The Effect of Dexmedetomidine on Oxygen During One Lung Ventilation in Pediatric Surgery.

Syria110 participantsStarted 2021-03-01

Plain-language summary

The children who will undergo OLV (one lung ventilation) through general anesthesia will be divided into two groups: The first will be intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine at 0.4 mcg / kg / hour, and the second will be intravenous infusion of normal saline. We will take three samples of arterial blood gas (ABG) during the surgery at certain times. We record the hemodynamic values, PaO2, and calculate the value of the shunt Qs / Qt.

Inclusion criteria

✓. As per the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification I-I physical condition children undergoing thoracic surgery with OLV.
✓. From one day old to 12 years old.
✓. There is no prejudice in terms of gender.
✓. This study practically does not exclude any child who will undergo OLV even in the presence of cardiac, renal or hepatic diseases.

Exclusion criteria

✕. Premature infants: due to immaturity of the lung and insufficient formation of the surfactant.
✕. Cystic Fibrosis: The depressor for surfactant and lung immaturity is not permitted to perform the OLV technique
✕. There is no contraindication for the administration of dexmedetomidine in children except those who show signs of allergy to the dexmedetomidine.
✕. This study does not exclude practically any child who will undergo OLV.
✕. During operating surgery: The child is excluded from the study if hypoxia occurs (SpO2 \<90%) and did not respond to maneuvers and anesthetic techniques (Increase PEEP Increase the FLOW, Tidal volume, increase Vt, Pmax increased pressure, FiO2 increased) Then the lungs are periodically ventilated with positive pressure, and the OLV technique is switched off and the child is excluded from the pilot study.
✕. During operating surgery: If there is a drop-in heart rate less than 60 beats / minute and it does not respond to atropine or an increased dose of Cardiac tonics (dopamine).

What they're measuring

Evaluation of change in PaO2 during surgery

Timeframe: Three measurements will be taken over three times: T1: 10 min after induction of anesthesia and before OLV, T2: 10 min after lung isolation and OLV single lung ventilation, and T3: 60 min after OLV procedure.

Evaluation of change in Qs/Qt during surgery. Qs/Qt: is a measurement of pulmonary shunt. Qs: blood flow through the shunt, Qt : total blood flow.
