Optimal positive end-expiratory pressure titration of intraoperative mechanical ventilation in different operative positions of female patients under general anesthesia

© 2023 The Authors..

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of different titrated methods used to determine individual positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for intraoperative mechanical ventilation in female patients undergoing general anesthesia in different operative positions, and provide reference ranges of optimal PEEP values based on the titration.

Methods: A total of 123 female patients who underwent elective open abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were included in this study. After endotracheal intubation, patients' body position was adjusted to the supine position, Trendelenburg positions at 10° and 20° respectively. PEEP was titrated from 20 cmH2O to 4 cmH2O, decreasing by 2 cmH2O every 1 min. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT), hemodynamic and respiratory mechanics parameters were continuously monitored and recorded. Optimal PEEP values and reference ranges were respectively calculated based on optimal EIT parameters, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and lung dynamic compliance (Cdyn).

Results: EIT-guided optimal PEEP was found to have higher values than those of the MAP-guided and Cdyn-guided methods for all three body positions (P < 0.001), and it was observed to more significantly inhibit hemodynamics (P < 0.05). The variable coefficients of EIT-guided optimal PEEP values were smaller than those of the other two methods, and this technique could provide better ventilation uniformity for dorsal/ventral lung fields and better balance for pulmonary atelectasis/collapse. The 95% reference ranges of EIT-guided optimal PEEP values were 4.6-13.8 cmH2O, 7.0-15.0 cmH2O and 8.6-17.0 cmH2O for the supine position, Trendelenburg 10°, and Trendelenburg 20° positions, respectively.

Conclusion: EIT-guided optimal PEEP titration was found to be a superior method for lung protective ventilation in different operative positions under general anesthesia. The calculated reference ranges of PEEP values based on the EIT-guided method can be used as a reference for intraoperative mechanical ventilation.
