How Should We Ventilate Patients in the Operating Room?
• What we have done
• Pathophysiology of general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation
• Recent clinical data on protective ventilation strategies

Older Anesthesia Machines
Ventilator had two modes:
1. Bag
2. Volume Control
![Page 4: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Older Machines - Volume Control
• CMV (Continuous Mandatory Ventilation)• No attempt to synchronize with patient effort• Constant flow rate• Ascending pressure• Set rate and I:E ratio determine inspiratory
time• Flow x Inspiratory time = Tidal Volume• Tidal volume changed with fresh gas flow
![Page 5: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pressure vs. Volume Control
Tobin MJ. Principles and Practice of Mechanical Ventilation, 2nd Ed. 2006.
Pressure control
Volume control(really flow control)

Older PEEP

Newer Anesthesia Machines
Pressure dial
Flowmeters
No PEEP

What Tidal Volume Should We Use Under General Anesthesia?
• Normal tidal volume in adult humans breathing spontaneously is approximately:
6 mL/kg predicted body weight
• Should there be a different normal for mechanical ventilation?
![Page 9: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Predicted Body Weight
• Depends on height and gender only; as patients become more or less obese, their lungs stay the same size
• Males: PBW (kg) =
50.0 + 2.3 x (height in inches – 60)
• Females: PBW (kg) =
45.5 + 2.3 x (height in inches – 60)

8.8 mL/kg PBW

Why do we use large tidal volumes in the OR?
![Page 15: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“A Concept of Atelectasis”
• Spontaneous breathing includes periodic deep breaths or sighs
• Mechanical ventilation typically delivers constant tidal volumes
• Over time, mechanical ventilation may lead to decreases in oxygenation and compliance due to alveolar collapse or atelectasis
• Atelectasis may be reversible with periodic hyperinflations
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996
![Page 16: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
“A Concept of Atelectasis”
• Declines in PaO2 and compliance reversible with hyperinflation maneuvers
• No use of PEEP in this study
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996
![Page 17: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

“Perhaps the best course of action, during controlled ventilation, is . . . in providing reasonably large tidal volumes . . . [and] periodic passive hyperinflation of the lungs.”
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996

Pathophysiology of General Anesthesia
Hedenstierna G. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2012;56:675-685
![Page 20: The Art and Science of Intraoperative Ventilator Management Ross Blank, MD Assistant Professor Division of Critical Care Director, Thoracic Anesthesia.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d1a5503460f949efd1f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pathophysiology of General Anesthesia
• Atelectasis occurs with anesthesia induction• Supine position• Loss of muscle tone• Decrease in FRC• Airway closure• Oxygen absorption• Lung compression• Surfactant deficiency
• Shunting -> hypoxemia
• Increased VD/VT -> wasted ventilation
• May predispose to infection

• Least atelectasis and highest PACU PO2 observed with RM followed by 40% FiO2
• Positive pressure not maintained after RM

Role for CPAP after Extubation?• Multi-center RCT

Conclusions
The common practice of using supraphysiologic tidal volumes without PEEP will support oxygenation and not cause overt harm in the majority of patients.

Conclusions
Atelectasis develops quickly and reliably after induction of anesthesia and can be minimized with RMs after induction and circuit disconnections, application of PEEP after RMs, minimization of FiO2 when possible, and continuation of lung expansion modalities into the recovery room and postoperative ward.

Conclusions
A comprehensive strategy of lung-protective ventilation aims to minimize both atelectasis and ventilator-induced lung injury and is increasingly being shown to be beneficial in varied surgical populations. There is no evidence that such strategies confer harm.
