Abstract:

Objective To discuss the impact of respiratory mechanics, intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt), PaO2 and postoperative pulmonary infection during one-lung ventilation (OLV) using small tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) in total pneumonectomy with tuberculous destroyed lung (TDL). Methods TThe present study was approved by the medical ethics committee of Beijing Chest Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University. The study enrolled 48 TDL patients receiving selective thoracotomic total pneumonectomy from August 2016 to March 2018. A random number table was used to divide the patients into observation group and control group, 24 cases in each group. The tidal volume of the observation group was 6 ml/kg during OLV, and PCV was administered immediately from the beginning of OLV followed by PEEP at 7cm H2O (1cm H2O=0.0098kPa). The tidal volume of the control group was 8 ml/kg during OLV. Airway peak pressure (Ppeak) and plateau pressure (Pplat) before OLV (T1), 30 min after OLV (T2) and 5 min after total pneumonectomy (T3) were recorded. Arterial and venous blood samples were collected at T1, T2, T3 and at 6h after surgery (T4), the blood gas indicators pH, PaCO2 and PaO2 were measured, and Qs/Qt ratio was calculated. Clinical pulmonary infection was scored at day 1 and day 7 after surgery. Measurements were compared between the two groups; paired t-test was used for the comparison if there was homogeneity of variance; otherwise, t'-test was used. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was performed for intragroup comparisons. Counting data were analyzed by χ2 test, P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results Compared with the control group, Ppeak (observation group: (21.0±2.2)cm H2O; control group: (22.4±2.2)cm H2O; t=-2.446, P=0.021)and Pplat (observation group: (19.7±2.2)cm H2O; control group: (21.0±2.7)cm H2O; t=-3.610, P=0.001) in the observation group decreased significantly at T2 and the pH value of the observation group at T3 decreased significantly (observation group: 7.34±0.053; control group: 7.37±0.047; t=-3.000, P=0.006). At T2, PaCO2 of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (observation group: (44.0±2.2)mm Hg (1mm Hg=0.133kPa); control group: (35.7±4.0)mm Hg; t=7.091, P=0.000), while Qs/Qt ratio decreased significantly (observation group: (21.4±5.4)%; control group: (25.4±6.8)%; t=-0.256, P=0.020). Compared with the control group at T4, the PaO2/FiO2 ratio of the observation group increased significantly (observation group: (181.2±29.0)mm Hg; control group: (159.1±25.2)mm Hg; t=2.938, P=0.009). At the first day post operation, the pulmonary infection scores of the observation group decreased significantly compared with that of the control group (observation group: 4.7±0.6; control group: 5.2±0.9; t=-2.567, P=0.017).Conclusion Small tidal volume and PEEP with PCV could effectively reduce airway pressure and Qs/Qt ratio during OLV for thoracotomic total pneumonectomy, and improve PaO2 and pulmonary infection scores of TDL patients at the first day postoperative.
