About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Intraoperative Mechanical Power Applied to The Lung and Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery

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."

Read the detailed description

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

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intraoperative Mechanical Ventilation StrategiesOther

    The intervention involves the management of mechanical ventilation during major abdominal surgery. This includes the adjustment of ventilation parameters such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, peak pressure, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and inspiratory flow rate. The aim is to optimize ventilation strategies to reduce the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications

Study groups in NCT06375980
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients who developed postoperative pulmonary complicationsThis cohort consists of patients who developed postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The cohort of patients developing PPCs includes individuals who experienced postoperative hypoxia, atelectasis, bronchospasm, pulmonary infection, pulmonary infiltration, aspiration pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pleural effusion, and pulmonary edema. PPCs were assessed using the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome framework.
Receives: Other: Intraoperative Mechanical Ventilation Strategies
patients who did not develop postoperative pulmonary complications .This cohort comprises patients who did not develop postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). The cohort of patients not developing PPCs includes individuals who did not exhibit significant pulmonary complications postoperatively.
Receives: Other: Intraoperative Mechanical Ventilation Strategies

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Relationship between mechanical power and postoperative pulmonary complications

    This study aimed to assess the association between mechanical power and postoperative pulmonary complications. Mechanical power is a crucial parameter for predicting the risk of lung injury related to mechanical ventilation.

    Measurement Tool: Mechanical power calculation based on ventilator parameters. Unit of Measure: Mechanical power expressed in joules per minute (J/min).

    Measured: Patients were followed for 24 hours postoperatively to evaluate the occurrence of pulmonary complications.
