We aimed at comparing the efficiency of these treatment strategies. Airway resistance (Raw), respiratory compliance (C), capnogram phase III slope (SIII), and Horowitz coefficient (HQ) were measured in anaesthetized, mechanically ventilated patients undergoing cardiac surgeries. Five different therapeutic interventions were compared to the standard post-CPB lung management with 4 cmH2O PEEP: i) application of elevated PEEP (8 cmH2O), ii) administration of 1 MAC sevoflurane (SEV) during either PEEP4 or iii) PEEP8, iv) a RM followed by PEEP8, and v) concomitant use of a RM, PEEP8, and SEV. The Raw decreased significantly in all groups, with the greatest drop after the combined application of RM, PEEP and SEV (-60±21[SD]%, p<0.001). C decreased similarly in all groups (43±33%, p<0.001) with the exception of SEV alone. SIII decreased in all patients; elevated PEEP and SEV induced the greatest changes (-32±16%, p<0.001). Significant increases in HQ were only observed in the patients receiving RM (iv: 32±27%, v: 47±28%, p<0.001). We conclude that elevated PEEP combined with RM recruit alveoli, thereby decreasing ventilation heterogeneities, increasing C and improving gas exchange. SEV contributes to the homogenization of the lungs via its bronchodilation potential. The adverse respiratory effects of CPB are complex; combination of lung recruitment and bronchodilator therapies is the most efficient as a reversal.Supported by OTKA grant K115253. ER -
