Permissive Hypercapnia During One Lung Ventilation: Impact on Right Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Functions During Lung Resection

August 6, 2015 updated by: Hisham Hosny, Cairo University

Acute Permissive Hypercapnia During One Lung Ventilation: Impact on Right Ventricular Systolic and Diastolic Functions During Lung Resection

Investigators studied 15 patients scheduled for pulmonary resection through thoracotomy. Initial tidal volume (VT) 10ml kg-1 was reduced to 8ml kg-1 after one lung ventilation (OLV) and the rate adjusted to maintain partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 30-35 mm Hg. Data were obtained at: T1, 15 min post establishing OLV with normocapnia, T2, 15 min post establishing OLV with hypercapnia (PaCO2 7.98kPa (60mmHg) and 9.31kPa (70mmHg) and pH >7.1), and T3, 15 min after resuming OLV with normocapnia. One-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), with post hoc Dunnet´s test were used for analysis. A P value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

Detailed Description

Investigators studied 15 patients scheduled for elective pulmonary resection through thoracotomy. Patients had a standardized management for thoracotomies. Initial VT 10ml/ kg was reduced to 8ml/kg after OLV and the rate adjusted to maintain PaCO2 30-35 mm Hg. Haemodynamic, respiratory variables and echocardiographic data (Tei index and TAPSE) were obtained at: T1, 15 min post establishing OLV with normocapnia, T2, 15 min post establishing OLV with hypercapnia (PaCO2 7.98kPa (60mmHg) and 9.31kPa (70mmHg) and pH >7.1), and T3, 15 min after resuming OLV with normocapnia. One-way repeated measures ANOVA, with post hoc Dunnet´s test were used for analysis. A P value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: permissive hypercapnia
during one lung ventilation, right ventricular function was assessed by TEE and the effect of rising PCO2 appreciated
During one lung ventilation, right ventricular function was assessed by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and the effect of increased carbon dioxide pressure was evaluated
