Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) combined with general anesthesia (GA) versus GA alone on intrapulmonary shunting during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Methods We searched the Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2009), the specialized trials registered in the Cochrane anesthesia group, PubMed (1966 to Dec. 2009), EMbase (1966 to Dec. 2008), CBM (1978 to Dec. 2009), VIP (1989 to Dec. 2009), CNKI (1915 to Dec. 2009), and handsearched Clinical Anesthesia Journal and Chinese Anesthesia Journal. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the effectiveness of TEA combined with GA versus GA alone on intrapulmonary shunting during OLV were included, The methodological quality of included RCTs was evaluated by two reviewers independently, Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Ten RCTs involving 506 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that there were no significant differences in intrapulmonary shunting during OLV at different times-points of 5, 15, 20, 30, and 60 minutes after OLV. Conclusion Both TEA combined with GA and GA alone have the same Security during OLV. But owing to the low quality and small sample size of the included studies, further more well-designed, large sample size RCTs are needed.
Objective To evaluate the effects of low-dose epinephrine on cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) and awakening time during one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery. Methods Thirty consecutive patients undergoing lobectomy from March to July 2016 in our hospital were randomly divided into an epinephrine group (n=15, 8 males and 7 females at an average age of 58.70±11.40 years) or a saline group (n=15, 7 males and 8 females at an average age of 57.00±11.40 years). They were continuously infused with 0.01 μg/(kg·min) epinephrine or saline after general induction. Hemodynamics was maintained ±20% of the baseline value. All patients were ventilated by a pressure control mode during OLV with tidal volume of 5-8 ml/kg and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (EtCO2) of 35-45 mm Hg. Regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) was monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) continuously. Results Compared with the saline group, the epinephrine group had a high rScO2 during OLV, with a statisitical significance at OLV 40 min and 50 min (67.76%±4.64% vs. 64.08%±3.07%, P=0.016; 67.25%±4.34% vs. 64.20%±3.37%, P=0.040). In addition, the awakening time of patients in the epinephrine group was shorter than that of the saline group (P=0.004), and the awakening time was associated with the duration of low-dose rScO2 (r=0.374). Conclusion Continuous infusion of 0.01 μg/(kg·min) could improve the rScO2 during OLV and shorten awakening time in thoracic surgery.
ObjectiveTo study the effects of visceral adipose tissue area (VTA) and subcutaneous adipose tissue area (STA) on pulmonary ventilation function (PVF), and then to evaluate the impact of abdominal fat distribution on PVF.Methods Patients who underwent both PVF examination and abdominal CT between January 1st and December 31st, 2017 were selected from the electronic medical record system of West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The demographic data and PVF indexes [vital capacity (VC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and 1 s rate (FEV1/FVC)] were collected. VTA and STA were obtained by abdominal CT measurement. The correlations between PVF indexes and VTA or STA were compared. Results A total of 224 patients were included. According to the VTA/STA ratio, there were 92 cases (41.07%) in group VTA/STA<1 and 132 cases (58.93%) in group VTA/STA≥1. VTA was not correlated with FVC (rs=−0.078, P=0.244), but negatively correlated with VC (rs=−0.138, P=0.040), FEV1 (rs=−0.141, P=0.034) and FEV1/FVC (rs=−0.137, P=0.041); STA had no correlation with VC, FVC, FEV1 or FEV1/FVC (P>0.05). VTA/STA was negatively correlated with VC (rs=−0.220, P=0.001), FEV1 (rs=−0.273, P<0.001) and FEV1/FVC (rs=−0.380, P<0.001), but it had no correlation with FVC (rs=−0.083, P=0.214). In group VTA/STA<1, VTA/STA was negatively correlated with FEV1 (rs =−0.205, P=0.050) and FEV1/FVC (rs=−0.317, P=0.002), but it had no correlation with VC or FVC (P>0.05). In group VTA/STA≥1, VTA/STA was negatively correlated with VC, FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC (P<0.05). Conclusions VTA and STA are negatively correlated with PVF. The ratio of VTA/STA can be used as an index to evaluate the effect of abdominal fat distribution on lung function.
Objective To explore the prognostic value of preoperative pulmonary ventilation function for postoperative survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC) . Methods 146 NSCLC patients who underwent cured lung surgical resection between January 1, 2003 and December 31,2008 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were recruited in the study. Pulmonary ventilation function was obtained preoperatively for each patient, including vital capacity ( VC) , forced vital capacity ( FVC) , forcedexpiratory volume in 1 second ( FEV1 ) , FEV1 /FVC, and peak expiratory flow ( PEF) . The effects of the above lung function variables on postoperative survival were evaluated by both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the survival probabilities betweendifferent groups.Results The median survival time after surgery was 31. 0 months ( 95% CI 22. 55-39. 45) . VC% pred, FVC% pred and FEV1% pred showed significant associations with the risk of mortality in the NSCLC patients after surgery ( hazard ratios 0. 979-0. 981, P lt; 0. 05) . The survival time after surgery was significantly shorter in the patients with VC ≤ 80% predicted compared to those with VC gt; 80% predicted ( median survival time: 31. 0 months vs. 34. 0 months) . The same difference could be found between the patients with FVC≤80% predicted and those with FVC gt; 80% predicted ( median survival time: 27. 0 months vs. 43. 0 months) . There was also significant difference in median survival between the patients with FEV1 ≤80% predicted and those with FEV1 gt; 80% predicted ( median survival time: 17. 0 months vs. 44. 0 months) . Conclusion Preoperative pulmonary ventilation function parameters may be used to informclinical decisions and indicate the prognosis of NSCLC patients after surgery.
Objective To study the protective effects and mechanism of intermittent ventilation on lung injury during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods Twenty-four patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) were divided into two groups with random number table: treatment group (n=13),given intermittent ventilation once every 5 minutes during CPB; control group (n=11),no ventilation during CPB. Blood samples were obtained preoperatively. A bronchoalveolar lavage was performed at 2 hours after CPB. The numbers of granulocytes, total protein (TP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluids(BALF) were measured, and lung oxygenate index (OI) were measured preoperatively and 1 hour, 4 hours after CPB termination,respectively. Results The numbers of granulocytes, TP and TNF-α content of treatment group in the BALF were significantly lower than those of the control group (Plt;0.01, P=0.02,0.02),and the lung OI of treatment group at 1 hour and 4 hours after CPB termination was also significantly lower than that of the control group(Plt;0.05); a significant increase of lung OI occurred in both groups at 1 hour and 4 hours after CPB when compared with the same group at baseline before CPB(Plt;0.05). Conclusion Intermittent ventilation has the protective effects on lung injury during CPB by decreasing granulocytes adhesion and alleviating lung inflammatory reaction and endothelial cells injury.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the correlation between positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level and postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery. MethodsThe clinical data of patients who underwent elective thoracoscopic lung surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2022 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to intraoperative PEEP levels: a PEEP 5 cm H2O group and a PEEP 10 cm H2O group. The incidence of PPCs in the two groups after matching was compared using a nearest neighbor matching method with a ratio of 1∶1, setting the clamp value as 0.02. ResultsA total of 538 patients were screened, and after propensity score-matching, a total of 229 pairs (458 patients) were matched, with an average age of 53.9 years and 69.4% (318/458) females. A total of 118 (25.8%) patients had PPCs during hospitalization after surgery, including 60 (26.2%) patients in the PEEP 5 cm H2O group and 58 (25.3%) patients in the PEEP 10 cm H2O group, with no statistically significant difference between the two groups [OR=0.997, 95%CI (0.495, 1.926), P=0.915]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PEEP was not an independent risk factor for PPCs [OR=0.920, 95%CI (0.587, 1.441), P=0.715]. ConclusionFor patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung surgery, intraoperative PEEP (5 cm H2O or 10 cm H2O) is not associated with the risk of PPCs during hospitalization after surgery, which needs to be further verified by prospective, large-sample randomized controlled studies.
Objective To evaluate the association between pressure-controlled ventilation-volume guaranteed (PCV-VG) mode and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) mode on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis of 329 patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic lung resection in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between September 2020 and March 2021 was conducted, including 213 females and 116 males, aged 53.6±11.3 years. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade wasⅠ-Ⅲ. The patients who received lung-protective ventilation strategy during anesthesia were divided into a PCV-VG group (n=165) and a VCV group (n=164) according to intraoperative ventilation mode. Primary outcome was the incidence of PPCs during hospitalization. Results A total of 73 (22.2%) patients developed PPCs during hospitalization. The PPCs incidence of PCV-VG and VCV was 21.8% and 22.6%, respectively (RR=0.985, 95%CI 0.569-1.611, P=0.871). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in the incidence of PPCs between PCV-VG and VCV mode during hospitalization (OR=0.846, 95%CI 0.487-1.470, P=0.553). Conclusion Among patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection, intraoperative ventilation mode (PCV-VG or VCV) is not associated with the risk of PPCs during hospitalization.

Objective To assess the value of pulmonary ventilation test in evaluating the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients. Methods Data were collected retrospectively from consecutive patients with coronary heart disease or valvular disease, who were prepared for cardiac surgery in Zhongshan Hospital from January 2007 to December 2008. The main outcome indices were mortality of surgery, the prolonging time of using artificial airway ( ≥3 days) , and the prolonging time in intensive care units ( ICU) ( ≥5 days) . Then the relationship between the poor outcome and ventilation disorder was analyzed. Results In the 422 cases,the incidence of ventilation disorder was 55% , included 27. 5% restrictive ventilation disorder, 15. 6% obstructive ventilation disorder, and 11. 8% mixed ventilation disorder. And the severity of pulmonaryventilation disorder was mild of 34. 6% , moderate of 15. 2% , and severe of 5. 2% . Among the 42 patients who gave up surgery,50% were due to ventilation dysfunction, and the patients were prone to give up surgery with the deterioration of pulmonary function( P lt; 0. 001) . But comparing with the patients with normal pulmonary function, the risk of poor outcome after surgery did not significantly increase in the patients with ventilation disorder ( P gt; 0. 05 ) . The logistic regression analysis indicated that cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) was an absolute risk factor ( P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusions The incidence of ventilation disorder in patients with cardiac disease is quite high. Severe pulmonary ventilation disorder is the significant cause of giving up surgery, but may be not the absolute contraindication of cardiac surgery.

Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients who needed one-lung ventilation during thoracotomy under general anesthesia with double-lunmen endotracheal tubes were chosen to be the study subjects. No obvious abnormalities were detected by cardiopulmonary function screening, blood test, hepatorenal function and blood coagulation examinations in these patients. They were randomly divided into hypertonic saline group (group A) and control group (group B) with 30 patients in each group. For patients in group A, 30 minutes after one-lung ventilation, infusion of 7.5% hypertonic saline solution at 2 mL/kg was carried out and completed in 15 minutes. For patients in group B, the same amount of saline solution was infused. We recorded OI, RI and Cdyn changes before the infusion (T1), on the completion of the infusion (T2), 30 minutes after the infusion (T3), and 1 hour after the infusion (T4). The changes of vital signs in patients of the two groups were compared. Results OI, RI and Cdyn were not significant different between the two groups at T1 and T2 (Pgt;0.05). Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), SpO2, central venous pressure (CVP), and PetCO2 were not significant different between the two groups at all time points (Pgt;0.05). OI and Cdyn of group A patients were significantly higher than those of group B, while RI was significantly lower at T3 and T4 (Plt;0.05). Cdyn and OI of group A patients at T3 and T4 were significantly higher when compared with T1, and RI was significantly lower (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Hypertonic saline has the lung protection effect in patients with one-lung ventilation by improving OI, RI and Cdyn.
