Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the pulmonary protective effect of individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation guided by driving pressure in patients undergoing rib fracture surgery.Methods:In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 80 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with a body mass index of 19-28 kg/m 2, who underwent elective open reduction and internal fixation of unilateral rib fractures at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March to October 2024, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) by the random number table method: fixed PEEP ventilation group (group C) and driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP ventilation group (group DP). Group C adopted the ventilation strategy of fixed PEEP with 5 cmH 2O. Group DP adopted the ventilation strategy guided by the driving pressure: PEEP was titrated from 10 cmH 2O, being gradually decreased to 3 cmH 2O at intervals of 1 cmH 2O. Each PEEP level was maintained for 10 respiratory cycles, and the driving pressure of the last cycle was calculated, and the PEEP that could achieve the lowest driving pressure was selected and applied. Lung ultrasound examinations were performed immediately after entering the operating room (T 0) and at 30 min after entering the anesthesia recovery room (T 3), and the lung ultrasound score was recorded. The occurrence of severe postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 days was recorded. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at T 0, 1 h after PEEP setting (T 1), at the end of suture at the surgical site (T 2) and at T 3, and the oxygenation index was calculated. The peak airway pressure, PEEP and driving pressure were recorded at T 1 and T 2. The duration of the indwelling thoracic drainage tube use and length of postoperative hospital stay were recorded. Results:The incidence of severe postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 days after surgery was 28%(11/40) in group C and 10% in group DP, and the incidence was significantly lower in DP group than in C group ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the lung ultrasund score was significantly decreased at T 3, the oxygenation index was increased at T 1-3, the PEEP was increased and the driving pressure was decreased at T 1-2, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was shortened in group DP ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP ventilation can decrease the risk of severe postoperative pulmonary complications, alleviate postoperative lung injury and provide a certain degree of lung protection in patients undergoing rib fracture surgery.
