  1. Pulmonary Atelectasis Presented by Kang, ting-jui

  2. Introduction • General anesthesia is associated with impaired oxygenation  pulmonary atelectasis was suspected as the major cause • Decrease in lung compliance and the partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) • Atelectasis occurs in the most dependent parts of the lung of 90% of patients who are anesthetized  gas exchange abnormalities and reduced static compliance associated with acute lung injury  perioperative morbidity

  3. Physiologic causes of atelectasis • Mechanisms: • Compression of lung tissue • Absorption of alveolar air • Impairment of surfactant function

  4. Compression atelectasis • Overall cephalad diaphragm displacement after anesthesia, the diaphragm is relaxed • Differential regional diaphragmatic changes • In an anesthetized patient breathing spontaneously  the diaphragm moves the most in the lower, dependent portion • During paralysis and positive-pressure ventilation  the passive diaphragm is displaced by the positive pressure preferentially in the upper, nondependent portion

  5. Compression atelectasis • Shift of thoracic central vascular blood into the abdomen additional dependent pressure arising from the abdomen • Altered diaphragmatic dynamics phrenic nerve stimulation versusisovolumic conditions in anesthetized patients

  6. Gas resorption • Resorption atelectasis occur by two mechanisms • After complete airway occlusion gas trapped  gas uptake by the blood continues and gas inflow is prevented  gas pocket collapses; increases with elevation of FI02 • Low ventilation relative to perfusion (low [VA/Q] ratio) have a low partial pressure of alveolar oxygen (PAO2)  when FIO2 increased, PAO2 increases  oxygen moves from alveolar to blood greatly  lung unit progressively smaller

  7. Surfactant impairment • Stabilizing function of surfactant may be depressed by anesthesia • Reduction in percent maximum lung volume was proportional to the concentration of both chloroform and halothane • Halothane anesthesia combination with high oxygen concentration, caused increased permeability of the alveolar– capillary barrier in rabbit lungs • Increased tidal volume  cause release of surfactant

  8. Pathogenic mechanisms to development atelectasis

  9. Factors modulating the formation of atelectasis

  10. Type of anesthesia • Atelectasis develops with both intravenous and inhalational anesthesia, whether the patient is breathing spontaneously or is paralyzed and mechanically ventilated • Ketamine: not produce atelectasis when used alone • Regional anesthesia: depend on the type and extension of motor blockade • Reduces inspiratory capacity by up to 20%, and expiratory reserve volume approaches zero • Less extensive blockade closing capacity and FRC remain unchanged

  11. Impact of time • The maximum decrease in FRC seems to occur within the first few minutes of general anesthesia • During anesthesia for surgical operations on the limb  FRC is not influenced further by depth or duration of anesthesia • During abdominal or thoracic surgery, pulmonary gas exchange deteriorates progressively during the course of the operation unable to determine the independent impact of time on atelectasis as opposed to surgical manipulation

  12. Effects of position • Changing from the upright to the supine position results in a decrease of 0.5L in FRC to 1.0L, even in the awake state • After anesthesia, FRC is reduced by a further 0.5L to 0.7L • Trendelenburg position resulting in further decrease in FRC • Lateral decubitus position usually slight increase in total lung FRC • Prone position may increase FRC slightly, although this may not decrease atelectasis

  13. Effects of position • Distribution of ventilation is more uniform in anesthetized patients in the prone position; improves oxygenation in patients with ARDS • Atelectasis is more prominent after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass; not related to increasing in pulmonary endothelial permeability • Lung recruitment strategy and PEEP improves oxygenation in patients after CPB • Intentionally inflate the patient’s lungs before coming off CPB and directly visualize equal expansion of the lungs

  14. Inspired oxygen • High oxygen concentration has been associated with atelectasis formation • Increasing FIO2 at the end of surgery to 1.0 before extubation also causes additional atelectasis • During routine induction of general anesthesia, 80% oxygen caused minimal atelectasis, but the time margin before desaturation occurred was significantly shortened compared with that of 100% oxygen

  15. Inspired oxygen • No difference in the incidence of postoperative atelectasis if nitrous oxide in oxygen was used or if air in oxygen was used • The very rare possibility of acute hypoxemia in the event of difficulty with airway management versus the common and predictable — but generally mild—impact of hyperoxia-induced atelectasis on later intraoperative gas exchange • A lower FIO2 to replace preoxygenation has not been recommended

  16. Effects of age • Progressive age is not associated with increased propensity for development of atelectasis • Young children (aged 1–3 yr) develop atelectasis more readily greater thoracic wall compliance, less outwardly directed lung distension forces • Children younger than 2yr prone to respiratory failure and fatigue: type I and II muscle fibers are not fully developed • Infant at greater risk for atelectasis because the elastic supporting structure of the lung is incompletely developed

  17. Body habitus • Obesity markedly reduced FRC and lung compliance development of atelectasis  worsens arterial oxygenation • The weight of the torso and abdomen make diaphragmatic excursions more difficult— especially when recumbent or supine—the FRC decreases, intensified in paralysis with neuromuscular blockade • Pregnancy also potentiates atelectasis

  18. Tidal volume • The use of low tidal volume in patients with ARDS reduces stretch-induced lung injury in patients with ARDS, improved patient survival • Low tidal volume increases atelectasis in the absence of lung injury • The specific “low-tidal-volume” approach was actually associated with the development of intrinsic PEEP • Pressure-controlled ventilation results in smaller delivered tidal volumes when respiratory system compliance is decreased may lead to atelectasis and may go undiagnosed

  19. Preexisting lung disease • Smokers and patients with lung disease show more pronounced gas exchange impairment than healthy subjects • Only a small shunt and almost no atelectasis develops in these patients, but they may have severe VA/Q mismatch • COPD may make them resist collapse • Large regions with low VA/Q ratios that can result, over time, in resorption atelectasis

  20. Effects of atelectasis • Decreased compliance • Impaired oxygenation • Pulmonary vascular resistance increase • Lung injury

  21. Postoperative period • Atelectasis can persist for 2 days after major surgery • The lung dysfunction is often transient; may be related to reduction in FRC • Postoperative mechanical respiratory abnormality after abdominal or thoracic surgery is a restrictive pattern with severely reduced inspiratory capacity, vital capacity, and FRC pain control in preventing postoperative atelectasis • Atelectasis and pneumonia are often considered together because the changes associated with atelectasis may predispose to pneumonia

  22. Detection of atelectasis • Conventional chest radiography • Computed tomography • Magnetic resonance imaging • Ultrasonography • Intravital microscopy • Cytokine profile

  23. Prevention / reversal of atelectasis • Healthy lungs • Reversible by passive hyperinflation (i.e., three successive inflations: a pressure of 20cmH2O for 10s; then a pressure of 30cm H2O for 15s; and third, a pressure of 40 cm H2O sustained for 15s) • High initial pressures are needed to overcome the anesthesia-induced collapse and that PEEP of 5cm H2O or more is required to prevent collapse • No evidence of barotrauma or pulmonary complications occurred in the high initial airway pressure

  24. Prevention / reversal of atelectasis • Injured lungs • Large tidal volumes, high peak airway pressures, and end-expiratory alveolar collapse with cyclic reopening have all been proposed as deleterious • Calculated the inflection point from a pressure–volume curve, and PEEP was preset at 2cm H2O above the inflection point • Recruiting maneuver: continuous positive airway pressures of 35–40cm H2O for 40 s followed by a return to previous PEEP levels • Optimum overall cardiopulmonary interaction • Only in patients with early ARDS

  25. Treating atelectasis in the postoperative period • Encourage or force patients to inspire deeply • Method: intermittent positive-pressure breathing, deep-breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, and chest physiotherapy • A simple posture change from supine to seated • Thoracic or sternal traction, the use of intravenous aminophylline as successful treatments of atelectasis in a number of case reports
