The Effect of Anesthesia Type on Pulmonary Function

The role of neuraxial anesthesia in preventing respiratory complications is a controversial in elderly patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the benefits of neuraxial anesthesia on pulmonary function during post-operative term in geriatric patients undergoing to elective non-abdominal surgery.

About this study

Sixty elder patients will be randomly assigned to General anesthesia or Neuraxial anesthesia groups. Spirometry, will be performed at pre-operative and post-operative terms. Pulmonary function tests will be evaluated.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 65 years of age
  • Undergoing non-abdominal surgery under anesthesia in supine position

Exclusion criteria

  • Pulmonary disease
  • Hematological disease
  • Undergoing Abdominal surgery
  • Non-supine position during surgery
  • Nicotine Abuse

Treatment and study plan

General Anesthesia

Procedure

induction with the intravenous anesthetic (Propofol) and maintenance with the inhalational anesthetic (Sevoflurane)

Neuraxial anesthesia

Procedure

Spinal anesthesia will be applied via the local anesthetic ( Bupivacaine).

spirometer

Diagnostic Test

Pulmonary function will be evaluated via the portable spirometer (MIR Spirodoc, Spirodoc®, Roma, Italy)

Primary outcomes

  1. The changes on forced vital capacity

    Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours

    Forced vital capacity will be measured via spirometer

  2. The changes on forced expiratory volume in 1 s

    Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours

    Forced expiratory volume in 1 s will be measured via spirometer

  3. The changes on mid-expiratory flow (MEF 25-75)

    Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours

    mid-expiratory flow (MEF 25-75) will be measured via spirometer

  4. The changes on peak expiratory flow (PEF)

    Time frame: At Preoperative, postoperative 2. hours, postoperative 24. hours

    Peak expiratory flow (PEF) will be measured by the spirometer
