Thesis (MScPhysio)--Stellenbosch University, 2015. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Question: What are the effects of Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (with and without a Positive End Expiratory Pressure [PEEP] Valve), compared to deep breathing exercises, on ventilation distribution in high-risk adults following open upper abdominal surgery (UAS)? Design: This study comprised an observational descriptive component as well as a prospective triple blind randomised controlled crossover trial with concealed allocation and patient, assessor and statistician blinding Participants: Seven patients at high risk for postoperative pulmonary complications following UAS Intervention: Deep breathing exercises (DBExs) were compared to Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB), with IPPB further applied with and without a PEEP Valve, using a randomised cross-over design with 30 minute washout duration between periods. Outcome measures: Global and regional impedance changes in the lungs were measured using Electrical Impedance Tomography. Vital signs, visual analogue pain scale (VAS) and modified Borg scale (MBS) were measured pre– and post-intervention. Results: A greater mean global lung impedance change ( Z) was detected with IPPB compared to DBExs (mean difference in Z 2803.8; 95% CI 5189.9 to 8512.5 and 2046 to 96047.9; P<0.01). These changes in lung impedance lasted 30 minutes before returning to baseline. There was no difference in Z when patients received IPPB with 5cmH20 PEEP compared to IPPB with no PEEP. No specific regional ventilation changes were noted. IPPB did not increase VAS, MBS scores or adversely affect vital signs. Conclusion: IPPB is an effective technique to improve lung volumes compared to deep breathing exercises. Further studies are required to investigate the effect of IPPB on clinical outcome. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Vraag: Watter uitwerking het onderbroke positiewe-drukasemhaling (met én sonder ’n positiewe-endekspiratoriesedruk-[PEEP-]klep) in vergelyking met diepasemhalings-oefeninge op ventilasieverspreiding by hoërisikovolwassenes ná bo-buikchirurgie? Ontwerp: ’n Waarnemingsgegronde, vergelykende en ondersoekende, driedubbelblinde, verewekansigde gekontroleerde oorskakelproef, met verborge toewysing en blinding van pasiënte, die assesseerder en statistikus Deelnemers: Sewe pasiënte met ’n hoë risiko vir post-operatiewe pulmonêre komplikasies na bo-buikchirurgie Intervensie: Diepasemhalingsoefeninge (DBEx) is vergelyk met onderbroke positiewedrukasemhaling (IPPB), wat op sy beurt met én sonder ’n PEEP-klep toegepas is, met behulp van ’n verewekansigde oorskakelstudie met ’n halfuur lange uitspoeling tussen oorskakelings. Uitkomsmetings: Algehele en regionale impedansieveranderinge in die longe is met behulp van elektriese impedansietomografie gemeet. Vitale tekens, die visuele analoogskaal (VAS) en die aangepaste Borg-skaal (MBS) is voor, sowel as na die intervensie afgeneem. Resultate: ’n Groter gemiddelde algehele impedansieverandering ( Z) is opgemerk met IPPB in vergelyking met DBEx (gemiddelde verskil 2803.8; 95% CI 5189.9: 8512.5 en 2046: 96047.9; P<0.01). Hierdie veranderinge in longimpedansie het ’n halfuur of langer geduur voordat dit na die basislyn teruggekeer het. Daar was geen verskil in Z toe pasiënte IPPB met ’n PEEP-klep van 5cmH20 ontvang het teenoor IPPB sonder ’n PEEP-klep nie. Geen spesifieke regionale voorkeure is opgemerk nie. IPPB het nie die VAS- of MBS-tellings verhoog of vitale tekens verswak nie. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za iv Gevolgtrekking: In vergelyking met DBEx, is IPPB ’n doeltreffende tegniek om longvolumes te verbeter. Verdere studies word vereis om die uitwerking van IPPB op kliniese uitkomste te ondersoek.

<p>Patienter med morbid obesitas har en ökad risk för atelektasbildning och postoperativarespiratoriska komplikationer efter generell anestesi på grund av sänkt vitalkapacitet (VC),funktionel residualkapacitet (FRC) och total lungkapacitet (TLC).

INTRODUÇÃO: A literatura tem postulado que a ventilação por pressão positiva não invasiva (VNI) pode facilitar o desmame de um grupo específico de pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a utilização da VNI como método alternativo na supressão da ventilação mecânica no pós-operatório de cirurgia cardíaca. MÉTODOS: Neste estudo prospectivo controlado e randomizado, foram estudados 100 pacientes submetidos a cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio ou cirurgia valvar. Os pacientes foram admitidos na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), sob ventilação mecânica e randomizados posteriormente em grupo estudo (n= 50), que utilizou VNI com dois níveis pressóricos após extubação, e grupo controle (n= 50), que utilizou a técnica convencional de supressão da ventilação mecânica. Foram analisados os tempos correspondentes à anestesia, cirurgia, circulação extracorpórea e ventilação mecânica na UTI. As variáveis gasométricas, hemodinâmicas e radiológicas foram avaliadas antes e após a extubação. RESULTADOS: Os grupos controle e estudo apresentaram comportamento semelhante quanto ao tempo de desmame ventilatório e as outras variáveis estudadas não apresentaram diferença estatística. A utilização da VNI por 30\' após a extubação, nos pacientes com atelectasias, promoveu diferença significativa na PaCO2 no grupo coronariano e na PaO2 no grupo submetido à cirurgia valvar. CONCLUSÃO: O tempo para supressão da ventilação mecânica foi similar nos grupos. Fatores extrísecos interferiram na evolução do desmame. O uso da VNI por 30 minutos após extubação apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante nas variáveis gasométricas em pacientes com atelectasias / INTRODUCTION: It was postulated that noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) could facilitate ventilatory weaning in specific patients. The aim was to compare NPPV as alternative ventilatory weaning method with a standard ventilatory weaning protocol in the immediate postoperative period of cardiac surgery. METHODS: One hundred consecutive patients submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting or valvar surgery were addmitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and mechanicanically ventilated. They were randomly assigned to a study group (n=50) wich use NPPV witn bilevel presssure in the airways and a control group (n=50) witch used the conventional weaning thecnique. The outcome measures were anestesie, surgery, cardiopulmonar bypass and mechanical ventilation time. Arterial blood gases, hemodynamics and chest X-rays were assessed pre and post extubation. RESULTS: Weaning times were similar in both groups, and no differences were found in the studied variables. There were statistic significance considering PaCO2 in coronary and PaO2 in valvar group using NPPV 30\' after extubation, when atelectasis was detected. CONCLUSION: The ventilatory weaning time was similar in both groups. Extrinsics factors had interfered in weaning evolution. NPPV use during 30\' after extubation had statistical significance in gasometric variables in patients with athelectasis
