Brief Summary

Patients submitted to general anesthesia and artificial ventilation almost always develop pulmonary atelectasis, which can determine adverse consequences both intraoperatively and postoperatively. It is recommended to use physiological tidal volume (6 - 8 mL / kg of ideal body weight) during the intraoperative period in order to minimize the risk of lung injury. To prevent the formation of atelectasis, minimizing the risk of complications, the use of PEEP has been recommended. At present, there is no way to make an optimal adjustment of PEEP to the needs of each patient, seeking a value that keeps the alveoli open without forming atelectasis and also without areas of hyperdistension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement between the ultrasound and the electrical impedance tomography - Timpel® (TIE) to detect the beginning of the formation of areas of atelectasis after pulmonary recruitment, with decreasing PEEP values. In addition, the lung ultrasound will be validated for intraoperative use for both adequacy of PEEP, as well as quantitative analyzes of ultrasound images to assess atelectasis. 18 patients (\> 18 years) of both sexes, submitted to general anesthesia, will be prospectively studied. All patients will receive, in addition to the usual monitoring, the monitoring with the electrical impedance tomography and chest ultrasonography, after being anesthetized and under neuromuscular block, being ventilated with an inspired fraction of 50% oxygen (or greater to maintain oxygen saturation \> 96% ), Tidal volume of 6 mL / kg and respiratory rate to maintain expiratory tidal CO2 between 35-45 cmH2O.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Hyperdistension

    We acquire lung ultrasound images during tritiating peep and analyze if any patient have hyperdistension

    during tritiate peep

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Atelectasis

    in the final of the procedure

Study Arms (2)

PEEP 4

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

We titrate peep, using tomography impedance, making ultrasound after "level by level' of peep. After titrated peep we setup peep 4 and maintained during the procedure. * PEEP 4 cmH2O * Use ultrasound

Procedure: PEEP TITRATEDDevice: Use ultrasoundDevice: Impedance tomographyOther: PEEP 4

PEEP TITRATED

EXPERIMENTAL

We titrate peep, using tomography impedance, making ultrasound after "level by level' of peep. After tritiated peep we setup the best peep for less collapse (using the tomography of electrical impedance) and maintained during the procedure. * PEEP titrated * Use ultrasound * Impedance tomography * Best PEEP for less collapse

Procedure: PEEP TITRATEDDevice: Use ultrasoundDevice: Impedance tomographyOther: Best PEEP for less collapse

Interventions

PEEP TITRATEDPROCEDURE

After titrated peep levels, we choice this level of peep for de group (peep titrated)

PEEP 4PEEP TITRATED

We make a lung ultrasound after we setup a different level of PEEP

PEEP 4PEEP TITRATED

We use the impedance tomography to titrate peep levels, and acquire dates of collapse, hyperdistension and compliance.

PEEP 4PEEP TITRATED

After titrated PEEP levels we setup the best PEEP the according of tomography impedance

PEEP TITRATED
PEEP 4OTHER

We set the peep level after titrated peep = 4 cmH20.

Eligibility Criteria

Age30 Years - 60 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Participants will be male and female patients, over 18 years of age, who undergo abdominal surgeries (prostatectomies and hysterectomies) and who do not have preexisting pulmonary diseases. They will be approached in the room prior to surgery, at which time the purpose of the research will be explained, besides making clear that it will not entail costs and so little any injury, scar, or damage. If accepted by the patient, the consent form will be applied.
