Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Background: Anesthesia per se and pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery lead to atelectasis and impairment of oxygenation. We hypothesized that a ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during general anesthesia and laparoscopic surgery leads to a more homogeneous ventilation distribution as determined by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Furthermore, we supposed that PEEP ventilation in lung-healthy patients would improve the parameters of oxygenation and respiratory compliance. Methods: Thirty-two patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to be ventilated with ZEEP (0 cmH(2) O) or with PEEP (10 cmH(2) O) and a subsequent recruitment maneuver. Differences in regional ventilation were analyzed by the EIT-based center-of-ventilation index (COV), which quantifies the distribution of ventilation and indicates ventilation shifts. Results: Higher amount of ventilation was examined in the dorsal parts of the lungs in the PEEP group. Throughout the application of PEEP, a lower shift of ventilation was found, whereas after the induction of anesthesia, a remarkable ventral shift of ventilation in ZEEP-ventilated patients (COV: ZEEP, 40.6 ± 2.4%; PEEP, 46.5 ± 3.5%; P<0.001) was observed. Compared with the PEEP group, ZEEP caused a ventral misalignment of ventilation during pneumoperitoneum (COV: ZEEP, 41.6 ± 2.4%; PEEP, 44 ± 2.7%; P=0.013). Throughout the study, there were significant differences in the parameters of oxygenation and respiratory compliance with improved values in PEEP-ventilated patients. Conclusion: The effect of anesthesia, pneumoperitoneum, and different PEEP levels can be evaluated by EIT-based COV monitoring. An initial recruitment maneuver and a PEEP of 10 cmH(2) O preserved homogeneous regional ventilation during laparoscopic surgery in most, but not all, patients and improved oxygenation and respiratory compliance.
