ABSTRACT
Objective@#: The facial nerve trace on the ipsilateral side of the vestibular schwannoma was reconstructed by diffusion tensor imaging tractography to identify the adjacent relationship between the facial nerve and the tumor, and to improve the level of intraoperative facial nerve protection. @*Methods@#: The clinical data of 30 cases of unilateral vestibular schwannoma who underwent tumor resection via retrosigmoid approach were collected between January 2019 and December 2020. All cases underwent magnetic resonance imaging examination before operation. Diffusion tensor imaging and anatomical images were used to reconstruct the facial nerve track of the affected side, so as to predict the course of the nerve and its adjacent relationship with the tumor, to compare the actual trace of the facial nerve during operation, verify the degree of coincidence, and evaluate the nerve function (House-Brackmann grade) after surgery. @*Results@#: The facial nerve of 27 out of 30 cases could be displayed by diffusion tensor imaging tractography, and the tracking rate was 90% (27/30). The intraoperative locations of facial nerve shown in 25 cases were consistent with the preoperative reconstruction results. The coincidence rate was 92.6% (25/27). The facial nerves were located on the anterior middle part of the tumor in 14 cases, anterior upper part in eight cases, anterior lower part in seven cases, and superior polar in one case. Intraoperative facial nerve anatomy was preserved in 30 cases. Among the 30 patients, total resection was performed in 28 cases and subtotal resection in two cases. The facial nerve function was evaluated 2 weeks after operation, and the results showed grade I in 12 cases, grade II in 16 cases and grade III in two cases. @*Conclusion@#: Preoperative diffusion tensor imaging tractography can clearly show the trajectory and adjacent position of the facial nerve on the side of vestibular schwannoma, which is beneficial to accurately identify and effectively protect the facial nerve during the operation, and is worthy of clinical application and promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of end-expiratory positive pressure of pulmonary protective ventilation strategy in overweight patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods:Forty overweight patients, 24 kg/m 2≤BMI<28 kg/m 2, aged 20-65yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery to radical resection of rectal cancer under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table: positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) group (group P), control group (group C). The rest of the settings in mechanical ventilation were the same in both groups, tidal volume (Vt)=6 ml/kg, initial respiration frequency (RR)=15 bpm, oxygen inhalation 100%, inspiratory expiratory time ratio ( I∶E)=1∶2. The concentration of oxygen inhalation was 50% and respiration frequency was adjusted to maintain P ETCO 2 35-45 mmHg after endotracheal intubation. The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), tidal volume (Vt), airway peak pressure (Ppeak), airway pressure platform (Pplat) were recor-ded, and the lung dynamic compliance (Cdyn) was calculated; arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO 2) were measured by gas analyzer; oxygenation index (OI) was calculated at the time of before induction of anesthesia (T 0) , 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T 1), 5 min after laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum (T 2), 60 min after laparoscopic pneumoperitoneum (T 3), and suturing the skin (T 4). The postoperative pulmonary complications were observed 3 days after surgery. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in patients characteristics and operative indicators ( P>0.05). Compared with T 0, the mean arterial blood pressure of the two groups decreased at T 3 and T 4, and there was no significant difference in heart rate at each time ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in hemodynamic parameters between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with T 1, VT increased at T 2 in group P and T 3 in group C, while there was no significant difference in VT between the two groups ( P>0.05); compared with T 1, Ppeak and Pplat increased at T 2 and T 3 in both groups, while there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05); compared with T 1, Cdyn of the two groups decreased at T 2 and T 3 ( P<0.05), and cdyn of the P group at each time were higher than that of the group C ( P<0.05). Compared with T 1, PaO 2 and OI decreased and PaCO 2 increased at T 2, T 3 and T 4 in the two groups ( P<0.05). PaO 2 and OI at T 3 and T 4 in the P group were higher than those in the C group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in PaCO 2 between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of pulmonary complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Positive end-expiratory pressure of protective ventilation strategy from the induction period of general anesthesia can effectively improve dynamic lung cdyniance, improve oxygenation and promote pulmonary function recovery in overweight patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
ABSTRACT
Lidocaine is often used for local anaesthesia and nerve block.Intravenous lidocaine can reduce intracranial pressure and exert brain protection in neurosurgery.With the continuously deepening clinical research and application of lidocaine,the effects of lidocaine on analgesia,anti-inflammatory,organ protection and promotion of postoperative recovery in general anesthesia are also gradually attracting attention.The patients with digestive tract tumors are mostly middle-aged and elderly.Because of long-term malnutrition and hemorrhage of tumors,the patients suffer from hypoproteinemia,emaciation,anemia,systemic organ failure,poor tolerance to surgery and anesthesia,intraoperative and postoperative prone to hemodynamic instability,poor oxygenation,delirium,cognitive dysfunction,pain and so on.This article reviews the application of intravenous lidocaine in general anesthesia of patients with gastrointestinal tumors,aiming to optimize the intraoperative management and improve the prognosis of patients.
ABSTRACT
With the ventilator associated lung injury (VALI) atracting more and more attention,lung protective ventilation strategy (LPVS) has gradually been applied to clinical practice.Obese patients are at higher risk in VALI for laparoscopic surgery,mechanical ventilation induced atelectasis is an important reason for low oxygen in intraoperative and postoperativen procedure.In laparoscopic surgery,high abdominal pressure causes the elevation of diaphragm,and increases airway pressure.The excessive pressure increases the amount of alveolar dead space and airway pressure,reduces lung compliance,and increases the possibility of barotrauma and colotrauma.In addition,carbon dioxide pnenmoperitoneum indces hypercapnia.Both of them influence the recovery of postoperative lung function.To optimize intraoperative management and improve the prognosis of patients with general anesthesia,the application of LPVS attracts more attention,including small tidal volume,positive end-expiratory pressure,and recruitment maneuvers,etc.However,LVPS may also cause lung injury.This article is a review on the application of LPVS in laparoscopic surgery of obese patients.
