Background: Mechanical ventilation may be particularly challenging in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery. The present study aimed to compare the effects of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) with those of volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) on peripheral tissue oxygenation (PTO), respiratory function, hemodynamic status, and ventilation-related complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
Methods: A total of 100 patients with obesity who underwent gastric plication or sleeve gastrectomy were recruited for the study, and 60 patients (n=32, in group PCV; n=28, in group VCV) were ultimately enrolled. Data on peri-operative PTO (arterial blood gas [ABG] analysis and tissue oxygen saturation [StO]) and respiratory functions were recorded for each patient, along with post-operative hemodynamic status, fluid intake, urinary output, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score , and complications.
Results: The two groups were similar in pH, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, oxygen saturation, and lactate values at baseline, intra-operative and post-operative periods. The peri-operative StO values were also similar between the two groups at all times. The two groups were identical in terms of preoperative values for respiratory function tests and post-operative hemodynamic status, fluid intake, urinary output, pain scores, and complication rates.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the choice of the mechanical ventilation mode did not appear to influence oxygen delivery, respiratory function, hemodynamic status, post-operative pain, or ventilation-related complications in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
