Evaluation of the Effect of Novel Recruitment Maneuver Therapy for Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectasis

December 1, 2024 updated by: Jilai Xiao

Evaluation of the Effect of Novel Recruitment Maneuver Therapy for Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectasis in the Patients With Cardiac Surgery

  1. Oxygenation index and bedside ultrasound would be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of novel recruitment maneuver therapy in the patients with pulmonary atelectasis after cardiac surgery.
  2. To establish a new therapy strategy for pulmonary atelectasis after cardiac surgery and to evaluate its effectiveness and safety for the cardiac patients complicated with postoperative pulmonary atelectasis.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: NEXAP group
The ventilator mode was changed from SIMV to PSV before LRM. After that, the abdominal pressure cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR-LW100) instrument was adopted and adsorbed on the epigastrium of patients. The LRM was performed by pulling up (tension of 20-30 kg) and compressing downward (tension<10 kg) alternately on the abdomen of the patients with a frequency of 12 times per minute to support and maintain breathing. The whole LRM procedure lasted for 3 minutes in total . After LRM, the ventilator mode was changed to its baseline settings.

Active Comparator: PEEP group
The ventilator mode was changed from SIMV to PSV before LRM. After that, PEEP was increased gradually (every 3-5cmH2O per 30s) from baseline (5-8 cmH2O) to 20cmH2O. The PEEP level was maintained at 20cmH2O for 60s, followed by decrements to baseline PEEP (every 3-5cmH2O per 30s). After LRM, the ventilator was changed to the baseline settings.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lung ultrasound score (LUSS)
Time Frame: 5 min before treatment and 5 min after treatment
The thorax was divided by the anterior axillary line, the posterior axillary line, and a horizontal line beneath the nipple. The intercostal spaces of each of the 12 areas were scanned and analyzed . Aeration loss was assessed by calculating the modified lung ultrasound score (LUSS), which showed sufficient sensitivity to detect aeration loss. Two lung ultrasound examiners provided scores for each area after simultaneous examination of the lung scan. LUSS was then calculated globally (LUSStot, as the sum of the 12 regions score, ranging from 0 to 36), and regionally (LUSSp, posterior, LUSSa, anterior and LUSSl, lateral regions).
5 min before treatment and 5 min after treatment
