Abstract
Robotic-assisted surgery has improved the precision and accuracy of surgical movements with subsequent improved outcomes. However, it requires steep Trendelenburg positioning combined with pneumoperitoneum that negatively affects respiratory mechanics and increases the risk of postoperative respiratory complications. This narrative review summarises the state of the art in ventilatory management of these patients in terms of levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), tidal volume, recruitment manoeuvres, and ventilation modes during both urological and gynaecological robotic-assisted surgery. A review of the literature was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE; after completing abstract and full-text review, 31 articles were included. Although different levels of PEEP were often evaluated within a protective ventilation strategy, including higher levels of PEEP, lower tidal volume, and recruitment manoeuvres vs a conventional ventilation strategy, we conclude that the best PEEP in terms of lung mechanics, gas exchange, and ventilation distribution has not been defined, but moderate PEEP levels (4-8 cm H2O) could be associated with better outcomes than lower or highest levels. Recruitment manoeuvres improved intraoperative arterial oxygenation, end-expiratory lung volume and the distribution of ventilation to dependent (dorsal) lung regions. Pressure-controlled compared with volume-controlled ventilation showed lower peak airway pressures with both higher compliance and higher carbon dioxide clearance. We propose directions to optimise ventilatory management during robotic surgery in light of the current evidence.

Effects of volume-targeted pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation on functional residual capacity and dead space in obese patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. BJA OPEN 2022; 3:100020. [PMID: 37588587 PMCID: PMC10430846 DOI: 10.1016/j.bjao.2022.100020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
Background The effect of inverse inspiration:expiration (I:E) ratio on functional residual capacity (FRC) during pneumoperitoneum is unclear. We hypothesised that volume-targeted pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (vtPC-IRV) would increase FRC by increasing the level of auto-PEEP in low respiratory compliance situations. Methods During robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, 20 obese patients were sequentially ventilated with four different settings for 30 min in each setting: (1) control, I:E ratio of 1:2 and baseline airway pressure (BAP) of 5 cm H2O; (2) IRV2, I:E ratio of 2:1 and BAP off; (3) IRV3, I:E ratio of 3:1 and BAP off; and (4) IRV4, I:E ratio of 4:1 and BAP off. The changes in FRC were identified and compared among these settings. Results The FRC significantly increased as the I:E ratio increased. The FRC values expressed as median (inter-quartile range) during control, IRV2, IRV3, and IRV4 were 1149 (898-1386), 1485 (1018-1717), 1602 (1209-1775), and 1757 (1337-1955) ml, respectively. Auto-PEEP increased significantly as the I:E ratio increased and correlated with FRC (rho=0.303; P=0.006). Shunt and physiological dead space were significantly lower in all IRV groups than in the control group; however, there were no significant differences among the IRV groups. Conclusions vtPC-IRV with shortened expiratory time and increased auto-PEEP effectively increases FRC during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in obese patients. FRC increases progressively as the I:E ratio increases from 1:2 to 4:1; however, an I:E ratio higher than 2:1 does not further improve the dead space. Clinical trial registration UMIN000038989.

Changes in dead space components during pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation: A secondary analysis of a randomized trial. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0258504.

Abstract
Background We previously reported that there were no differences between the lung-protective actions of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation and volume control ventilation based on the changes in serum cytokine levels. Dead space represents a ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and can enable us to understand the heterogeneity and elapsed time changes in ventilation-perfusion mismatch. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial of patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The inspiratory to expiratory ratio was adjusted individually by observing the expiratory flow-time wave in the pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation group (n = 14) and was set to 1:2 in the volume-control ventilation group (n = 13). Using volumetric capnography, the physiological dead space was divided into three dead space components: airway, alveolar, and shunt dead space. The influence of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation and time factor on the changes in each dead space component rate was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon’s signed rank test. Results The physiological dead space and shunt dead space rate were decreased in the pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation group compared with those in the volume control ventilation group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively), and both dead space rates increased with time in both groups. The airway dead space rate increased with time, but the difference between the groups was not significant. There were no significant changes in the alveolar dead space rate. Conclusions Pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation reduced the physiological dead space rate, suggesting an improvement in the total ventilation/perfusion mismatch due to improved inflation of the alveoli affected by heterogeneous expansion disorder without hyperinflation of the normal alveoli. However, the shunt dead space rate increased with time, suggesting that atelectasis developed with time in both groups.

Abstract
Background Expiratory flow-initiated pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation (EF-initiated PC-IRV) reduces physiological dead space. We hypothesised that EF-initiated PC-IRV would be lung protective compared with volume-controlled ventilation (VCV). Methods Twenty-eight men undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy were enrolled in this randomised controlled trial. The EF-initiated PC-IRV group (n = 14) used pressure-controlled ventilation with the volume guaranteed mode. The inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio was individually adjusted by observing the expiratory flow-time wave. The VCV group (n = 14) used the volume control mode with a 1:2 I:E ratio. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare differences in the serum cytokine levels. Results There were no significant differences in serum IL-6 between the EF-initiated PC-IRV (median 34 pg ml-1 (IQR 20.5 to 63.5)) and VCV (31 pg ml-1 (24.5 to 59)) groups (P = 0.84). The physiological dead space rate (physiological dead space/expired tidal volume) was significantly reduced in the EF-initiated PC-IRV group as compared with that in the VCV group (0.31 ± 0.06 vs 0.4 ± 0.07; P<0.001). The physiological dead space rate was negatively correlated with the forced vital capacity (% predicted) in the VCV group (r = -0.85, P<0.001), but not in the EF-initiated PC-IRV group (r = 0.15, P = 0.62). Two patients in the VCV group had permissive hypercapnia with low forced vital capacity (% predicted). Conclusions There were no differences in the lung-protective properties between the two ventilatory strategies. However, EF-initiated PC-IRV reduced physiological dead space rate; thus, it may be useful for reducing the ventilatory volume that is necessary to maintain normocapnia in patients with low forced vital capacity (% predicted) during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Chuang ML. Combining Dynamic Hyperinflation with Dead Space Volume during Maximal Exercise in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. J Clin Med 2020; 9:E1127. [PMID: 32326507 PMCID: PMC7231163 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9041127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Revised: 04/07/2020] [Accepted: 04/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Physiological dead space volume (VD) and dynamic hyperinflation (DH) are two different types of abnormal pulmonary physiology. Although they both involve lung volume, their combination has never been advocated, and thus their effect and implication are unclear. This study aimed (1) to combine VD and DH, and (2) investigate their relationship and clinical significance during exercise, as well as (3) identify a noninvasive variable to represent the VD fraction of tidal volume (VD/VT). Forty-six male subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 34 healthy male subjects matched for age and height were enrolled. Demographic data, lung function, and maximal exercise were investigated. End-expiratory lung volume (EELV) was measured for the control group and estimated for the study group using the formulae reported in our previous study. The VD/VT ratio was measured for the study group, and reference values of VD/VT were used for the control group. In the COPD group, the DHpeak/total lung capacity (TLC, DHpeak%) was 7% and the EELVpeak% was 70%. After adding the VDpeak% (8%), the VDDHpeak% was 15% and the VDEELVpeak% was 78%. Both were higher than those of the healthy controls. In the COPD group, the VDDHpeak% and VDEELVpeak% were more correlated with dyspnea score and exercise capacity than that of the DHpeak% and EELV%, and had a similar strength of correlation with minute ventilation. The VTpeak/TLC (VTpeak%), an inverse marker of DH, was inversely correlated with VD/VT (R2 ≈ 0.50). Therefore, we recommend that VD should be added to DH and EELV, as they are physiologically meaningful and VTpeak% represents not only DH but also dead space ventilation. To obtain VD, the VD/VT must be measured. Because obtaining VD/VT requires invasive arterial blood gases, further studies on noninvasive predicting VD/VT is warranted.

Anesthetic considerations and goals in robotic pediatric surgery: a narrative review. J Anesth 2020; 34:286-293.

Abstract
The morphosis from open surgeries to minimally invasive procedures is in greater part owing to the development of robotics. There has been a hiking popularity of robotic assistance for surgeries in recent years. Though a minimally invasive approach for surgery, it poses major challenges for an anesthesiologist that compound further for pediatric patients. The need of the hour for an anesthesiologist is to have a scrupulous knowledge and understanding of the associated anatomical and physiological considerations in case of pediatric patients. Major anesthetic concerns include restricted patient access, physiologic changes of pneumoperitoneum and different operative positions, risk of hypothermia, efficient fluid and peri-operative pain management. Timely anticipation, cautious observation for peri-operative complications and quick intervention to manage the same are warranted to provide high-quality anesthetic care. This simply implies that as robotic surgery plans to stretch up-to zenith, anesthesiologists shall strive to ace their part in robotic pediatric anesthesia as well. With an efficient and dynamic teamwork, robotic-assisted surgeries hold the potential to turn wonders for the future of surgery.
