Intraoperative Lung-Protective Ventilation in Neurosurgery

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Ventilator-induced Lung Injury
Interventions
Other: lung-protective ventilation
Registration Number
NCT02386683
Lead Sponsor
Capital Medical University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of lung-protective ventilation during general anesthesia for neurosurgical procedures on postoperative pulmonary outcome, compared with traditional ventilation.

Detailed Description

After screened for preoperative risk classification of postoperative respiratory complications,360 patients undergoing elective neurosurgery are randomly assigned to two groups, lung-protective ventilation (L) and traditional ventilation(T).Patients are mechanical ventilated with either a tidal volume of 10-12 ml/kg ideal body weight (IBW,T) or 6-8ml/kg IBW with 6-8 cm H2O PEEP(L),both with recruitment maneuver (RM).Each RM consists of applying a continuous positive airway pressure of 30 cmH2O for 30 seconds. Postoperative pulmonary complications are compared between groups.
