Registration Number

Brief Summary

Laparoscopic surgeries may cause atelectasis on the lungs which may stay clinically occult after the surgery. Lung Ultrasound Scoring (LUS) can provide an objective measuring system to understand the condition of the lungs in the perioperative period. In this randomized controlled study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of one single recruitment maneuver (RM) just before emergence and extubation (at the end of surgery) on LUS scores and postoperative recovery room oxygenation in laparoscopic nephrectomy surgeries. Accordingly, the intervention group will be applied single RM before extubation, while the control group will be awaken without RM.

There will be LUS evaluation at 4 different time for intervention group (Group RM) points that are:

T1: 5 min after the intubation T2: At the end of surgery (After skin closure, before recruitment maneuver) T3(RM): After recruitment maneuver, before extubation T4: 30 minutes after extubation in the recovery room

LUS evaluation will be made at 3 different time points in control group (Group NoRM):

T1: 5 min after the intubation T3(NoRM): Before extubation (no recruitment maneuvers will be made) T4: 30 minutes after extubation in the recovery room.

The primary outcome is the comparison of the T3 LUS scores. Assuming a 40% difference in the T3 LUS score, total number of 30 patients were calculated to be included in the study with an alpha value of 0.05 and 95% power. A possible drop-out of 5 patients per group, 20 patients were planned to be enrolled in each group.

Secondary outcomes will include; difference in T4 LUS scores, the effect of RM on postoperative recovery room oxygenation, and the effect of deltaLUS (T3-T2) on postoperative recovery room oxygenation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of the pre-extubation LUS scores (T3)Up to 4 hours

Lung ultrasound will be applied in each group to observe the lungs' condition (atelectasis,consolidation...) and understand the effect of a "single" recruitment maneuver. To obtain LUS score; each lobe is examined on 6 different areas which will be scored from 0 to 3, and both lungs will be evaluated. Therefore maximum score may change from 0 (no atelectasis, best condition) to 36 (worst condition, broad atelectasis and consolidation).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The effect of deltaLUS (T3-T2) on oxygenationUp to 4.5 hours

DeltaLUS values will be analyzed for relation with post-extubation 30th min PaO2 values.

Length of stay in post anesthesia care unit (PACU)Up to 4 hours

The duration required for the patient to stay in PACU (minutes)

Length of stay in hospitalUp to 2 weeks

The duration required for patient to stay in hospital (days)

Predictive value of dependant lung T3 (preextubation) LUS score detecting postoperative pulmonary complicationsUp to 24 hours

Sensitivity and specifity (Area under the curve-ROC analysis) values of LUS score of dependant lung. (0=the best condition of the dependant lung, 18=the worst condition of the dependant lung with consolidation and atelectasis)

Comparison of recovery room PaO2Up to 4.5 hours

Arterial blood gas will be analyzed at post-extubation 30th minute along with LUS to observe the effect of RM on oxygenation

Postoperative respiratory complicationsUp to 5 days

Incidence of mild-to-severe respiratory failure, pneumothorax, ALI, ARDS, bronchospasm, pneumonia

Comparison of recovery room LUS scores (T4)Up to 4.5 hours

Lung ultrasound will be applied at post-extubation 30th minute to evaluate the compare the groups for the possible effect of single RM. To obtain LUS score; each lobe is examined on 6 different areas which are scored from 0 to 3, and both lungs will be evaluated. Therefore maximum score may change from 0 (no atelectasis, best condition) to 36 (worst condition, broad atelectasis and consolidation).
