How Should We Ventilate Patients in
the Operating Room?
• What we have done
• Pathophysiology of general anesthesia and
mechanical ventilation
• Recent clinical data on protective ventilation
strategies
Older Anesthesia Machines
Ventilator had two
modes:
1. Bag
2. Volume Control
Older Machines - Volume Control
•
•
•
•
•
CMV (Continuous Mandatory Ventilation)
No attempt to synchronize with patient effort
Constant flow rate
Ascending pressure
Set rate and I:E ratio determine inspiratory
time
• Flow x Inspiratory time = Tidal Volume
• Tidal volume changed with fresh gas flow
Pressure vs. Volume Control
Pressure control

(really flow control)

Newer Anesthesia Machines

Flowmeters
No PEEP
What Tidal Volume Should We Use
Under General Anesthesia?
• Normal tidal volume in adult humans
breathing spontaneously is approximately:
6 mL/kg predicted body weight
• Should there be a different normal for
mechanical ventilation?
Predicted Body Weight
• Depends on height and gender only; as
patients become more or less obese, their
lungs stay the same size
• Males: PBW (kg) =
50.0 + 2.3 x (height in inches – 60)
• Females: PBW (kg) =
45.5 + 2.3 x (height in inches – 60)

Average Americans
Male
Female
Height: 5’9”
Height: 5’4”
PBW: 70.7 kg
PBW: 54.7 kg
TV (6 mL/kg): 424 mL
TV (6 mL/kg): 328 mL
The old default U of M tidal volume (600 mL) worked out to
8.5 mL/kg for males and 11 mL/kg for females; these are
supraphysiologic

Why do we use large tidal volumes
in the OR?
“A Concept of Atelectasis”
• Spontaneous breathing includes periodic
deep breaths or sighs
• Mechanical ventilation typically delivers
constant tidal volumes
• Over time, mechanical ventilation may lead
to decreases in oxygenation and compliance
due to alveolar collapse or atelectasis
• Atelectasis may be reversible with periodic
hyperinflations
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996
“A Concept of Atelectasis”
•
Declines in PaO2 and
compliance reversible
with hyperinflation
maneuvers
• No use of PEEP in this
study
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996
“A Concept of Atelectasis”
Large TV
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996
“Shallow” TV
“Perhaps the best course of action, during
controlled ventilation, is . . . in providing
reasonably large tidal volumes . . . [and]
periodic passive hyperinflation of the lungs.”
Bendixen et al. NEJM 1963;269:991-996
Pathophysiology of General
Anesthesia
Hedenstierna G. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2012;56:675-685
Pathophysiology of General
Anesthesia
•
•
•
•
Atelectasis occurs with
anesthesia induction
• Supine position
• Loss of muscle tone
• Decrease in FRC
• Airway closure
• Oxygen absorption
• Lung compression
• Surfactant deficiency
Shunting -> hypoxemia
Increased VD/VT -> wasted
ventilation
May predispose to infection

Atelectasis
Tusman and Bohm. Best Pract Res Clin Anaesthesiol 2010;24:183-197
How to Reverse Atelectasis?
• Large tidal volumes?
• Recruitment maneuvers?
• PEEP?
• Alveolar Recruitment Strategy?
• Inhaled Gas Composition?

Possible Methods to Limit
Atelectasis at Induction
1. Pre-oxygenation with < 100% FiO2
2. Pre-induction CPAP
3. Sitting position
4. Recruitment maneuver after induction
Hedenstierna G. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2012;56:675-685
Pre-Oxygenation with < 100% FiO2?
•
No pre-induction CPAP
•
No RM after intubation
•
PEEP 3 cm H2O after
intubation
Edmark et al. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2011;55:75-81
Emergence with < 100% FiO2?
Benoit et al. Anesth Analg 2002;95:1777-1781
•
Intervention 10 minutes
before end of surgery;
patients transported to CT
scanner after extubation;
supplemental O2 only prn
•
Least atelectasis and
highest PACU PO2
observed with RM followed
by 40% FiO2
•
Positive pressure not
maintained after RM
Role for CPAP after Extubation?
•
Multi-center RCT
•
209 patients with
hypoxemia after elective
open abdominal surgery
•
Mask O2 vs. O2 + CPAP 7.5
cm H2O
•
Stopped early after CPAP
group showed lower rates
of reintubation and
pneumonia, and less ICU
days
Squadrone et al. JAMA 2005;293:589-595

Respiratory infection, respiratory failure, bronchospasm, atelectasis, pleural
effusion, pneumothorax, or aspiration pneumonitis.”

Las Vegas
• 10,000 patients in 142 centers
• Enrollment closed in 3/2013
Conclusions
The common practice of using
supraphysiologic tidal volumes without
PEEP will support oxygenation and not
cause overt harm in the majority of patients.
Conclusions
Atelectasis develops quickly and reliably
after induction of anesthesia and can be
minimized with RMs after induction and
circuit disconnections, application of PEEP
after RMs, minimization of FiO2 when
possible, and continuation of lung expansion
modalities into the recovery room and
postoperative ward.
Conclusions
A comprehensive strategy of lung-protective
ventilation aims to minimize both atelectasis
and ventilator-induced lung injury and is
increasingly being shown to be beneficial in
varied surgical populations. There is no
evidence that such strategies confer harm.
