Lung-protective Ventilation During Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy (LPV-RARC)

Effect of Lung-protective Ventilation During Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy on Postoperative Pulmonary Complication

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) increases the incidence of postoperative complications. We conducted a study to determine the effect of lung-protective ventilation strategy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) performed with patient in the steep Trendelenburg position under pneumoperitoneum increases the incidence of postoperative complications. Approach termed lung-protective ventilation (LPV) strategy which refers to the use of low tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may lead to a reduction in inflammation and prevent the occurrence of atelectasis. Computed tomography (CT) requiring transportation is the golden standard for measuring atelectasis, which is not suitable for perioperative observation. Lung ultrasound (LUS) which is noninvasive and easily repeatable at the bedside appears to be an accurate diagnostic tool for early detection of atelectasis. Thus, we conducted the trial to determine whether an LPV strategy has benefits in patients scheduled for RARC through a multifaceted method. We hypothesized that the use of prophylactic low tidal volume and PEEP would decrease postoperative inflammation and atelectasis, thereby, improve outcomes, as compared with the standard of nonprotective mechanical ventilation.
