Equal Ratio Ventilation Reduces Blood Loss During Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery.


ABSTRACT:

Study design

A prospective randomized double-blinded study.

Objective

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of two different ventilator modes (inspiratory to expiratory ratio (I:E ratio) of 1:1 and 1:2) on intraoperative surgical bleeding in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery.

Summary of background data

During PLIF surgery, a considerable amount of blood loss is anticipated. In the prone position, engorgement of the vertebral vein increases surgical bleeding. We hypothesized that equal ratio ventilation (ERV) with I:E ratio of 1:1 would lower peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) in the prone position and consequentially decrease surgical bleeding.

Methods

Twenty-eight patients were randomly assigned to receive either ERV (ERV group, n = 14) or conventional ventilation with I:E ratio of 1:2 (control group, n = 14). Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were measured at 5 min after anesthesia induction, at 5 min after the prone position, at the time of skin closure, and at 5 min after turning to the supine position.

Results

The amount of intraoperative surgical bleeding in the ERV group was significantly less than that in the control group (975.7 ± 349.9 mL vs. 1757.1 ± 1172.7 mL, P = 0.03). Among other hemodynamic and respiratory parameters, PIP, plateau inspiratory pressure (Pplat) were significantly lower and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) was significantly higher in the ERV group than those of the control group throughout the study period, respectively (all P < 0.05).

Conclusion

Compared to conventional ratio ventilation, ERV provided lower PIP and reduced intraoperative surgical blood loss in patients undergoing PLIF surgery.Level of Evidence: 2.
