Ventilation Mode and Epidural Bleeding in Microdiscectomy: Comparison of Two Ventilation Techniques.
نویسندگان
چکیده
AIM Two different ventilation protocols during general anesthesia have been compared regarding their effects on amount of epidural bleeding during lumbar microdiscectomy in the prone position. Previous studies have not not revealed a relationship between ventilation mode and epidural bleeding in the prone position while measuring the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) level. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was conducted on 40 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I and II patients that underwent a single level, unilateral lumbar microdiscectomy in the prone position. The anesthetic protocol was the same except the ventilation modes that were used in the study: (1) high volume-low frequency technique in group A, and (2) low volume-high frequency technique in group B. Pulmonary and hemodynamic parameters were noted. The patients also had urinary bladder catheter to measure the intra-abdominal pressure during surgery. Epidural bleeding was measured in every patient after microdiscectomy by using the aspiration volume. A convenience scale was used to assess the surgeon's satisfaction. RESULTS Although intra-abdominal pressure remained within normal ranges in both groups, peak and plateau pressures were slightly higher in group A. Mean epidural bleeding after ligamentum flavum resection was 43.9 ± 11.82 ml in group A, and 26.35 ± 6.59 ml in group B. The difference was statistically significant. Also the surgeon's satisfaction according to convenience scale was better in group B. CONCLUSION Decreasing epidural venous engorgement depends on the ventilation technique and may lead to surgical convenience. It may be suggested that high frequency-low tidal volume ventilation during general anesthesia for lumbar microdiscectomy can be useful in minimizing epidural bleeding by using low peak and plateau pressure during surgery.

A Comparison between Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation and Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation in the Treatment of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Background: Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a non-invasive ventilatory mode, which delivers mechanical ventilation via nasal tubes or prongs. The present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of NIPPV and nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (NCPAP) in reducing the need for intubation in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)....

Background: Early nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) has emerged as a primary modality of respiratory support for preterm infants withrespiratory distress syndrome (RDS). However, 30%-40% of these newborns need subsequent mechanical ventilation. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a promising alternative to NCPAP, especially in po...

Background: Weaning from mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit is an important step in the treatment process. More patients in less than 6 hours after cardiac surgery can be separated from mechanical ventilation and extubated. However, 20-40% of patients after cardiac surgery, due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR), still remain under mechanical ventilation. Therefo...
