Brief Summary

The primary aim of our study is to leverage lung ultrasound to assess and identify postoperative pulmonary complications following shoulder arthroscopic surgery and the implications of the used irrigation fluid.the investigators will further investigate the impact of intraoperative fluid management strategies on these Postoperative pulmonary complications and their effects on hemodynamics. By harnessing the potential of lung ultrasound in this context, we aspire to enhance both the diagnostic capabilities and overall safety of shoulder arthroscopic surgery, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Detailed Description

Shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique, has become a preferred method for addressing conditions like rotator cuff tears and recurrent joint instability due to its advantages, such as reduced post-operative pain and quicker rehabilitation. However, recent attention has shifted to potential complications, including issues related to irrigation fluid, patient positioning in the beach-chair posture, and anesthesia protocols. One key concern is the use of pressurized irrigation fluid, which, while essential for visualization, carries the risk of complications, including subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, tension pneumothorax, air embolism, pulmonary edema, and atelectasis. These complications can have systemic effects, emphasizing the need for precise intraoperative fluid management.

Intraoperative fluid management strategies are a subject of continuous debate in the field of surgery, giving rise to three main strategies: 'liberal,' 'restricted,' and 'goal-directed' fluid therapy. These strategies vary in terms of the type of fluid used, timing of administration, and volume administered. While administering large volumes of fluids may improve organ perfusion, it may also increase the incidence of perioperative cardiopulmonary complications. Conversely, fluid restriction may reduce the length of hospital stay but increase the risk of postoperative acute kidney injury. Goal-directed therapy, which tailors fluid administration based on reproducible endpoints, has been associated with improved perioperative outcomes. The Bezold-Jarisch reflex is a cardiovascular reflex that can result in severe bradycardia and vasodilation when activated, especially in fasting patients with beach-chair position and other positions that lead to pooling of the blood in the lower limb and, in turn, lead to a decrease in venous return.

Understanding the intricate relationship between this reflex and intraoperative fluid management is paramount for improving patient safety and surgical outcomes. This reflex can be triggered by various factors, including rapid fluid administration and alterations in venous return, particularly in patients positioned in the beach chair posture.

GroupInterventionDescription
Restrictive fluid group (RG)Intraoperative fluid management stratigies.The restrictive fluid group (RG) aims to achieve a net zero fluid balance and involves a 2 mL/kg bolus at anesthesia induction, followed by an intraoperative crystalloid infusion at a rate of 4 mL/kg/hr.
liberal group (LG)Intraoperative fluid management stratigies.The liberal group (LG) will receive a 10 mL/kg bolus at anesthesia induction, followed by an intraoperative crystalloid infusion at a rate of 8 mL/kg/hr \[12, 13\].
