Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), based on driving pressure, impacts lung function after laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
- A total of 91 patients were randomly assigned to receive either individualized PEEP or a fixed PEEP, with the main focus being on postoperative functional residual capacity (FRC) and other pulmonary outcomes.
- Results showed that individualized PEEP significantly increased postoperative FRC and improved other measures of lung function compared to the fixed PEEP group, indicating its effectiveness in enhancing ventilation and oxygenation.
Background: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can enhance the metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As biomarkers of tumor metastasis, metalloproteinases (MMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) together with NETs are essential to endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We hypothesized that intravenous infusion of lidocaine and dexmedetomidine could reduce the production of NETs and biomarkers of tumor metastasis after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in NSCLC patients.
