AI Article Synopsis

  • PC-IRV ventilation was observed to reduce the physiological dead space during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, making it potentially beneficial for patient outcomes.
  • The study involved 20 participants and compared three ventilator modes: volume control ventilation (VCV), pressure control ventilation (PCV), and PC-IRV, focusing on their effects on different types of dead space.
  • Results indicated that PC-IRV significantly lowered the ratio of physiological dead space and shunt dead space compared to VCV and PCV, suggesting it may enhance ventilation efficiency in surgical settings.

Article Abstract

Background: Pressure-controlled inverse inspiratory to expiratory ratio ventilation (PC-IRV) is thought to be beneficial for reducing the dead space volume.

Objective: To investigate the effects of PC-IRV on the components of dead space during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RLRP).

Design: A randomised crossover study of three different ventilator modes.

Setting: A single university hospital from September 2014 to April 2015.

Patients: Twenty consecutive study participants undergoing RLRP.

Interventions: Patients were ventilated sequentially with three different modes in random order for 30 min: volume control ventilation (VCV; inspiratory to expiratory ratio 0.5), pressure control ventilation (PCV; inspiratory to expiratory ratio 0.5) and PC-IRV. Inverse inspiratory to expiratory ratio was adjusted individually by observing the expiratory flow-time wave to prevent the risk of dynamic pulmonary hyperinflation.

Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome included physiological dead space (VDphys), airway dead space (VDaw), alveolar dead space (VDalv) and shunt dead space (VDshunt). VDphys was calculated by Enghoff's method. We also analysed respiratory dead space (VDresp) and VDaw using a novel analytical method. Then, VDalv and VDshunt were calculated by VDalv = VDresp - VDaw and VDshunt = VDphys - VDresp, respectively.

Results: The VDphys/expired tidal volume (VTE) ratio in PC-IRV (29.2 ± 4.7%) was significantly reduced compared with that in VCV (43 ± 8.5%) and in PCV (35.9 ± 3.9%). The VDshunt/VTE in PC-IRV was significantly smaller than that in VCV and PCV. VDaw/VTE in PC-IRV was also significantly smaller than that in VCV but not that in PCV. There was no significant change in VDalv/VTE.

Conclusion: PC-IRV with the inspiratory to expiratory ratio individually adjusted by the expiratory flow-time wave decreased VDphys/VTE in patients undergoing RLRP.
