Best End-Expiratory and Driving-pressure for Individualized Flow Controlled Ventilation in Patients With COPD
- Conditions

- Registration Number
- NCT05812365
- Lead Sponsor
- Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf
- Brief Summary
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a significantly increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC). Protective ventilation of the lungs could reduce the rate of PPC in patients with COPD. It has been suggested that flow controlled ventilation (FCV) may be less invasive and more protective to the lungs than conventional ventilation in patients with COPD.
The primary aim of this study is to determine a optimal individual ventilation setting for FCV in ten participants with COPD.
- Detailed Description
The estimated worldwide chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mean prevalence is 13.1%. In 2015, 3.2 million people died from COPD worldwide, and estimates show that COPD will be the third leading cause of death in 2030. Patients with COPD are at high risk for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC). It has been proposed that FCV might be less-invasive and more protective for the lungs than conventional ventilation in patients with COPD. The pathophysiology of COPD is multifactorial, with the collapse of the central airways having a major impact on the symptoms. Minimizing the expiratory flow could prevent this airway pathology, and thus be beneficial in the ventilation of patients with COPD.
In the operation theater participants will be ventilated with flow controlled ventilation (FCV). Arterial blood gas analysis and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) will be measured.
The aim of the study is to determine the best end-expiratory pressure and driving pressure (assessed after anesthesia induction based on compliance and EIT parameters).
