Evaluation of Perioperative Lung Ultrasound Scores (LUS) in Living Donor Nephrectomy Surgeries
- Conditions
- Atelectasis, PostoperativePulmonary Complication
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Lung Ultrasound Score
- Registration Number
- NCT05815888
- Lead Sponsor
- Istanbul University
- Brief Summary
Living donor nephrectomy surgeries can be performed in lateral position with laparoscopic technique which necessitates pneumoperitoneum. Considering the position and the pneumoperitoneum, lungs can be affected macroscopically. In this study, it is aimed to observe whether lungs are affected by the aforementioned entities. The hypothesis is based on possible deterioration of the lungs due to the physical features of laparoscopic nephrectomy. Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS) will be used to evaluate the actual condition of lungs. Accordingly, one hemithorax is consisted of 6 different zones, and depending on the existence of vertical B lines (that refers to atelectasis and consolidation) each zone is scored 0 to 3. Higher scores reflect worse lung conditions that is associated with the severity of atelectasis. The LUS will be performed at three time points that are 5 minutes after intubation (T1), at the end of surgery and before extubation (T2), and at 30th minute in the postanesthesia care unit (T3). Primary outcome will be the difference between T1 and T3, secondary outcomes will include perioperative blood gas analyses, intraoperative mechanic ventilator parameters, intraoperative total amount of fluid given, postoperative pulmonary complications.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The comparison of T1LUS (After intubation lung ultrasound score) T2LUS (Preextubation Lung ultrasound score) Up to 6 hours In order to observe the change in lung ultrasound scores between presurgical and at the end of the surgery, T2LUS (Lung ultrasound score before extubation) and T1LUS (Lung ultrasound score 5 minutes after intubation) will be compared. (A value of 0 points LUS is the best condition of the lung with no consolidation or atelectasis. 36 points refer to worst condition of the lungs with atelectasis in all the zones.)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of Postanesthesia care unit (PACU) Partial arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) and Lung ultrasound score at 30 minutes after extubation Up to 6 hours A blood gas analysis will be obtained in the 30th minute of postanesthesia care, and arterial partial oxygen pressure (mmHg) will be evaluated.
Comparison of Postanesthesia care unit (PACU) Partial arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2) and Lung ultrasound score at 30 minutes after extubation Up to 6 hours A blood gas analysis will be obtained in the 30th minute of postanesthesia care, and arterial partial carbon dioxide pressure (mmHg) will be evaluated.
Postoperative pulmonary complications Up to Postoperative 7 days. Incidence of pulmonary complications such as respiratory failure, aspiration pneumonitis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumothorax, atelectasis, bronchospasm.
Comparison of total given fluid amount (milliliters) and preextubation lung ultrasound score (T2LUS) Up to 6 hours In order to observe the relation between the crystalloid amount given (ml) and its relation to lungs' ultrasonographic condition, intraoperative total fluid amount given will be evaluated.
Comparison of Lung ultrasound scores (LUS) after intubation(T1) and 30th minute after (T3) extubation Up to postoperative 1 hour To understand the effects of lateral position and pneumoperitoneum on the lungs in acute postoperative period, LUS measurement at T1 (5 minutes after intubation) and LUS measurement at T3 (30 minutes after extubation) will be compared. LUS score vary between 0 to 36 (0= worst, 36= best condition of the lungs).
