Echocardiographic Evaluation of the Change on Pulmonary Blood Flow and Cardiac Function Induced by Capnothorax During One Lung Ventilation

April 16, 2015 updated by: Yonsei University
Video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (VATET) is a minimally-invasive method for excision of mediastinal mass instead of open thymectomy. The iatrogenic capnothorax with one-lung ventilation during VATET may cause hemodynamic instability due to the compression of intrathoracic structures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of capnothorax on the pulmonary blood flow and cardiac function during the VATET by using the transesophageal echocardiography.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: capnothorax group
After patient positioning, the capnothorax will be created by insufflation of carbon dioxide in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy.
Procedure: capnothorax
After patient positioning, the capnothorax will be created by insufflation of carbon dioxide in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy.
Other Names:
  • VATET, capnothorax, TEE

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The changes of the echocardiographic indices
Time Frame: four time points during the operation. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation
pulmonary blood flow = PVA(cross sectional area of LUPV) x VTI(velocity time integral) x HR , Fractional area change = [(LVAd-LVAs)/LVAd] × 100 Ejection fraction = [(LVEDV(LV end-diastolic volume) -LVESV(LV end-systolic volume)/LVEDV] × 100
four time points during the operation. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The changes of the oxygenation and respiratory dynamic parameters
Time Frame: four time points during the operation, an expected average of 3 hours. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation
shunt fraction Qs/Qt = (CcO2- CaO2)/(CcO2- CvO2) CcO2 = Hgb x 1.34 x ScO2 + PcO2 x 0.003, lung compliance : Compliance= Vt / Pplat, physiologic dead space : Vd/Vt = 1.14 x (PaCO2 - PETCO2)/PaCO2- 0.005
four time points during the operation, an expected average of 3 hours. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation
