Abstract:
Objective To explore the method of anesthesia and intra-operative management for robotic thoracic surgery. Methods Twelve patients who underwent robotic thoracic surgery using the Da Vinci surgical system were anesthetized with general anesthesia combined with T4-8 paravertebral block. After induction of anesthesia, a double-lumen endotracheal tube was positioned by bronchofibroscope to allow onelung ventilation during intra-operative procedure. Hemodynamics and respiratory function were routinely monitored and arterial blood gas (ABG) were tested during operation. Results All patients could tolerate the anesthesia for robotic thoracic surgery and there was no hospital mortality. The arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) after induction were (35.2 ± 3.6) mm Hg( 1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) and (213.3 ± 57.5) mm Hg respectively; PaCO2 and PaO2 30 min after one -lung ventilation were (37.9 ± 4.8) mm Hg and ( 125.3 ± 36.5) mm Hg respectively. When the one-lung ventilation started about 58% (7/12) of the patient developed temporarily low SpO2 (over 0.90) and recovered to 0.95 soon when using 3 - 5 cm H2O( 1 cm H2O = 0.098 kPa) positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). The anesthesia time was ( 291.5 ± 99.4) min, the time for one-lung ventilation was (206.3 ± 93.4) min, the volume of blood loses in operation was ( 171.7 ± 110.3 ) ml and the tracheal catheter extration time was ( 16.3 ± 4.5 ) min, all the patients left ICU on the second day after surgery. Conclusions The anesthesia for robotic thoracic surgery with Da Vinci surgical system is multiplicity, the hemodynamics and respiratory function can be instable, it is a new challenge for the technology and management of anesthesia. Good one-lung ventilation is important for this surgery, ventilation parameter need to be adjusted when hypoxia occurred and PEEP could be used to the ventilated lung. General anesthesia combined with paravertebral block will be a good option for postoperative pain control and minimal hemodynamics disturb ance.
