“…Hypercapnia is one of the pathological conditions that are likely to occur in neonatal thoracoscopic surgery,especially in neonates with severe pneumonia before surgery or premature infants with pulmonary dysplasia [8,9].In 2017,James K and others pointed out that carbon dioxide insu ation during thoracoscopic surgery may cause hemodynamic changes,such as hypotension and tachycardia.In addition,the establishment of a thoracoscopic pneumothorax may result in decreased blood oxygen saturation [7,10].Finally,the absorption of CO2 by the pleura can lead to hypercapnia,the most serious consequence of which is metabolic acidosis.However,the proposed ventilation strategy for permissive hypercapnia solved this problem for clinicians.When using thoracoscopic surgery, choose a CO2 arti cial pneumothorax pressure of 4-6 mmHg,which has less impact on the vital signs of newborns, is not easy to cause lung collapse,and also ensures a certain amount of chest operation space.There was no signi cant difference in the use time of the ventilator between the thoracoscopy group and the thoracotomy group,which may be related to the use of ventilation strategies for permissive hypercapnia during the thoracoscopy group to reduce lung compression.At the same time,pay attention to pneumonia before operation, clarify whether there is tracheomalacia,pay attention to lung management during operation,and select the appropriate surgical position,which will help improve the anesthesia tolerance of children [11].While ensuring that the surgical eld of vision is not disturbed,the blood oxygen uctuation is maintained at about 90%.…”
