NCT02986269

Brief Summary

General anesthesia has been demonstrated to have a negative impact on lung function. Both surgery and patient position influence the perioperative lung function. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been proved to be safe and efficient to maintain the airways patent during general anesthesia. Pressure support ventilation (PSV) with LMA is routinely used in clinical practice. The aim of the present trial is to characterize perioperative changes in lung volume, ventilation inhomogeneity and respiratory mechanics in patients in the lithotomy position and spontaneously breathing through LMA with and without PSV.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Perioperative changes in ventilation inhomogeneity (LCI)

    LCI will be derived from the nitrogen multiple breath washout technique that will be applied before and after general anesthesia for gynecology in the lithotomy position with patients breathing spontaneously through a LMA with and without pressure support.

    Through study completion, an average of 12 hours

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Alterations in end expiratory lung volume in ml/kg (EELV)

    Through study completion, an average of 12 hours

  • Changes in respiratory system compliance (Crs)

    Through study completion, an average of 12 hours

  • Changes in airway resistance (Raw)

    Through study completion, an average of 12 hours

  • Perioperative respiratory complications

    Through study completion, an average of 12 hours
