Cardiopulmonary Changes Prolonged Surgical Abdominal Retractors Application in Supine Versus Lateral Position

Introduction: Dynamic and static compliance should be calculated as a routine part of ventilator monitoring. Dynamic and static compliance are 60-100 mL/cm H2O. A decrease in dynamic compliance without a change in the static compliance suggests an acute increase in airway resistance and can be assessed further by comparing peak pressure and plateau pressure. The normal gradient is approximately 10 cm H2O. A gradient >10 cm H2O may be secondary to endotracheal tube obstruction, mucous plugging, or bronchospasm. If volume is constant, acute changes in both dynamic and static compliance suggest a decrease in respiratory system compliance that may be caused by worsening increasing abdominal pressures. When static compliance is <25 mL/cm H2O, ventilator weaning may be difficult secondary to tachypnea during spontaneous breathing trials. (1) Aim of the work: to detect the cardiopulmonary burden of surgical ring retractors application during abdominal surgeries in supine versus lateral position (cancer bladder for supine position and open surgical nephrectomy for lateral position). Hypothesis: Abdominal retractors application would produce more cardiopulmonary instability during lateral position than during supine position for abdominal surgery. Patient & Methods: This comparative prospective randomized study, will be done on ASA I-II patients, both sexes, Age 18 - 65 year, to compare pulmonary compliance and cardiac performance before, during and after surgical self-retaining abdominal retractors application patients will be divided into 2 groups; 1st group (S) will undergo orthotropic cancer bladder diversion and the 2nd group (L) both supine and lateral position for open surgical nephrectomy for lateral position. Study will be done at Mansoura University Hospital, during the year 2018, for 4 month duration, starting predected date=1-11-2018 actual study start date=15-12-2018[ NB. by mistake in the 1st registration i have regestered the study protocol predicted time of study start but actually the study started on 15-12-2018 thats why i changed the date more than one time ] till 30-3-2019 after approval of IRB (Institutional Review Board), Mansoura Faculty of Medicine. Primary outcome; composite 1ry outcome [1-Dynamic pulmonary compliance.2- Cardiac Index] during and after surgical retractor application compared to the same variables reading prior retractor application and in between both groups. Secondary outcome: Static lung compliance, Cardiac output, Stroke volume SV - stroke volume variability (SVV)-Cardiac performance index CPI, O2 delivery DIO2. Noninvasive Intraoperative hemodynamic (MBP, HR, O2 saturation)] during and after surgical ring retractor application compared to the same variable reading prior retractor application and in between both groups.
