Brief Summary

The prevalence of obese patients in a great number of patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia has been on the increase. Recent studies suggest an intraoperative protective mechanical ventilation for the obese. Surgical procedures in the oral cavity increase the risk of perioperative complications of obese patients. By making this randomized clinical study, investigators want to determine whether the protective intraoperative ventilation with the use of higher positive end-expiratory pressure and recruitment maneuvers compared to ventilation with low positive end-expiratory pressure and without recruitments cause better postoperative respiratory function parameters of obese patients during oral surgical procedures. Investigators also aim to establish the fact which value of a positive end-expiratory pressure has a favorable impact on the respiratory function without negative hemodynamic effect.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • preoperative and postoperative change in arterial blood gas analysis within and between groups of patients

    preoperative blood gas analysis measured an hour before induction and compared with blood gas analysis measured four times in postoperative period, after three different strategies of mechanical ventilation.Blood gas analysis will be compared within a group and between the groups.

    Preoperative parameters were compared with change in early postoperative parameter. Early postoperative measurements were measurements after 15 minutes from the operation, then in the first and third hours, and 24 hours after the operation.

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • change in preoperative and postoperative degree of dyspnoea measured on Visual Analog Scale

    25 perioperative hours.Preoperative degree was measured one hour before the start of the operation. Early postoperative measurements were measured 15 min after the operation started, then in the first, third and 24th hours after surgery

  • The connection between the various risks of difficult intubation and obesity.

    up to 1 day:Visual Scale Cormack- Lehane classification was measured at laryngoscopy for intubation by investigator, all other measurements were measured once at preoperative Anesthetic examination

  • PEEP effects on MAP

    1-2,5 intraoperative hours.Intraoperative measurements were performed 5 min before and 5 min after induction, then every 30 minutes during operation.Change in MAP includes only period from the beginning operation to the end of surgery and extubation.

  • ARM(alveolar recruitment maneuver) effects on MAP

    1-2,5 intraoperative hours.Intraoperative measurements were performed 5 min before and 5 min after induction, then every 30 min during operation, and 5 min after ARM is performed. Change in MAP includes period from the beginning to the end of operation

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental ARM \& Experimental high PEEP: obese patient during oral-surgical procedures under general anesthesia ventilated with PEEP( positive endexpiratory pressure) 7 cm H2O with ARM(alveolar recruitment maneuver) provided every 30 min

Procedure: ARMProcedure: high PEEP

PEEP 10 & ARM

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental ARM \& Experimental high PEEP:obese patient during oral-surgical procedures under general anesthesia ventilated with PEEP( positive endexpiratory pressure) 10 cm H2O with ARM(alveolar recruitment maneuver) provided every 30 min

Procedure: ARMProcedure: high PEEP

Interventions

low PEEPPROCEDURE

The control group consisted of obese patients mechanically ventilated by a standardized volume-controlled breathing mode with low respiratory volume without alveolar recruitment maneuver and using low values of PEEP up to 4 cm H2O.

Also known as: low positive endexpiratory pressure
PEEP 4
ARMPROCEDURE

The experimental groups also consisted of obese patients mechanically ventilated by a volume-controlled breathing mode with low respiratory volume 7 ml/kg ideal body mass, but with alveolar recruitment maneuver performed immediately after induction, followed every 30 minutes during the hemodynamic stable condition under operation.

Also known as: alveolar recruitment maneuver
PEEP 10 & ARMPEEP 7 & ARM
high PEEPPROCEDURE

The experimental groups also consisted of obese patients mechanically ventilated by a volume-controlled breathing mode with low respiratory volume 7 ml/kg ideal body mass, but with higher PEEP, provided that the upper limit of 40 cm H20 was not exceeded.

Also known as: high positive endexpiratory pressure
