Using a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) postoperatively may decrease this challenge. Purpose The study aimed to assess the clinical effect of HFNC after extubation compared with simple face mask oxygen following major elective upper abdominal surgeries regarding PPCs, the need to escalate the respiratory support, days of intensive care unit stay, and days of hospital stay. Methods Eighty adult patients were randomly assigned to two groups (each with 40 patients): group I received HFNC, while group II received a standard oxygen face mask. Five days later, postoperative pulmonary problems were evaluated. Results There was statistically significantly less lung atelectasis in the HFNC group than in the face mask group. The p-value was 0.029. There was no statistically significant difference concerning the need to escalate the respiratory support. The length of hospital and ICU stay days for the HFNC group was statistically significantly lower than for the face mask group. Conclusion HFNC is more efficient than a simple oxygen face mask in lowering lung atelectasis following major upper abdominal procedures, improving oxygenation with decreasing respiratory rate and reducing ICU and hospital days of stay.","PeriodicalId":11437,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Anaesthesia","volume":"38 1","pages":"656 - 664"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42382396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The internal jugular vein collapsibility index (IJV-CI), rates of change in IJV diameter (ΔIJV-D) and IJV area (ΔIJV-A) in the supine and Trendelenburg positions, and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were evaluated as predictors of SAIH in the senior population. Materials and methods This prospective Cohort was conducted at the Cairo University Hospitals. Seventy-one patients scheduled for elective procedures under spinal anaesthesia of ASA I–III, over 60 years and BMI less than 30 kg/m2. The right IJV was assessed ultrasonographically in supine and Trendelenburg postures, as well as CIMT. The primary outcome was the IJV- CI as predictor of SAIH while ΔIJV-D and ΔIJV-A with posture and CIMT in prediction of SAIH were assigned as secondary outcomes. Results SAIH was shown in forty-seven (66.2%) of patients.

Patients were randomly allocated into three groups. In the low tidal volume (LTV) group, ventilator was set to a respiratory rate of 5 breaths per minute with tidal volume of 2–3 ml/kg of ideal body weight and a positive end-expiratory pressure of 3–5 cmH2O. In continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) group, oxygen flow was maintained at 0.5 L/min during CPB, ventilator was shut off and the adjustable pressure-limiting valve (APL) was set at a pressure of 10 cmH2O.

Methods This prospective observational study included 60 women who were randomly assigned to have diagnostic gynaecological laparoscopy during their menstrual cycle’s luteal or follicular phases. Patients were divided into two groups: follicular and luteal group. Preoperatively a blood sample was withdrawn for measurement of norepinephrine, estradiol, and progesterone levels.

Before induction of anaesthesia, baseline HR, SBP, DBP, and MAP were measured. Then, following endotracheal intubation at 1, 3 and 5 minutes. Pain perception was assessed using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS); in response to IV cannulation, then postoperative abdominal pain and shoulder referred pain were assessed every 15 minutes till the end of 1st hour, then every 6 hours till discharge.

Methods This prospective, double-blind, randomized trial included 99 children (4–9 years), who underwent hypospadias repair surgeries. Patients were randomly distributed into three equal groups: group MV (listening to recorded mother’s voice), group D (receiving dexmedetomidine), or group C (control). The primary outcomes were the incidence of ED and its severity using the pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium scale (PAED) at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
