The Effect of Ventilation with Individualized Positive End-Expiratory Pressure on Postoperative Atelectasis in Patients Undergoing Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: For patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, the pneumoperitoneum with a steep Trendelenburg position could worsen intraoperative respiratory mechanics and result in postoperative atelectasis. We investigated the effects of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on postoperative atelectasis, evaluated using lung ultrasonography. Sixty patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy were randomly allocated into two groups. Individualized groups (n = 30) received individualized PEEP determined by a decremental PEEP trial using 20 to 7 cm H₂O, aiming at maximizing respiratory compliance, whereas standardized groups (n = 30) received a standardized PEEP of 7 cm H₂O during the pneumoperitoneum. Ultrasound examination was performed on 12 sections of thorax, and the lung ultrasound score was measured as 0-3 by considering the number of B lines and the degree of subpleural consolidation. The primary outcome was the difference between the lung ultrasound scores measured before anesthesia induction and just after extubation in the operating room. An increase in the difference means the development of atelectasis. The optimal PEEP in the individualized group was determined as the median (interquartile range) 14 (12-18) cm H₂O. Compared with the standardized group, the difference in the lung ultrasound scores was significantly smaller in the individualized group (-0.5 ± 2.7 vs. 6.0 ± 2.9, mean difference -6.53, 95% confidence interval (-8.00 to -5.07), p < 0.001), which means that individualized PEEP was effective to reduce atelectasis. The lung ultrasound score measured after surgery was significantly lower in the individualized group than the standardized group (8.1 ± 5.7 vs. 12.2 ± 4.2, mean difference -4.13, 95% confidence interval (-6.74 to -1.53), p = 0.002). However, the arterial partial pressure of the oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen levels during the surgery showed no significant time-group interaction between the two groups in repeated-measures analysis of variance (p = 0.145). The incidence of a composite of postoperative respiratory complications was comparable between the two groups. Individualized PEEP determined by maximal respiratory compliance during the pneumoperitoneum and steep Trendelenburg position significantly reduced postoperative atelectasis, as evaluated using lung ultrasonography. However, the clinical significance of this finding should be evaluated by a larger clinical trial.

Project description:BackgroundTo observe the effects of different positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation strategies on pulmonary compliance and complications in patients undergoing robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostate surgery.MethodsA total of 120 patients with the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Class I or II who underwent elective robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy were enrolled. We randomized the patients divided into divided into three groups of 40 patients each: PEEP0, PEEP5, or PEEP10. Master Anesthetist used volume control ventilation intraoperatively with an intraoperative deep muscle relaxation strategy. Respiratory mechanics indexes were recorded at six time-points: 10 mimuts after anaesthesia induction, immediately after pneumoperitoneum establishment, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and at the end of pneumoperitoneum. Arterial blood gas analysis and oxygenation index calculation were performed 10 mimuts after anaesthesia induction, 60 mimuts after pneumoperitoneum, and after tracheal extubation. Postoperative pulmonary complications were also recorded.ResultsAfter pneumoperitoneum, peak inspiratory pressure (Ppeak), plateau pressure (Pplat), mean pressure (Pmean), driving pressure (ΔP), and airway resistance (Raw) increased significantly, and pulmonary compliance (Crs) decreased, persisting during pneumoperitoneum in all groups. Between immediately after pneumoperitoneum establishment, 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min, pulmonary compliance in the 10cmH2OPEEP group was higher than in the 5cmH2OPEEP (P < 0.05) and 0cmH2OPEEP groups(P < 0.05). The driving pressure (ΔP) immediately after pneumoperitoneum establishment, at 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min in the 10cmH2OPEEP group was lower than in the 5cmH2OPEEP (P < 0.05) and 0cmH2OPEEP groups (P < 0.05). Sixty min after pneumoperitoneum and tracheal extubation, the PaCO2 did not differ significantly among the three groups (P > 0.05). The oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was higher in the PEEP5 group than in the PEEP0 and PEEP10 groups 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and after tracheal extubation, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). In postoperative pulmonary complications, the incidence of atelectasis was higher in the PEEP0 group than in the PEEP5 and PEEP10 groups, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe use of PEEP at 5cmH2O during RARP increases lung compliance, improves intraoperative oxygenation index and reduces postoperative atelectasis.Trial registrationThis study was registered in the China Clinical Trials Registry on May 30, 2020 (Registration No. ChiCTR2000033380).

Project description:ObjectivesRobotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is typically conducted in steep Trendelenburg position (STP). The aim of the study was to evaluate whether crystalloid administration and individual management of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improve peri- and post-operative pulmonary function in patients undergoing RALP.DesignProspective randomised single-centre single-blinded explorative study.SettingPatients were either allocated to a standard PEEP (5 cmH2O) group or an individualised high PEEP group. Furthermore, each group was divided into a liberal and a restrictive crystalloid group (8 vs. 4 mL/kg/h predicted body weight). Individualised PEEP levels were determined by means of preoperative recruitment manoeuvre and PEEP titration in STP.ParticipantsInformed consent was obtained from 98 patients scheduled for elective RALP.InterventionsThe following intraoperative parameters were analysed in each of the four study groups: ventilation setting (peak inspiratory pressure [PIP], plateau pressure, driving pressure [Pdriv], lung compliance [LC] and mechanical power [MP]) and postoperative pulmonary function (bed-side spirometry). The spirometric parameters Tiffeneau index (FEV1/FVC ratio) and mean forced expiratory flow (FEF25-75) were measured pre- and post-operatively. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD), and groups were compared with ANOVA. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.ResultsThe two individualised high PEEP groups (mean PEEP 15.5 [±1.71 cmH2O]) showed intraoperative significantly higher PIP, plateau pressure and MP levels but significantly decreased Pdriv and increased LC. On the first and second postoperative day, patients with individualised high PEEP levels had a significantly higher mean Tiffeneau index and FEF25-75. Perioperative oxygenation and ventilation and postoperative spirometric parameters were not influenced by restrictive or liberal crystalloid infusion in either of the two respective PEEP groups.ConclusionsIndividualised high PEEP levels (≥14 cmH2O) during RALP improved intraoperative blood oxygenation and resulted in more lung-protective ventilation. Furthermore, postoperative pulmonary function was improved for up to 48 h after surgery in the sum of the two individualised high PEEP groups. Restrictive crystalloid infusion during RALP seemed to have no effect on peri- and post-operative oxygenation and pulmonary function.

Project description:BackgroundPerioperative sleep disorders (PSD) are an independent risk factor for postoperative delirium (POD), which is a common complication after surgery. Elderly patients who undergo robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) often experience perioperative sleep disorders (PSD). Dexamethasone, a medication that works by inhibiting the hypothalamic-pituitary-suprarenal cortical axis, can reduce the negative effects of surgical stress. The objective of this study was to determine whether intravenous administration of dexamethasone at the time of anesthesia induction could improve postoperative sleep quality in elderly patients, thereby indirectly reducing the risk of postoperative cognitive impairment and accelerating postoperative rehabilitation.Methods/designThis study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that was conducted at a single center. A sample size of 116 patients was determined through calculation, and these patients were randomly assigned to either the dexamethasone group (group D, n = 58) or the blank control group (group C, n = 58). On the day of surgery, the anesthesia nurse prepared either diluted dexamethasone or saline in advance, according to the patient's assigned group. The blinded anesthesiologist administered the medication during induction, and a dedicated person followed up with the patient for three consecutive postoperative days. All other aspects of care were managed equally between the two groups. The primary outcome measure was sleep quality, while secondary outcome measures included postoperative sleep time, postoperative delirium (POD), pain scores, and other complications. Relevant test measures were recorded for analysis.DiscussionThis study aims to investigate the impact of intravenous dexamethasone on sleep quality and duration of patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). If the findings of this study protocol are affirmative, it could enhance the sleep quality of elderly patients after surgery, thereby minimizing the risk of postoperative delirium (POD), and providing substantial evidence for the perioperative enhanced recovery management of elderly patients.Trial registrationChinese clinical trial registry: ChiCTR2200063488, Registered on 5 October 2022.
