ABSTRACT: Background
Although the intraoperative alveolar recruitment maneuver (RM) efficiently treats atelectasis, the effect of FIO2 on atelectasis during RM is uncertain. We hypothesized that a high FIO2 (1.0) during RM would lead to a higher degree of postoperative atelectasis without benefiting oxygenation when compared to low FIO2 (0.4).Methods
In this randomized controlled trial, patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position were allocated to low- (FIO2 0.4, n = 44) and high-FIO2 (FIO2 1.0, n = 46) groups. RM was performed 1-min post tracheal intubation and post changes in supine and Trendelenburg positions during surgery. We set the intraoperative FIO2 at 0.4 for both groups and calculated the modified lung ultrasound score (LUSS) to assess lung aeration after anesthesia induction and at surgery completion. The primary outcome was modified LUSS at the end of the surgery. The secondary outcomes were the intra- and postoperative PaO2 to FIO2 ratio and postoperative pulmonary complications.Results
The modified LUSS before capnoperitoneum and RM (P = 0.747) were similar in both groups. However, the postoperative modified LUSS was significantly lower in the low FIO2 group (median difference 5.0, 95% CI 3.0-7.0, P < 0.001). Postoperatively, substantial atelectasis was more common in the high-FIO2 group (relative risk 1.77, 95% CI 1.27-2.47, P < 0.001). Intra- and postoperative PaO2 to FIO2 were similar with no postoperative pulmonary complications. Atelectasis occurred more frequently when RM was performed with high than with low FIO2; oxygenation was not benefitted by a high-FIO2. CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position, absorption atelectasis occurred more frequently with high rather than low FIO2. No oxygenation benefit was observed in the high-FIO2 group.Trial registration
