Brief Summary

This study intends to evaluate the effect of different inhaled oxygen concentrations on the effect of lung recruitment in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. During perioperative mechanical ventilation, higher FiO2 is usually given to prevent the occurrence of hypoxemia, but there are no conclusions about the setting of optimal FiO2 during surgery. Dynamic pulmonary compliance enables real-time monitoring of alveolar changes and is used to assess pulmonary function in intraoperative patients. The value of compliance represents the number of air-containing alveoli; the more alveoli are trapped, the less air-containing tissue there is and the lower the compliance. Lung recruitment, as part of a lung-protective ventilation strategy, is effective in opening alveoli and improving oxygenation. This single-center, randomized controlled trial will explore the optimal inspired oxygen concentration that allows patients to benefit from lung recruitment and the duration of improvement in lung compliance after lung recruitment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Duration of improvement in lung compliance

    Time to return to baseline levels of lung compliance after lung recruitment

    during the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Incidence of hypoxemia during PACU

    From the time of entry to the PACU to the time of exit from the PACU

  • Incidence of pulmonary atelectasis at the end of surgery

    Surgery complete, extubation immediate

  • Incidence of pulmonary complications within 3 days after surgery

    From the end of surgery to 3 days after surgery

Study Arms (4)

A: FiO2 = 30%

EXPERIMENTAL

FiO2 of group A = 30%. If SPO2 \< 94%, improve FiO2; if FiO2≥40%, eliminate the patient.

Behavioral: Fraction of inspiration O2(FiO2)

B: FiO2=40%

EXPERIMENTAL

FiO2=40%

Behavioral: Fraction of inspiration O2(FiO2)

C: FiO2=60%

EXPERIMENTAL

FiO2=60%

Behavioral: Fraction of inspiration O2(FiO2)

D: FiO2=80%

EXPERIMENTAL

FiO2=80%

Behavioral: Fraction of inspiration O2(FiO2)

Interventions

After the patient was admitted to the room, anesthesia induction was performed after pre-oxygenation for 3 minutes. Tracheal intubation was carried out once the medication had fully taken effect. After the surgery began, the inspired oxygen concentration was adjusted for each group. The first lung recruitment maneuver was performed 10 minutes later, and subsequent lung recruitment maneuvers were conducted when pulmonary compliance returned to baseline levels. This process was repeated, with all patients undergoing one final lung recruitment maneuver immediately at the end of the surgery.

A: FiO2 = 30%B: FiO2=40%C: FiO2=60%D: FiO2=80%
