Conditions
Extravascular Lung Water

Diagnostic Test: pressure controlled ventilation
Registration Number
NCT03514706
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

Volume controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) are the common ventilatory modes during OLV undergoing thoracic surgery. A controversy regarding which ventilation mode is better for oxygenation during OLV with PCV enhances oxygenation more than VCV ;given its initial high peak inspiratory flow rates and its rapidly decelerating flow pattern. However, this high peak inspiratory flow rate might also provoke lung injury via shearing and traction forces on the alveoli. Extravascular lung water describes water within the lungs but outside pulmonary vasculature. Lung ultrasound (LUS) assessment of EVLW by B-lines provides a reliable and easy alternative.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Lung ultrasound scorechange of lung ultrasound scores introperatively during double lung and single lung ventilation and after 2 hours postoperatively compared to baseline scores before anesthesia induction

The sum of B lines reflects the extent of lung water accumulation. The lung ultrasound score(LUS) will be obtained by scanning 12-rib interspaces. The dependent lung will be divided into six areas: two anterior areas, two lateral areas, and two posterior areas. The anterior chest wall (zone 1) will be delineated from the parasternal to the anterior axillary line and will be divided into upper and lower halves, from the clavicle to the third intercostal space and from the third to the diaphragm. The lateral area (zone 2) will be delineated from the anterior to the posterior axillary line and was divided into upper and basal halves. The posterior area (zone 3) will be considered as the zone beyond the posterior axillary line. The sum of B-lines on each scanning site (0: absence; 1: B7 lines: multiple B-lines 7 mm apart; 2: B3 lines: multiple B 3 mm apart; 3: consolidation) yields a score from 0 to 36(10) score for the ventilated lung is only from 0-18.
