NCT01762709

Brief Summary

The use of low tidal volume (TV) during one lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracic surgery decreases the incidence of postoperative acute lung injury (ALI). We postulated that the use of low TV during OLV for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) would decrease the extravascular lung water content index (EVLWI). After local ethics committee approval and informed consent, we will randomly allocate 60 patients scheduled for elective VATS to ventilate the dependent lung with VT of 4, 6, or 8 mL/kg (n= 20 for each), I: E ratio 1: 2.5, PEEP of 5 cm H2O, recruitment maneuvers and respiratory rate will be adjusted to maintain normocapnia. Perioperative changes in EVLWI, hemodynamics, oxygenation index will be recorded. Also, the incidence of postoperative ALI, morbidity, hospitalization and mortality will be recorded

Study Arms (3)

The VT 4 ml/kg group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Use of tidal volume of 4 ml/kg during one lung ventilation

Procedure: The VT 4 ml/kg group

The VT 6 ml/kg group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Use of tidal volume of 6 ml/kg during one lung ventilation

Procedure: The VT 6 ml/kg group

The VT 8 ml/kg group

EXPERIMENTAL

Use of tidal volume of 8 ml/kg during one lung ventilation

Procedure: The VT 8 ml/kg group

Interventions

the dependent lung will be ventilated with a TV of 4 mL/kg (predicted body weight), respectively, whereas FiO2, I: E ratio, PEEP, frequency, Ppk, and a FGF will be maintained as during two-lung ventilation (TLV) and the lumen of the nondependent lung will be left open to air. Dependent lung recruitment maneuvers will be repeated at 30-minute intervals by raising the inspiratory pressure up to 35 cmH2O for 10 seconds.

The VT 4 ml/kg group

the dependent lung will be ventilated with a TV of 6 mL/kg (predicted body weight), respectively, whereas FiO2, I: E ratio, PEEP, frequency, Ppk, and a FGF will be maintained as during two-lung ventilation (TLV) and the lumen of the nondependent lung will be left open to air. Dependent lung recruitment maneuvers will be repeated at 30-minute intervals by raising the inspiratory pressure up to 35 cmH2O for 10 seconds.

The VT 6 ml/kg group

the dependent lung will be ventilated with a TV of 8 mL/kg (predicted body weight), respectively, whereas FiO2, I: E ratio, PEEP, frequency, Ppk, and a FGF will be maintained as during two-lung ventilation (TLV) and the lumen of the nondependent lung will be left open to air. Dependent lung recruitment maneuvers will be repeated at 30-minute intervals by raising the inspiratory pressure up to 35 cmH2O for 10 seconds.
