Individualized Positive End-expiratory Pressure Evaluation Using the Intratidal Compliance-volume Profile in Children
Overview
The investigators assess the changes in respiratory compliance according to different levels of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in children under general anesthesia. In addition, the investigators evaluate the intratidal compliance-volume profile at each PEEP level and determine the optimal PEEP level during anesthesia.
Study Type
- Study Type: Interventional
- Study Design
- Allocation: N/A
- Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
- Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
- Masking: None (Open Label)
- Study Primary Completion Date: November 20, 2019
Interventions
- Procedure: Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)
- The different levels of PEEP, 5 cmH2O, 8 cmH2O and 12 cmH2O, are applied serially. Mean respiratory compliance and intratidal compliance-volume profile are evaluated.
Arms, Groups and Cohorts
- Experimental: Children
- Children who receive elective surgery under general anesthesia and are supported by mechanical ventilation
Clinical Trial Outcome Measures
Primary Measures
- Mean respiratory compliance
- Time Frame: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP
- Mean static and dynamic compliance
Secondary Measures
- Compliance profile
- Time Frame: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP
- We will determine Intratidal compliance-volume profile using the changes in compliance over time –> I, merely increasing compliance profile; IH, increasing turning into horizontal compliance profile; D, merely decreasing compliance profile; HD, horizontal turning into decreasing compliance profile; IHD, increasing turning into horizontal and further turning into decreasing compliance profile If compliance profile is I, the PEEP is low. On the other hand, compliance profile is D, PEEP level is considered to be high.
- Airway resistance
- Time Frame: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP
- Mean airway resistance
