Lung ultrasound score evaluation of the effect of pressure-controlled ventilation volume-guaranteed on patients undergoing laparoscopicassisted radical gastrectomy

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic-assisted radical gastrectomy(LARG)is the standard treatment for early-stage gastric carcinoma(GC).However,the negative impact of this proce-dure on respiratory function requires the optimized intraoperative management of patients in terms of ventilation.AIM To investigate the influence of pressure-controlled ventilation volume-guaranteed(PCV-VG)and volume-controlled ventilation(VCV)on blood gas analysis and pulmonary ventilation in patients undergoing LARG for GC based on the lung ultrasound score(LUS).METHODS The study included 103 patients with GC undergoing LARG from May 2020 to May 2023,with 52 cases undergoing PCV-VG(research group)and 51 cases undergoing VCV(control group).LUS were recorded at the time of entering the operating room(T0),20 minutes after anesthesia with endotracheal intubation(T1),30 minutes after artificial pneumoperitoneum(PP)establishment(T2),and 15 minutes after endotracheal tube removal(T5).For blood gas analysis,arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO_(2))and partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO_(2))were observed.Peak airway pressure(P_(peak)),plateau pressure(Pplat),mean airway pressure(P_(mean)),and dynamic pulmonary compliance(C_(dyn))were recorded at T1 and T2,1 hour after PP establishment(T3),and at the end of the operation(T4).Postoperative pulmonary complications(PPCs)were recorded.Pre-and postoperative serum interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTS Compared with those at T0,the whole,anterior,lateral,posterior,upper,lower,left,and right lung LUS of the research group were significantly reduced at T1,T2,and T5;in the control group,the LUS of the whole and partial lung regions(posterior,lower,and right lung)decreased significantly at T2,while at T5,the LUS of the whole and some regions(lateral,lower,and left lung)increased significantly.In comparison with the control group,the whole and regional LUS of the research group were reduced at T1,T2,and T5,with an increase in PaO_(2),decrease in PaCO_(2),reduction in P_(peak) at T1 to T4,increase in P_(mean) and C_(dyn),and decrease in Pplat at T4,all significant.The research group showed a significantly lower incidence of PPCs than the control group within 3 days postoperatively.Postoperative IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-αsignificantly increased in both groups,with even higher levels in the control group.CONCLUSION LUS can indicate intraoperative non-uniformity and postural changes in pulmonary ventilation under PCV-VG and VCV.Under the lung protective ventilation strategy,the PCV-VG mode more significantly improved intraop-erative lung ventilation in patients undergoing LARG for GC and reduced lung injury-related cytokine production,thereby alleviating lung injury.

Effect of Pressure-Controlled Inverse Ratio Ventilation on WBC,PCT and CRP in Rats Undergoing Radical Gastrectomy and Related Mechanism

Objective:To explore the effect of pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation on partial pressure of oxygen(PaO_(2)),partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaC O2),dynamic lung compliance(Cdyn),white blood cell(WBC),procalcitonin(PCT),C-reactive protein(CRP),and other indicators.Methods:A total of 100 healthy Wistar rats,aged 6-8 weeks and weighing 300-356 g,were used to establish gastric cancer models with 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG).60 gastric cancer rats were randomly divided into three groups and treated with laparoscopic radical gastrectomy after anesthesia.Rats in the VCV group were given volume control ventilation,rats in the PCV group were given pressure control ventilation,and rats in the PC-IRV group were given pressure control inverse ratio ventilation.The levels of WBC,PCT and CRP in the three groups were observed and compared on the 1st,3rd and 5th day after operation.Results:There were significant differences in PaO_(2)levels at 15 min after ventilation mode change and at the time of pneumoperitoneum closure,and in PaCO_(2)and Cdyn levels at 10 min after induction and at 15 min after ventilation mode change among the three groups(P<0.05).The PaO_(2)levels in PC-IRV group were higher than those in VCV group and PCV group at 15 min after the ventilation mode was changed and at the time of closing the pneumoperitoneum.The level of PaCO_(2)in PC-IRV group was lower than that in VCV group and PCV group 10 min after induction and 15 min after ventilation mode change,and the level of PaCO_(2)in PC-IRV group was lower than that in VCV group when pneumoperitoneum was turned off.The level of Cdyn in PC-IRV group was higher than that in VCV group and PCV group at 10 min after induction and 15 min after ventilation mode change.The level of Cdyn in PC-IRV group was higher than that in PCV group at the time of closing pneumoperitoneum.The Cdyn level in PCV group was lower than that in VCV group at 15 min after ventilation mode change.There were significant differences in WBC levels among the three groups on the 1st day after operation(P<0.05),and there were no significant differences in PCT and CRP levels among the three groups on the 1st day after operation(P>0.05).There were significant differences in WBC,PCT and CRP levels in the three groups of rats on the 3rd and 5th days after surgery(P<0.05).Except for PCT and CRP on the 1st day after operation,the WBC on the 1st,3rd and 5th days after operation,PCT and CRP on the 3rd and 5th days after operation in PCV group and PC-IRV group were lower than those in VCV group(P<0.05).Except for WBC,PCT and CRP on 1st day after operation,the levels of WBC,PCT and CRP on the 3rd and 5th days after operation in PC-IRV group were lower than those in PCV group(P<0.05).Conclusion:During laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer,pressure-controlled inverse ratio ventilation can help rats maintain good respiratory status and lung compliance during the operation,which can effectively alleviate the postoperative inflammatory response.

Comparative study of pressure-control ventilation and volume-control ventilation in treating traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effect and side effect of pressure-control ventilation (PCV) on traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) compared with volume-control ventilation (VCV). Methods: Forty patients with traumatic ARDS were hospitalized in our department from June 1996 to December 2002. Twenty were treated with PCV (PCV group) and 20 with VCV (VCV group). The changes of the peak inflating pressure and the mean pressure of the airway were observed at the very beginning of the mechanical ventilation and the following 12 and 24 hours, respectively. The transcutaneous saturation of oxygen pressure, the pressure of oxygen in artery, the mean blood pressure, the central venous pressure, the heart rate and the incidence of the pressure injury were also monitored before ventilation and 12 hours after ventilation. Results: The pressure of oxygen in artery, the transcutaneous saturation of oxygen pressure, the heart rate and the respiratory rate in the PCV group were obviously improved after ventilation treatment. The peak inflating pressure, the mean pressure of the airway and the central venous pressure in the PCV group were lower than in the VCV group. The incidence of pressure injury was 0 in the PCV group while 10% in the VCV group. Conclusions: The clinical effect of PCV on traumatic ARDS is better and the incidence rate of pressure injury is lower than that of VCV. PCV has minimal effects on the hemodynamics.

Objective:To study the intraoperative oxygenation function and trauma degree of pressure-controlled ventilation-volume guaranteed (PCV-VG) and volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) mode for elderly patients with laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Methods:60 elderly patients with laparoscopic abdominal surgery were selected for study and randomly divided into two groups (n=30), group A received ventilation in accordance with sequential VCV-PCV-VG mode, group B received ventilation in accordance with the sequential PCV-VG-VCV mode, and the respiratory function parameters and arterial blood gas parameters and serum damage indexes were determined before the start of pneumoperitoneum (T0), 1 h after the start of the first ventilation mode after the start of pneumoperitoneum (T1), 1 h after the switch of ventilation mode (T2) and after the end of pneumoperitoneum (T3). Results:At T1, Ppeak, mean airway pressure (Pmean) and plateau airway pressure (Pplant) of group A were significantly higher than those of group B (P<0.05), partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was significantly lower than that of group B (P<0.05), and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were not significantly different from those of group B;at T2 and T3, Ppeak, Pmean and Pplant of group A were significantly lower than those of group B (P<0.05), PaO2 were significantly lower than those of group B (P<0.05), and SpO2 and PaCO2 were not significantly different from those of group B. At T1, serum soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-product (sRAGE), KL-6 (krebs. von den Iungen-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of group A were significantly higher than those of group B (P<0.05);at T3, serum sRAGE, KL-6, TNF-αand MDA content of group A were significantly lower than those of group B (P<0.05). Conclusions:PCV-VG mode for elderly patients with laparoscopic abdominal surgery can reduce airway pressure, improve lung compliance and alveolar oxidation, and reduce lung injury and systemic trauma.
