- Brief Summary
Demonstrate the ability of the RQ, measured indirectly from the anesthesia ventilator, to predict the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in patients operated of major non-cardiac surgical operation in the operating room
- Detailed Description
Indirect respiratory quotient (RQ) measurement involves indirect calorimetry, which measures O2 and CO2 inspired and expired fractions. This measurement is usually used to estimate energy expenditure and which energetic substrate is preferentially used in resuscitation patients. Litterature demonstrated in a mouse model that the formation of hemorrhagic shock was associated with a change in RQ due to VCO2 and VO2 imbalance. RQ was able to distinguish anaerobic metabolism and corrected itself with correction of shock. Recently in Litterature showed a link between lactate production, cardiac output and the evolution of the RQ measured by indirect calorimetry in a resuscitation patient. Also, these authors raise the question of a possible use of the RQ in intensive care as an early non-invasive marker of anaerobic metabolism that can replace the invasive ones usually used (arterial lactate, venoarterial PCO2 gradient, venoarterial PCO2 gradient/ arteriovenous O2 content difference, ScVO2). However, the measurement of inspired and expired fractions in O2 and CO2 is part of the systematic monitoring of the intubated-ventilated patient in the operating room. The measurement of the VO2, VCO2 and the RQ could therefore be done from these fractions inspired and expired in O2 and CO2 by the following equation:
RQ = (FeCO2-FiCO2) / (FiO2-FeO2) The main objective of our work is to demonstrate the ability of the RQ, measured indirectly from the anesthesia ventilator, to predict the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in patients operated of major non-cardiac surgical operation in the operating room. Secondly, the objective is to evaluate the association between the variations of the RQ, EtCO2, Dc, ScVO2, venoarterial PCO2 gradient, venoarterial PCO2 gradient/arteriovenous O2 content difference and lactate levels at different times during the surgical procedure and depending on the occurrence of postoperative complications.
