Study Overview

Brief Summary

Postoperative pulmonary complications are a frequent cause of morbidity following lumbar stabilization surgery. Conventional ventilation strategies may not adequately reflect intraoperative changes in respiratory mechanics, potentially leading to impaired postoperative pulmonary function. Dynamic compliance-guided ventilation provides a real-time, individualized approach by adjusting ventilatory parameters according to lung compliance.

This prospective randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of dynamic compliance-guided ventilation compared with standard ventilation strategies on postoperative pulmonary function in patients undergoing lumbar stabilization surgery. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to either the compliance-guided group or the conventional ventilation group.

In this study, the investigators aim to prospectively compare ventilation with the dynamic compliance (Cdyn) approach-one of the lung-protective ventilation strategies-with conventional ventilation methods in patients undergoing surgery in the prone position. The primary outcome will be evaluated using a modified lung ultrasound scoring system based on the most severely affected regions of aeration loss. Secondary objectives include the assessment of intraoperative hemodynamics, respiratory mechanics, and the effects on postoperative pulmonary function.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients who will undergo lumbar stabilization in the prone position

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients with ASA classification IV or higher
  • Patients with obesity (BMI>30) or cachexia (BMI<18)
  • Allergy to standard medications used during general anesthesia
  • Contraindications to PEEP (high intracranial pressure, bronchopleural fistula, hypovolemic shock, right heart failure)

Arms & Interventions

Dynamic Compliance Guided Ventilation

Active Comparator

Patients receive intraoperative ventilation adjusted according to real time dynamic compliance monitoring

Intervention: Dynamic Compliance Guided Ventilation (Procedure)

Standart Ventilation

Active Comparator

Patients receive intraoperative ventilation based on conventional standart settings without dynamic compliance adjustment

Intervention: Standard Ventilation (Procedure)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Modified Lung Ultrasound Score

Time Frame: baseline, postoperative 1th hour, postoperative 24th hour

The assessment will be performed using the Modified Lung Ultrasound Scoring system. The scale ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 36 points. A score of 0 indicates normal aeration in all zones, while a score of 36 represents the worst possible aeration loss. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome (increased lung aeration loss/atelectasis).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Incidence postoperative pulmonary complications(PPC)(postoperative first 7 days)
  • Intraoperative Dynamic Compliance (Cdyn)(intraoperative)
  • Intraoperative Plateau Pressure (Pplat)(intraoperative)
  • Intraoperative Driving Pressure (ΔP)(intraoperative)
  • Intraoperative Peak Pressure (Ppeak)(intraoperative)
  • Mean arterial pressure(MAP)(Baseline,intraoperative,1st hour postoperatively.)
  • Heart Rate(Baseline,intraoperative,1st hour postoperatively.)
  • Length of stay(From date of surgery until date of hospital discharge)
  • Partial pressure of oxygen(Baseline, intraoperative,1st hour postoperatively.)
  • SPO2(Baseline,intraoperative,1st hour postoperatively.)
