Intraoperative ventilation: incidence and risk factors for receiving large tidal volumes during general anesthesia

چکیده
BACKGROUND There is a growing concern of the potential injurious role of ventilatory over-distention in patients without lung injury. No formal guidelines exist for intraoperative ventilation settings, but the use of tidal volumes (VT) under 10 mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW) has been recommended in healthy patients. We explored the incidence and risk factors for receiving large tidal volumes (VT > 10 mL/kg PBW). METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of our prospectively collected perioperative electronic database for current intraoperative ventilation practices and risk factors for receiving large tidal volumes (VT > 10 mL/kg PBW). We included all adults undergoing prolonged (≥ 4 h) elective abdominal surgery and collected demographic, preoperative (comorbidities), intraoperative (i.e. ventilatory settings, fluid administration) and postoperative (outcomes) information. We compared patients receiving exhaled tidal volumes > 10 mL/kg PBW with those that received 8-10 or < 8 mL/kg PBW with univariate and logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Ventilatory settings were non-uniform in the 429 adults included in the analysis. 17.5% of all patients received VT > 10 mL/kg PBW. 34.0% of all obese patients (body mass index, BMI, ≥ 30), 51% of all patients with a height < 165 cm, and 34.6% of all female patients received VT > 10 mL/kg PBW. CONCLUSIONS Ventilation with VT > 10 mL/kg PBW is still common, although poor correlation with PBW suggests it may be unintentional. BMI ≥ 30, female gender and height < 165 cm may predispose to receive large tidal volumes during general anesthesia. Further awareness of patients' height and PBW is needed to improve intraoperative ventilation practices. The impact on clinical outcome needs confirmation.

Background & Aims: Elimination of carbon dioxide is related to the alveolar ventilation, respiratory rate and tidal volume. The aim of this study to determine the effect of mechanical ventilation with different tidal volumes and constant minute ventilation on the end tidal Co2 and oxygen saturation during general anesthesia and to seek optimum parameters of mechanical ventilation during gener...
متن کاملVariable versus conventional lung protective mechanical ventilation during open abdominal surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND General anesthesia usually requires mechanical ventilation, which is traditionally accomplished with constant tidal volumes in volume- or pressure-controlled modes. Experimental studies suggest that the use of variable tidal volumes (variable ventilation) recruits lung tissue, improves pulmonary function and reduces systemic inflammatory response. However, it is currently not known w...

Anesthesiology, V 123 • No 3 501 September 2015 M ECHANICAL ventilation may cause harm to the lung, at least if the lung is already hurt as is the case in intensive care. Can it be harmful also when ventilating the “lung-healthy” patient during anesthesia? Probably not during anesthesia alone, as suggested by animal experiments on prolonged mechanical ventilation,1,2 but inflammatory events,3 s...

Background and purpose: The incidence of postanesthesia shivering varies between 5 and 65 % and patients report it as one of the leading cause of discomfort after operation. Ït may also induce a variety of physiological consequences such as increased oxygen consumption and cardiac output. This study was performed to find out the incidence of postanesthesia shivering in women and to report the...
