Maximum Alveolar Concentration of Sevoflurane for Maintaining Effective Spontaneous Respiration

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Mechanical ventilation will bring many adverse effects. Positive pressure can affect hemodynamics. Inhalation of higher concentrations of oxygen during mechanical ventilation can result in reabsorbed atelectasis for the lungs with a low ventilation-perfusion ratio. Patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated are at risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia. Mechanical ventilation can induce or aggravate lung injury, called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) , Minimizing the duration of mechanical ventilation is the best way to reduce complications. Sevoflurane is a halogen group of inhaled anesthetics commonly used in clinical, with sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation. Sevoflurane also inhibited respiratory function, tidal volume decreased with the depth of anesthesia, respiratory rate increased, higher than the conscious respiratory rate, but not enough to fully compensate for the decreased tidal volume. The results showed that with the increase of the depth of anesthesia, the minute ventilation decreased, and the ability to remove carbon dioxide also decreased. Based on the background of the study and the pharmacological properties of sevoflurane, we sought to explore the maximum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for maintaining effective spontaneous respiration in patients, i.e.FiO2 = 30% , PaO2 > 92% , VT > 5 ml/kg, RR > 8/min, PETCO2 < 50 mmHg, sustained > 20s, the time from the beginning of inhalation induction to 1 point OAAS, the changes of hemodynamics during induction, and the recall of induction and operation were also explored.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Mechanical ventilation is the most widely used short-term life support technique in the world, which can not only provide good condition for anesthesiologists to manage airway, it can also prevent respiratory muscle fatigue and carbon dioxide accumulation caused by insufficient ventilation. At the same time, mechanical ventilation will also bring a lot of adverse effects. Positive pressure ventilation can affect hemodynamics, and studies have shown that high intrathoracic pressure, especially high plateau pressure, can adversely affect right ventricular afterload and function. Inhalation of higher concentrations of oxygen during mechanical ventilation can result in reabsorbed atelectasis for the lungs with a low ventilation-perfusion ratio. Patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated are at risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia due to low oral and pharyngeal secretions, reduced cough efficiency, and impaired mucociliary clearance. Mechanical ventilation can induce or aggravate lung injury, called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) . Minimizing the duration of mechanical ventilation is the best way to reduce complications. Sevoflurane is a halogen group of inhaled anesthetics commonly used in clinical, with sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation. The blood/gas distribution coefficient is low and the effect is quick. The elimination mainly depends on the lung exhalation, about 5% passes through the liver metabolism, is affected by the anaesthesia time long little. Long-term low-flow sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia has little effect on liver and kidney function. Sevoflurane also inhibited respiratory function, tidal volume decreased with the depth of anesthesia, respiratory rate increased, higher than the conscious respiratory rate, but not enough to fully compensate for the decreased tidal volume. The results showed that with the increase of the depth of anesthesia, the minute ventilation decreased, and the ability to remove carbon dioxide also decreased. Based on the background of the study and the pharmacological properties of sevoflurane, we sought to explore the best alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for maintaining effective spontaneous respiration in patients, i.e. FiO2 = 30% , PaO2 > 92% , VT > 5 ml/kg, RR > 8/min, PETCO2< 50 mmHg, sustained > 20s, the time from the beginning of inhalation induction to 1 point OAAS, the changes of hemodynamics during induction, and the recall of induction and operation were also explored.
