the low FIO2 group were omitted from the study due to changing FIO2 during intervention (7/95 (8.4%) vs. 2/95 (2.1%), p = 0.088; low FIO2 group vs. conventional FIO2 group). Overall, atelectasis was detected in 29.7% (51/172) of patients 30 min after surgery by lung ultrasound and 40.1% (69/172) of patients after 2 days after surgery by chest X-ray. The scores of lung ultrasonography and the incidence of significant atelectasis (consolidation score ≥ 2 at any region) were lower in the low FIO2 group than in the conventional FIO2 group (median [IQR]: 3 [1,6] vs. 7 [3,9], p < 0.001 and 17/85 (20%) vs. 34/87 (39%), RR: 0.512 [95% CI: 0.311-0.843], p = 0.006, respectively). The incidence of surgical site infection and length of hospitalization were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Based on our findings, decreased inspired oxygen fraction during anesthesia and recovery did not cause hypoxic events, but instead reduced immediate postoperative atelectasis. The use of intraoperative conventional higher inspired oxygen did not afford any clinical advantages for postoperative recovery in abdominal surgery.

Thakore S, Kundra P, Garg R. A descriptive survey of tracheal extubation practices among Indian anaesthesiologists. Indian J Anaesth 2021; 65:210-215. [PMID: 33776111 PMCID: PMC7989492 DOI: 10.4103/ija.ija_948_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2019] [Revised: 02/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study assesses the extubation practices of anaesthesiologists and whether these practices differ from existing guidelines. METHODS The literature related to tracheal extubation was searched and a validated questionnaire was designed to assess practices of tracheal extubation. The questionnaire included techniques, manoeuvres, preparation, timing and plan of extubation. The survey link was shared with eligible participants. The responses were assessed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. RESULTS Of the 1264 respondents, 66.8% keep difficult airway cart ready only when difficult extubation is anticipated. Only 12.3% of respondents perform deep extubation with supraglottic airway device (SAD) exchange while 73.3% of respondents perform awake extubation with pharmacological control for preventing haemodynamic fluctuations. In the case of anticipated difficult extubation, 48.3% anaesthesiologists prefer the airway exchange catheter (AEC) exchange technique. Of all, 84.8% anaesthesiologists administer 100% oxygen before performing extubation and 81.7% continue to oxygenate during and 83.9% provide oxygen after extubation in all patients. In the case of suspected airway edema or collapse or surgical cause for airway compromise, 70% anaesthesiologists perform a leak test. The most preferred plan of extubation in patients with suspected airway collapse after surgery is direct extubation in fully awake position (54.6%). In patients with anticipated difficult extubation, 50.8% anaesthesiologists prefer to ventilate for 24 hours and reassess. CONCLUSION We observed that the extubation practices vary widely among anaesthesiologists. Almost half of the anaesthesiologists were unaware of extubation guidelines.

Abstract
Initiation of preoxygenation prior to anesthetic induction and tracheal intubation is a commonly recognized technique intended to boost oxygen reservoirs in the body and thus slow the progression of desaturation of arterial hemoglobin at times of apnea. Even though challenges associated with ventilation and intubation are inconsistent, it is preferable for all patients to necessitate preoxygenation. The effectiveness of preoxygenation is measured by its performance and efficiency. Determinant factors of efficacy indices include rises in the alveolar O2 fraction (FAO2), reductions in the alveolar nitrogen fraction (FAN2), and improvements in the arterial O2 stress (PAO2). The effectiveness or efficiency of preoxygenation during apnea is evaluated from the declining trend in level of oxyhemoglobin desaturation (SAO2). The maximal risk associated with preoxygenation generally comprises delayed diagnosis of oesophageal intubation, absorption atelectasis, generation of reactive oxygen species, and incidences of adverse hemodynamic results. Since the time of preoxygenation is minimal, there are limited hemodynamic effects and the aggregation of reactive oxygen species to counteract its effectiveness. In general, three methods of preoxygenation techniques are followed for the routine procedures, namely, deep breathing, rapid breathing at fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 1 for two to five minutes, and the four vital capacities method. Health professionals, especially anesthesiologists specialized in Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) and traumatology, must be empowered by alternative methods like trans-tracheal ventilation to resolve life-threatening medical emergencies. Equipment accessibility and needful training are two essential components that are recommended for significant preparedness. The present article reviews the advantages conferred by the preoxygenation techniques with special attention to the high-risk population. It also details the inadequacies and the risks associated with the preoxygenation technique.

Abstract
There is a paucity of literature on extubation technique and a lack of consensus regarding the definition of smooth extubation. This narrative review paper defines an ideal extubation, otherwise known as a “smooth extubation,” reviews perioperative criteria for extubation and risks and adverse events related to extubation, and explores various perioperative techniques that can be used to achieve a smooth extubation while caring for an uncomplicated patient without significant risk factors for extubation failure. In light of the evolving practice during the SARS CoV2 (COVID-19) pandemic to minimize aerosol generation and infection transmission, smooth extubation is particularly important.

Abstract
The medical use of oxygen has been widely and frequently proposed for patients, especially those under critical care; however, its benefit and drawbacks remain controversial for certain conditions. The induction of oxygen therapy is commonly considered for either treating or preventing hypoxia. Therefore, the concept of different types of hypoxia should be understood, particularly in terms of their mechanism, as the effect of oxygen therapy principally varies by the physiological characteristics of hypoxia. Oxygen molecules must be constantly delivered to all cells throughout the human body and utilized effectively in the process of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which is necessary for generating energy through the formation of adenosine triphosphate. If the oxygen availability at the cellular level is inadequate for sustaining the metabolism, the condition of hypoxia which is characterized as heterogeneity in tissue oxygen tension may develop, which is called dysoxia, a more physiological concept that is related to hypoxia. In such hypoxic patients, repetitive measurements of the lactate level in blood are generally recommended in order to select the adequate therapeutic strategy targeting a reduction in lactate production. Excessive oxygen, however, may actually induce a hyperoxic condition which thus can lead to harmful oxidative stress by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species, possibly resulting in cellular dysfunction or death. In contrast, the human body has several oxygen-sensing mechanisms for preventing both hypoxia and hyperoxia that are employed to ensure a proper balance between the oxygen supply and demand and prevent organs and cells from suffering hyperoxia-induced oxidative stress. Thus, while the concept of hyperoxia is known to have possible adverse effects on the lung, the heart, the brain, or other organs in various pathological conditions of critically ill patients, and no obvious evidence has yet been proposed to totally support liberal oxygen supplementation in any subset of critically ill patients, relatively conservative oxygen therapy with cautious monitoring appears to be safe and may improve the outcome by preventing harmful oxidative stress resulting from excessive oxygen administration. Given the biological effects of oxygen molecules, although the optimal target levels remain controversial, unnecessary oxygen administration should be avoided, and exposure to hyperoxemia should be minimized in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND General anesthesia-induced atelectasis is common, and persistent postoperative atelectasis is associated with pulmonary complications. We aimed to evaluate the preventive effects of a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) on postoperative atelectasis and respiratory complications in infants and small children. METHODS In this prospective randomized controlled trial, children (≤2 years) receiving general anesthesia (>2 hours) were randomized into the control and HFNC groups. At the end of the surgery, the first lung ultrasound evaluation was performed in both groups. In the postanesthetic care unit (PACU), the control group received conventional oxygen therapy, while the HFNC group received oxygen via HFNC, with a flow rate of 2 L kg-1 min-1. Before discharge to the ward, a second lung ultrasound examination was performed. The primary outcome was the lung ultrasound score at PACU discharge. The secondary outcomes included the lung ultrasound score at the end of surgery, the incidence of significant atelectasis at PACU discharge, and other postoperative outcomes. RESULTS Lung ultrasound score and the incidence of atelectasis at the end of surgery did not differ significantly between the control (n = 38) and HFNC (n = 40) groups. After staying in the PACU, both groups showed a reduced lung ultrasound score and atelectasis incidence. However, the HFNC group had a significantly lower consolidation score than the control group (0; interquartile range [IQR] = 0-1 vs 3; IQR = 2-4; P< .001). Additionally, none of the patients had significant atelectasis in the HFNC group, compared to 6 patients in the control group (0% vs 15.8%; odds ratio [OR] = 0.444; 95% confidence interval for OR, 0.343-0.575; P = .011). Incidence of desaturation (oxygen saturation [Spo2] ≤ 95%), postoperative complications, and the length of hospital stay did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Preventive use of HFNC after surgery improves the lung ultrasound score and reduces postoperative atelectasis compared to conventional oxygen therapy in infants and small children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mainstay treatment for hypoxaemia is oxygen therapy, which is given to the vast majority of adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The practice of oxygen administration has been liberal, which may result in hyperoxaemia. Some studies have indicated an association between hyperoxaemia and mortality, whilst other studies have not. The ideal target for supplemental oxygen for adults admitted to the ICU is uncertain. Despite a lack of robust evidence of effectiveness, oxygen administration is widely recommended in international clinical practice guidelines. The potential benefit of supplemental oxygen must be weighed against the potentially harmful effects of hyperoxaemia. OBJECTIVES To assess the benefits and harms of higher versus lower fraction of inspired oxygen or targets of arterial oxygenation for adults admitted to the ICU. SEARCH METHODS We identified trials through electronic searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, Science Citation Index Expanded, BIOSIS Previews, CINAHL, and LILACS. We searched for ongoing or unpublished trials in clinical trials registers. We also scanned the reference lists of included studies. We ran the searches in December 2018. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared higher versus lower fraction of inspired oxygen or targets of arterial oxygenation for adults admitted to the ICU. We included trials irrespective of publication type, publication status, and language. We included trials with a difference between the intervention and control groups of a minimum 1 kPa in partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), minimum 10% in fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), or minimum 2% in arterial oxygen saturation of haemoglobin/non-invasive peripheral oxygen saturation (SaO2/SpO2). We excluded trials randomizing participants to hypoxaemia (FiO2 below 0.21, SaO2/SpO2 below 80%, and PaO2 below 6 kPa) and to hyperbaric oxygen. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Three review authors independently, and in pairs, screened the references retrieved in the literature searches and extracted data. Our primary outcomes were all-cause mortality, the proportion of participants with one or more serious adverse events, and quality of life. None of the trials reported the proportion of participants with one or more serious adverse events according to the International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) criteria. Nonetheless, most trials reported several serious adverse events. We therefore included an analysis of the effect of higher versus lower fraction of inspired oxygen, or targets using the highest reported proportion of participants with a serious adverse event in each trial. Our secondary outcomes were lung injury, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and sepsis. None of the trials reported on lung injury as a composite outcome, however some trials reported on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia. We included an analysis of the effect of higher versus lower fraction of inspired oxygen or targets using the highest reported proportion of participants with ARDS or pneumonia in each trial. To assess the risk of systematic errors, we evaluated the risk of bias of the included trials. We used GRADE to assess the overall certainty of the evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included 10 RCTs (1458 participants), seven of which reported relevant outcomes for this review (1285 participants). All included trials had an overall high risk of bias, whilst two trials had a low risk of bias for all domains except blinding of participants and personnel. Meta-analysis indicated harm from higher fraction of inspired oxygen or targets as compared with lower fraction or targets of arterial oxygenation regarding mortality at the time point closest to three months (risk ratio (RR) 1.18, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01 to 1.37; I2 = 0%; 4 trials; 1135 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Meta-analysis indicated harm from higher fraction of inspired oxygen or targets as compared with lower fraction or targets of arterial oxygenation regarding serious adverse events at the time point closest to three months (estimated highest proportion of specific serious adverse events in each trial RR 1.13, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.23; I2 = 0%; 1234 participants; 6 trials; very low-certainty evidence). These findings should be interpreted with caution given that they are based on very low-certainty evidence. None of the included trials reported any data on quality of life at any time point. Meta-analysis indicated no evidence of a difference between higher fraction of inspired oxygen or targets as compared with lower fraction or targets of arterial oxygenation on lung injury at the time point closest to three months (estimated highest reported proportion of lung injury RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.36; I2 = 0%; 1167 participants; 5 trials; very low-certainty evidence). None of the included trials reported any data on acute myocardial infarction or stroke, and only one trial reported data on the effects on sepsis. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS We are very uncertain about the effects of higher versus lower fraction of inspired oxygen or targets of arterial oxygenation for adults admitted to the ICU on all-cause mortality, serious adverse events, and lung injuries at the time point closest to three months due to very low-certainty evidence. Our results indicate that oxygen supplementation with higher versus lower fractions or oxygenation targets may increase mortality. None of the trials reported the proportion of participants with one or more serious adverse events according to the ICH-GCP criteria, however we found that the trials reported an increase in the number of serious adverse events with higher fractions or oxygenation targets. The effects on quality of life, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and sepsis are unknown due to insufficient data.

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.

Effects of inspired oxygen concentration during emergence from general anaesthesia on postoperative lung impedance changes evaluated by electrical impedance tomography: a randomised controlled trial.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of three different inspired oxygen concentrations (40%, 80%, and 100%) at anaesthesia emergence on postoperative lung volumes as measured by global impedance of electrical impedance tomography (EIT). This is a randomised, controlled, and assessor-blinded study in single-centre from May 2017 to August 2017. Seventy-one patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery with healthy lung condition were randomly allocated into the three groups based on the concentration of inspired oxygen applied during anaesthesia emergence: 40%-, 80%- or 100%-oxygen. End-expiratory lung impedance (EELI) with normal tidal ventilation and total lung impedance (TLI) with full respiratory effort were measured preoperatively and before discharge in the post-anaesthesia care unit by EIT, and perioperative changes (the ratio of difference between preoperative and postoperative value to preoperative value) were compared among the three groups. Postoperative lung impedances were significantly reduced compared with preoperative values in all patients (P < 0.001); however, perioperative lung impedance reduction (%) did not differ among the three oxygen groups. The mean reduction ratio in each 40%-, 80%-, and 100%-oxygen group were 37% ± 13%, 41% ± 14%, and 46% ± 14% for EELI (P = 0.125) and 40% ± 20%, 44% ± 17% and 49% ± 20% for TLI (P = 0.276), respectively. Inspired oxygen concentrations applied during anaesthesia emergence did not show a significant difference in postoperative lung volume as measured by EIT in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery with healthy lungs.Trial registration cris.nih.go.kr (KCT0002642).

Abstract
Editor’s Perspective
What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
Anesthesia is increasingly common in elderly and overweight patients and prompted the current study to explore mechanisms of age- and weight-dependent worsening of arterial oxygen tension (Pao2).
Methods
This is a primary analysis of pooled data in patients with (1) American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification of 1; (2) normal forced vital capacity; (3) preoxygenation with an inspired oxygen fraction (Fio2) more than 0.8 and ventilated with Fio2 0.3 to 0.4; (4) measurements done during anesthesia before surgery. Eighty patients (21 women and 59 men, aged 19 to 69 yr, body mass index up to 30 kg/m2) were studied with multiple inert gas elimination technique to assess shunt and perfusion of poorly ventilated regions (low ventilation/perfusion ratio []) and computed tomography to assess atelectasis.
Results
Pao2/Fio2 was lower during anesthesia than awake (368; 291 to 470 [median; quartiles] vs. 441; 397 to 462 mm Hg; P = 0.003) and fell with increasing age and body mass index. Log shunt was best related to a quadratic function of age with largest shunt at 45 yr (r2 =0.17, P = 0.001). Log shunt was linearly related to body mass index (r2 = 0.15, P < 0.001). A multiple regression analysis including age, age2, and body mass index strengthened the association further (r2 = 0.27). Shunt was highly associated to atelectasis (r2 = 0.58, P < 0.001). Log low showed a linear relation to age (r2 = 0.14, P = 0.001).
Conclusions
Pao2/Fio2 ratio was impaired during anesthesia, and the impairment increased with age and body mass index. Shunt was related to atelectasis and was a more important cause of oxygenation impairment in middle-aged patients, whereas low, likely caused by airway closure, was more important in elderly patients. Shunt but not low increased with increasing body mass index. Thus, increasing age and body mass index impaired gas exchange by different mechanisms during anesthesia.

The Effects of Intraoperative Inspired Oxygen Fraction on Postoperative Pulmonary Parameters in Patients with General Anesthesia: A Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2019; 8:jcm8050583. [PMID: 31035324 PMCID: PMC6572026 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8050583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2019] [Revised: 04/26/2019] [Accepted: 04/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
High intraoperative inspired oxygen concentration is applied to prevent desaturation during induction and recovery of anesthesia. However, high oxygen concentration may lead to postoperative pulmonary complications. The purpose of this study is to compare the postoperative pulmonary parameters according to intraoperative inspired oxygen fraction in patients undergoing general anesthesia. We identified all randomized controlled trials investigating postoperative differences in arterial gas exchange according to intraoperative fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). A total of 10 randomized controlled trials were included, and 787 patients were analyzed. Postoperative PaO2 was lower in the high FiO2 group compared with the low FiO2 group (mean difference (MD) −4.97 mmHg, 95% CI −8.21 to −1.72, p = 0.003). Postoperative alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (AaDO2) was higher (MD 3.42 mmHg, 95% CI 0.95 to 5.89, p = 0.007) and the extent of atelectasis was more severe (MD 2.04%, 95% CI 0.14 to 3.94, p = 0.04) in high intraoperative FiO2 group compared with low FiO2 group. However, postoperative SpO2 was comparable between the two groups. The results of this meta-analysis suggest that high inspired oxygen fraction during anesthesia may impair postoperative pulmonary parameters. Cautious approach in intraoperative inspired oxygen fraction is required for patients susceptible to postoperative pulmonary complications.

Abstract
Postoperative pulmonary complications are a major determinant of outcome for patients and consume huge resources within hospital, particularly in critical care. Prediction and anticipation of postoperative pulmonary complications are vital for patient selection and, in some cases, for informed patient consent. Being able to assess the likelihood of postoperative pulmonary complications also allows research into methods to reduce them by allowing allocation of patients to the appropriate arms of research trials. Some patients have pre-operative characteristics or belong to patient groups such as those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or obstructive sleep apnoea, where techniques and evidence-based guidance to avoid or reduce complications are becoming established. Intra-operative ventilation and the use of lung-protective ventilation may be helpful during major surgery, but studies looking at reduced tidal volumes, recruitment and levels of positive end-expiratory pressure, have this far only led to a degree of consensus in terms of tidal volume, although parameters that predispose to postoperative pulmonary complications are becoming clearer. Optimal postoperative care in terms of analgesia, positioning, physiotherapy and mobilisation is another developing area. Techniques such as continuous positive airways pressure, non-invasive ventilation and high-flow nasal humidified oxygen appear to show some benefit, but the exact roles, pressures and timings of each are currently being explored. Much remains to be researched and developed into evidence-based practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite many previous studies, the optimal oxygen fraction during general anesthesia remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of lowering intraoperative fraction of inspired oxygen on postoperative gas exchange in patients undergoing microvascular decompression (MVD). METHODS We conducted a pre-post study to compare postoperative gas exchange with different intraoperative oxygen fractions. From April 2010 to June 2017, 1456 consecutive patients who underwent MVD were enrolled. Starting in January 2014, routine oxygen fraction was lowered from 1.0 to 0.3 during anesthetic induction/awakening and from 0.5 to 0.3 during anesthetic maintenance. Postoperative gas exchange, presented as the minimum value of PaO2/FIO2 ratio within 48 hours, were compared along with adverse events. RESULTS Among 1456 patients, 623 (42.8%) patients were stratified into group H (high FIO2) and 833 (57.2%) patients into group L (low FIO2). Intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure was used in 126 (15.1%) patients in group H and 90 (14.4%) patients in group L (p = 0.77).The minimum value of PaO2/ FIO2 ratio within 48 hours after surgery was significantly greater in the group L (226.13 vs. 323.12; p < 0.001) without increasing any adverse events. CONCLUSION In patients undergoing MVD, lowering routine FIO2 and avoiding 100% O2 improved postoperative gas exchange.

Abstract
Perioperative lung injury is a major source of postoperative morbidity, excess healthcare use, and avoidable mortality. Many potential inciting factors can lead to this condition, including intraoperative ventilator induced lung injury. Questions exist as to whether protective ventilation strategies used in the intensive care unit for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome are equally beneficial for surgical patients, most of whom do not present with any pre-existing lung pathology. Studied both individually and in combination as a package of intraoperative lung protective ventilation, the use of low tidal volumes, moderate positive end expiratory pressure, and recruitment maneuvers have been shown to improve oxygenation and pulmonary physiology and to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in at risk patient groups. Further work is needed to define the potential contributions of alternative ventilator strategies, limiting excessive intraoperative oxygen supplementation, use of non-invasive techniques in the postoperative period, and personalized mechanical ventilation. Although the weight of evidence strongly suggests a role for lung protective ventilation in moderate risk patient groups, definitive evidence of its benefit for the general surgical population does not exist. However, given the shift in understanding of what is needed for adequate oxygenation and ventilation under anesthesia, the largely historical arguments against the use of intraoperative lung protective ventilation may soon be outdated, on the basis of its expanding track record of safety and efficacy in multiple settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tracheal extubations may be performed before or after awakening from anaesthesia. The advantage of extubation during anaesthesia may avoid all the unpleasant effects of fully awake extubation such as severe hypertension and tachycardia, malignant dysrhythmias, myocardial ischemia laryngospasm, and cough induced high intraocular and intracranial pressure. AIM To show the current practice of performing extubations in Kosovo, as well as the advantage and disadvantage in performing this procedure in an awake patient or inpatient in light anaesthesia. MATERIAL This study is conducted at the Regional Hospitals and the University Clinical Center of Kosovo during the year 2015. A questionnaire is given to the anesthesiologists to collect information about the techniques used for extubation, timing and management of extubation. RESULTS Based on this survey results that 86% of an anesthesiologist (71) extubate the patients when they are completely awake, while 14% of them (12) prefer to extubate the patients under light anaesthesia. From all anesthesiologists involved in this study, forty of them reported problems during extubation. Complications were related to airway, and they are treated by oxygenation and jaw support, but in rare cases, reintubation were performed. CONCLUSION Complications during extubation remain important risk factor while extubation during light anaesthesia can minimise some of them.

Associations between intraoperative ventilator settings during one-lung ventilation and postoperative pulmonary complications: a prospective observational study. BMC Anesthesiol 2018; 18:13.

Abstract
Background The interest in perioperative lung protective ventilation has been increasing. However, optimal management during one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains undetermined, which not only includes tidal volume (VT) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) but also inspired oxygen fraction (FIO2). We aimed to investigate current practice of intraoperative ventilation during OLV, and analyze whether the intraoperative ventilator settings are associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after thoracic surgery. Methods We performed a prospective observational two-center study in Japan. Patients scheduled for thoracic surgery with OLV from April to October 2014 were eligible. We recorded ventilator settings (FIO2, VT, driving pressure (ΔP), and PEEP) and calculated the time-weighted average (TWA) of ventilator settings for the first 2 h of OLV. PPCs occurring within 7 days of thoracotomy were investigated. Associations between ventilator settings and the incidence of PPCs were examined by multivariate logistic regression. Results We analyzed perioperative information, including preoperative characteristics, ventilator settings, and details of surgery and anesthesia in 197 patients. Pressure control ventilation was utilized in most cases (92%). As an initial setting for OLV, an FIO2 of 1.0 was selected for more than 60% of all patients. Throughout OLV, the median TWA FIO2 of 0.8 (0.65-0.94), VT of 6.1 (5.3-7.0) ml/kg, ΔP of 17 (15-20) cm H2O, and PEEP of 4 (4-5) cm H2O was applied. Incidence rate of PPCs was 25.9%, and FIO2 was independently associated with the occurrence of PPCs in multivariate logistic regression. The adjusted odds ratio per FIO2 increase of 0.1 was 1.30 (95% confidence interval: 1.04-1.65, P = 0.0195). Conclusions High FIO2 was applied to the majority of patients during OLV, whereas low VT and slight degree of PEEP were commonly used in our survey. Our findings suggested that a higher FIO2 during OLV could be associated with increased incidence of PPCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After general anaesthesia (GA) in adults, the optimal tracheal extubation technique (positive pressure or suctioning) remains debated. The primary endpoint of this study was to assess the effects of these techniques on onset time of desaturation (SpO2<92%). METHODS Sixty-nine patients with a body mass index<30 scheduled for elective orthopaedic surgery were allocated to positive pressure (PP) or suctioning (SUC) group. GA was standardised with propofol and remifentanil via target-controlled infusion. A morphine bolus of 0.15mg/kg was administered 20-30mins before the end of surgery. The effect of extubation technique on onset time of desaturation (T92) was assessed during the first 10mins after extubation during the spontaneous air breathing. Secondary endpoints included: frequency of desaturation, respiratory complications, need to use oxygen therapy and SpO2 at the end of the first hour while breathing in air (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01323049). RESULTS Baseline patient characteristics and intraoperative management data for the 68 patients included had no relevant clinical difference between groups. T92 (sec) after tracheal extubation was 214 (168) vs. 248 (148) in the PP and SUC groups, respectively (P=0.44). In the PP and SUC groups, 50 and 43% reached a SpO2<92% within the first 10mins after extubation respectively (P=0.73). There were no statistically significant differences between groups for any secondary endpoints. CONCLUSIONS Positive pressure extubation as compared with suctioning extubation did not seem to delay onset time of desaturation after GA in standard weight adult patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Volume controlled ventilation with low PEEP is used in neuro-anesthesia to provide constant PaCO2 levels and prevent raised intracranial pressure. Therefore, neurosurgery patients prone to atelectasis formation, however, we could not find any study that evaluates prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications in neurosurgery. DESIGN A prospective, randomized controlled study. SETTING Intensive care unit in a university hospital in Istanbul. PATIENTS Seventy-nine ASAI-II patients aged between 18 and 70years scheduled for elective supratentorial craniotomy were included in the study. INTERVENTIONS Patients randomized into 3 groups after surgery. The Group IS (n=20) was treated with incentive spirometry 5 times in 1min and 5min per hour, the Group CPAP (n=20) with continuous positive airway pressure 10 cmH2O pressure and 0.4 FiO2 via an oronasal mask 5min per hour, and the Group Control (n=20) 4L·min-1O2 via mask; all during the first 6h postoperatively. Respiratory functions tests and arterial blood gases analysis were performed before the induction of anesthesia (Baseline), 30min, 6h, 24h postoperatively. MAIN RESULTS The IS and CPAP applications have similar effects with respect to FVC values. The postoperative 30min FEV1 values were statistically significantly reduced compared to the Baseline in all groups (p<0.0001). FEV1 values were statistically significantly increased at the postoperative 24h compared to the postoperative 30min in the Groups IS and CPAP (p<0.0001). This increase, however, was not observed in the Group Control, and the postoperative 24h FEV1 values were statistically significantly lower in the Group Control compared to the Group IS (p=0.015). CONCLUSION Although this study is underpowered to detect differences in FEV1 values, the postoperative 24h FEV1 values were significantly higher in the IS group than the Control group and this difference was not observed between the CPAP and Control groups. It might be evaluate a favorable effect of IS in neurosurgery patients. But larger studies are needed to make a certain conclusion.
