Effects of inspired oxygen fraction or positive end expiratory pressure on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange and lung aeration after an alveolar recruitment maneuver in anesthetized and paralyzed dogs.
Abstract
Objective-To evaluate the effectiveness of reduction of inspired oxygen fraction (Fio(2)) or application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) after an alveolar recruitment maneuver (ARM) in minimizing anesthesia-induced atelectasis in dogs. Animals-30 healthy female dogs. Procedures-During anesthesia and neuromuscular blockade, dogs were mechanically ventilated under baseline conditions (tidal volume, 12 mL/kg; inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio, 1:2; Fio(2), 1; and zero end-expiratory pressure [ZEEP]). After 40 minutes, lungs were inflated (airway pressure, 40 cm H(2)O) for 20 seconds. Dogs were then exposed to baseline conditions (ZEEP100 group), baseline conditions with Fio(2) reduced to 0.4 (ZEEP40 group), or baseline conditions with PEEP at 5 cm H(2)O (PEEP100 group; 10 dogs/group). For each dog, arterial blood gas variables and respiratory system mechanics were evaluated and CT scans of the thorax were obtained before and at 5 (T5) and 30 (T30) minutes after the ARM. Results-Compared with pre-ARM findings, atelectasis decreased and Pao(2):Fio(2) ratio increased at T5 in all groups. At T30, atelectasis and oxygenation returned to pre-ARM findings in the ZEEP100 group but remained similar to T5 findings in the other groups. At T5 and T30, lung static compliance in the PEEP100 group was higher than values in the other groups. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-Application of airway pressure of 40 cm H(2)O for 20 seconds followed by Fio(2) reduction to 0.4 or ventilation with PEEP (5 cm H(2)O) was effective in diminishing anesthesia-induced atelectasis and maintaining lung function in dogs, compared with the effects of mechanical ventilation providing an Fio(2) of 1.
