Spontaneous ventilation versus mechanical ventilation during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for spontaneous pneumothorax: a study protocol for multicenter randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the evolution and adoption of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), options for anesthesia control have also seen major developments. Intubated anesthesia with single lung mechanical ventilation VATS (MV-VATS) is considered the standard of care in VATS. However, this type of ventilation strategy has been associated with several adverse effects, which can trigger complications and increase the overall surgical risk. In order to avoid intubated anesthesia related adverse effects, non-intubated spontaneous ventilation VATS (SV-VATS) strategies have been proposed in recent years and widely applied.

Methods

We established a two-arm parallel multicenter randomized controlled trial for comparative analysis of the outcomes of patients undergoing either SV-VATS
