简要总结
This study investigates the relationship between intraoperative mechanical power and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. The investigators record mechanical ventilation parameters and surgical characteristics, assessing the incidence of pulmonary complications within 24 hours postoperatively."
详细描述
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are often underestimated yet remain a leading cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality. These complications encompass postoperative hypoxia, atelectasis, bronchospasm, pulmonary infections, infiltrations, aspiration pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pleural effusion, and pulmonary edema. They are prevalent and associated with significant costs, prolonging hospital stays, ventilation duration, and ICU admissions, while also increasing mortality and morbidity risks.
Perioperative mechanical ventilation stands as a primary risk factor for the development of postoperative pulmonary complications. Approximately one in four patients with normal lungs will develop some form of lung injury following mechanical ventilation, although much of this damage can be mitigated through the use of appropriate ventilation strategies. A range of pulmonary complications induced by mechanical ventilation is known as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).
A growing understanding of the injury mechanism aids researchers in identifying risk factors for lung injury, including tidal volume, respiratory rate, pressures, and flow. Mechanical power, which combines tidal volume, respiratory rate, and airway pressure, has been identified as a potential contributor to VILI. The greater the power, the higher the likelihood of lung injury occurring.
Mechanical power represents the total energy expended over a specific period and is typically expressed in joules per minute (J/min). The equation for mechanical power can help estimate the contribution of different causes of VILI and their variations. This equation can be easily applied in the software of each ventilator. Recent studies have investigated threshold values for mechanical power in relation to ventilator-associated lung injury using the simplified formula found for mechanical power
