NCT06764745

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to understand the effect of different ventilation patterns during surgery on postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly patients with abdominal wall hernias. It will also explore how to reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive impairment. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does the mode of ventilation affect the incidence of postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly patients?
  • Does optic nerve sheath edema affect the incidence of postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly patients? Researchers will monitor patients with different ventilation patterns intraoperatively and investigate postoperatively to see if the ventilation pattern affects postoperative cognitive impairment. Participants will:
  • Randomly assigned to groups with different ventilation patterns
  • Record various values during surgery by the researchers
  • Presence of cognitive impairment assessed by cognitive scales after surgery

    From enrollment to two weeks after surgical treatment

  • optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD)

    The ONSD was assessed using ocular ultrasonography to non-invasively capture ICP. Bedside ultrasound measurements of the ONSD were performed by an experienced and professionally qualified ultrasound physician. Patients were positioned supine with their eyes softly closed, and their eyes were protected with disposable transparent patches. A 7.5 MHz linear probe (Micromaxx Ultrasound System; SonoSite Inc., Bothell, WA, USA) was gently placed on the closed upper eyelid without applying pressure to the eyeball, and sufficient ultrasound gel was applied to ensure clear imaging. The optic nerve sheath was checked and measured 3 mm beyond the globe, and three ONSD measures were performed, with the average value utilized as the final ONSD measurement, which was accurate to 0.01 mm.

    From induction of anesthesia to the end of surgery

  • average airway pressure( PAWM)

    Mean airway pressure affects the patient's alveolar oxygenation status and blood circulation. Mean airway pressure is most affected by positive end-expiratory pressure, followed by prolongation of inspiratory time, which can also increase mean airway pressure.

    From induction of anesthesia to the end of surgery

  • esophagealp ressure(PES)

    Esophageal pressure monitoring is a minimally invasive and clinically available method for estimating transpulmonary pressure, of which absolute values and changes are considered one of the main determinants of lung injury due to mechanical forces applied during mechanical ventilation . PES was monitored using a floating catheter (Swan-Ganz, USA) placed into the esophagus and coupled to a monitor (M8003A, Germany).

    From induction of anesthesia to the end of surgery

  • PaCO2(mmHg)

    Arterial reference value: 35-45 mmHg, exceeding or falling below the reference value is called hyper- or hypocapnia. Exceeding 55mmHg may inhibit the respiratory center. It is the main index to determine the acid-base poisoning of each type.

    From induction of anesthesia to the end of surgery

  • mean arterial pressure(MAP)

    Above 60 mmHg is sufficient to provide organ sustenance in the general population.calculated as MAP = diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure difference.

    From induction of anesthesia to the end of surgery

  • heart rate(HR)

    Normal values for heart rate are 60-100 beats per minute.

Interventions

Following induction, Group I patients received mechanical ventilation using the PC mode. The anesthetic machine (MAQUET Flow-I, Italy) parameters were set as follows: The inspiratory pressure (Pins) was adjusted to maintain an end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration (ETCO2) of 4.0-5.0 kPa. Pure oxygen and air were utilized at 0.3 L/min each, with an oxygen content of 41%. The positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) was set at 10 cmH2O, with an inspiration-to-expiration ratio of 1:2, a respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute, and an oxygen content of 41%.
