Improvement of ‘dynamic analgesia’ does not decrease atelectasis after thoracotomy

Abstract: There is still controversy concerning the beneficial aspects of 'dynamic analgesia' (i.e. pain while coughing or moving) on the reduction of postoperative atelectasis. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) prevents these abnormalities as opposed to multimodal analgesia with i.v. patient controlled analgesia (i.v. PCA) after thoracotomy. Fifty-four patients undergoing thoracotomy (lung cancer) were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Clinical respiratory characte… Show more

“…The most common causes of morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgeries are pulmonary complications with wide variation of incidence, from 6% to 76% [2]. It is believed that factors such as general anesthesia, surgical incision, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), ischemia time, intensity of surgical manipulation and number of drains may predispose patients to pulmonary function changes, which are highly relevant on the onset of respiratory complications in cardiac surgery postoperative [3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…This leads to decrease in vital capacity and functional residual capacity, which leads to retention of secretions and atelectasis, which agreed that the ventilatory impairment is a loss of pulmonary function of greater impact [7,40,41]. It is directly associated with the type of surgical incision and the degree of cardiopulmonary compromise in the perioperative period and in the CCPO.…”
