Trial Outcomes & Findings for Nitrous Oxide for Identifying the Intersegmental Plane in Segmentectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial (NCT NCT04302350)

NCT ID: NCT04302350

Last Updated: 2023-03-02

Results Overview

The starting point of intraoperative expansion and collapse observation is the time when the lung tissue is completely expanded after blocking the relevant structure of the target segment; the end point is when a clear demarcation is formed between the target segment and the immediately-reserved lung segment, and this boundary does not follow significant changes over time), and the time was recorded in seconds (S).

Group75
The target segmental bronchus, arteries and intra-segment veins were accurately identi-fied and dissected by ligation or stapler cutting. The portable nitrous oxide concentration detector (TD600-SH-B-N2O, tiandi shouhe, Beijing, Chi-na) was installed to detect N2O concentration (vol%), and then adjusted the anesthesia machine to the manual control mode. The flow of the selected gas mixture was set to 8L/min (Group75 set to N2O:O2=6:2). When the N2O concentration detector reached the predetermined gas concentration, and then the collapsed lung was re-expanded completely with controlled airway pressure under 20 cmH2O (1cm H2O=0.098 kPa) by the anesthesiologist. FiO2=1.0 was performed after the initiation of the OLV. nitrous oxide: The rapid diffusion properties of N2O(Blood gas distribution coefficient is 0.47)would be expected to speed lung collapse and so facilitate surgery. The previous study suggested that increasing the concentration of N2O in mixtures of N2O/O2 will lead to a faster rate of collapse. When using nitrous oxide in oxygen during lung ventilation, ongoing oxygen uptake by blood shunting will serve to increase the partial pressure of nitrous oxide in parts of the lung that are still expanded. This will soon result in a partial pressure gradient for nitrous oxide uptake also, with a consequent faster rate of lung collapse than would occur in a patient being ventilated with 100% oxygen.
