Effects of positive end-expiratory pressure on arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia. Ersoy Ayşın,Çakırgöz Mensure,Ervatan Zekeriya,Kıran Özlem,Türkmen Aygen,Esenyel Cem Zeki Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica OBJECTIVE:Our study is a prospective, randomized study on patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach-chair position to evaluate the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on hemodynamic stability, providing a bloodless surgical field and surgical satisfaction. METHODS:Fifty patients were divided into two groups. Group I (n=25) had zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) administered under general anesthesia, and group II (n=25) had +5 PEEP administered. During surgery, intraarticular hemorrhage and surgical satisfaction were evaluated on a scale of 0-10. During surgery, at the 5th, 30th, 60th, and 90th minutes and at the end of surgery, heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and positive inspiratory pressure were recorded. At the end of the surgery, the amount of bleeding and duration of the operation were recorded. RESULTS:In group I, the duration of operation and amount of bleeding were found to be significantly greater than those in group II (p<0.05). The surgical satisfaction score and clarity of the surgical field were found to be significantly lower in group I than in group II (p<0.05). MAP values in group I were significantly lower than those in group II. The SPO² values in group I were significantly lower than those in group II. CONCLUSION:Adding PEEP to the ventilation parameters of arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach-chair position reduces the amount of hemorrhage in the surgical field and thus increases surgical satisfaction without requiring the creation of controlled hypotension. 10.3944/AOTT.2016.15.0213
Haemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation during arthroscopic shoulder surgery in beach chair position under general anaesthesia. Jeong H,Lee S H,Jang E A,Chung S S,Lee J,Yoo K Y Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica BACKGROUND:Patients undergoing surgery in beach chair position (BCP) are at risk of cerebral ischaemia. We determined the prevalence and risk factors of jugular venous bulb oxygen desaturation (SjvO(2)  < 50%) in BCP. It was also examined whether regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO(2) ) measured by near-infrared spectroscopy and SjvO(2) are interchangeable for assessment of cerebral oxygenation. METHODS:Fifty-six consecutive patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in BCP were studied. Anaesthesia was intravenous with propofol and remifentanil (P/R) or inhalational with sevoflurane and 50% nitrous oxide (S/N) depending on provider choice. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), SjvO(2) , and SctO(2) were measured before (baseline; post-induction in supine position) and after the patients assumed BCP. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to measure the agreement between SctO(2) and SjvO(2) . RESULTS:SjvO(2) , SctO(2) , MAP, and HR decreased significantly when patients were raised into BCP. Jugular desaturation occurred in 41% of patients (56% with P/R vs. 21% with S/N anaesthesia, P = 0.0077). Risk factors for the desaturation included P/R anaesthesia [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 4.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.34-16.95, P = 0.016] and MAP < 50 mmHg (aOR 3.85, 95% CI 1.21-12.25, P = 0.023). Bland-Altman analysis showed a mean difference of -8.9% with 95% limit of agreement between -40.0% and 23.0%. The percentage error [1.96 standard deviation/mean of the reference method] was 48.5%. CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of jugular desaturation in BCP was 41%, and P/R anaesthesia and hypotension were associated with its occurrence while undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia. SctO(2) may not replace SjvO(2) for the determination of cerebral oxygenation. 10.1111/j.1399-6576.2012.02716.x
What Is the Risk of Intraoperative Cerebral Oxygen Desaturation in Patients Undergoing Shoulder Surgery in the Beach Chair Position? Clinical orthopaedics and related research BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that intraoperative cerebral desaturation in patients undergoing shoulder surgery in the beach chair position varies widely, from 0% to 80%. To our knowledge, the risk of intraoperative cerebral desaturation is not known after all identified intraoperative modifiable physiologic parameters that influence cerebral blood flow have been controlled for. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES:(1) What is the risk of intraoperative cerebral desaturation during shoulder surgery with the patient in the beach chair position when patients received combined general anesthesia and an interscalene block, and what other factors associated with intraoperative cerebral desaturation can be identified? (2) Is intraoperative cerebral desaturation associated with 24-hour cognitive decline? (3) What factors are associated with intraoperative hypotension? METHODS:Between April and December 2020, 51 patients underwent elective shoulder surgery in the beach chair position at one center. Nine patients were excluded: four patients refused to participate, two patients were unable to receive an interscalene brachial plexus block, and three patients were operated on in less than 70° upright position. A total of 42 patients (aged 63 ± 10 years, of whom 52% [22 of 42] were female) were prospectively recruited into this study. Each patient was diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear and underwent arthroscopic repair in the beach chair position, which was performed in an upright position of 70° to 80°. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to monitor regional cerebral oxygen saturation. The mean arterial pressure was monitored and controlled so that it was more than 70 mmHg in patients without hypertension and within 20% from the baseline mean arterial pressure in patients with hypertension. All patients received the standardized anesthesia protocol, which consisted of an interscalene brachial plexus block and general anesthesia. Intraoperative cerebral desaturation was defined as a decrease in the regional cerebral oxygen saturation level of more than 20% from the baseline value that lasted longer than 15 seconds after induction of anesthesia. Patients' clinical characteristics such as age, sex, BMI, preoperative hemoglobin level, preexisting medical conditions, and continuing antihypertensive medications on the morning of surgery were analyzed to identify the association with intraoperative cerebral desaturation. We used the Montreal Cognitive Assessment to assess cognitive function at preoperative and 24 hours postoperative. Episodes of hypotension and its treatment after maximum head elevation were recorded. The patients' clinical characteristics were analyzed to determine their association with hypotensive events. RESULTS:In this study, intraoperative cerebral desaturation occurred in 43% (18 of 42) of patients, and female sex was identified as an associated risk (odds ratio 4.3 [95% confidence interval 1.2 to 16.2]; p = 0.03). The median (interquartile range) duration of intraoperative cerebral desaturation was 19 minutes (5 to 38). There was no association between intraoperative cerebral desaturation and 24-hour postoperative cognitive decline (OR 0.6 [95% CI 0.1 to 2.4]; p = 0.44). Risk factors for intraoperative hypotension were a history of hypertension, regardless of whether or not the patient took antihypertensive drugs on the morning of surgery (OR 4.9 [95% CI 1.3 to 18.1]; p = 0.02), and dyslipidemia (OR 4.3 [95% CI 1.2 to 16.3]; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION:The intraoperative cerebral desaturation risk in the beach chair position was high. Female sex was an intraoperative cerebral desaturation risk factor. However, there was no association between intraoperative cerebral desaturation and postoperative cognitive decline. Patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia are at risk of intraoperative hypotension after positioning. Further large-scale studies are required to identify intraoperative cerebral desaturation-associated adverse neurologic outcome.

The effect of the sitting upright or 'beachchair' position on cerebral blood flow during anaesthesia for shoulder surgery. Soeding P F,Wang J,Hoy G,Jarman P,Phillips H,Marks P,Royse C Anaesthesia and intensive care The sitting upright or 'beachchair' position is commonly used for shoulder arthroscopic surgery. There is a theoretical concern that anaesthetised patients placed in this posture are at risk of reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF), especially if there is associated hypotension. This study investigated the effect of anaesthetic-induced hypotension on estimated cerebral blood flow in patients placed in the beachchair position for shoulder surgery. Forty patients were randomised to either sedation (propofol infusion 10 to 20 mg x hour 1, n = 20) or general anaesthesia using sub minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (n = 20). All patients received an interscalene brachial plexus regional block. Internal carotid artery blood flow was measured using the time averaged velocity of the spectral Doppler waveform, and was then used as an estimate of global CBF. Following a pre-anaesthesia study, measurement of internal carotid artery blood flow was made before and after beachchair positioning, and at five-minute intervals during surgery. Beachchair positioning during general anaesthesia significantly decreased the mean arterial pressure (34 +/- 10 mmHg) compared to sedation (4 +/- 2 mmHg, P < 0.01), and vasopressor therapy was required more often. However, CBF remained constant in both anaesthetised (P = 0.83) and sedated patients (P = 0.68) despite beachchair positioning, and the fall in mean arterial pressure in the anaesthetised patients. There was no significant difference in CBF between groups (P = 0.91). These findings indicate that in patients in the beachchair position receiving sevoflurane anaesthesia, CBF is maintained when mean arterial pressure is above 70 mmHg, consistent with intact autoregulation. 10.1177/0310057X1103900315
Effect of irrigation fluid temperature on core body temperature and inflammatory response during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Pan Xiaoyun,Ye Luyou,Liu Zhongtang,Wen Hong,Hu Yuezheng,Xu Xinxian Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery PURPOSE:This study was designed to evaluate the influence of irrigation fluid on the patients' physiological response to arthroscopic shoulder surgery. METHODS:Patients who were scheduled for arthroscopic shoulder surgery were prospectively included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive warm arthroscopic irrigation fluid (Group W, n = 33) or room temperature irrigation fluid (Group RT, n = 33) intraoperatively. Core body temperature was measured at regular intervals. The proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured in drainage fluid and serum. RESULTS:The changes of core body temperatures in Group RT were similar with those in Group W within 15 min after induction of anesthesia, but the decreases in Group RT were significantly greater after then. The lowest temperature was 35.1 ± 0.4 °C in Group RT and 35.9 ± 0.3 °C in Group W, the difference was statistically different (P < 0.05). Hypothermia occurred in 31 out of 33 subjects in Group RT (31/33; 94 %), but was significantly lower in Group W (9/24; 27 %; P < 0.05). Serum TNF-α changes were undetectable postoperatively. No statistical significant differences in serum IL-1 and serum IL-10 levels were observed between groups. Serum IL-6 levels were significantly lower in Group W (P < 0.05). The levels of the above cytokines in drainage fluid were all significantly lower in Group W after surgery (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:Hypothermia occurs more often in arthroscopic shoulder surgery by using room temperature irrigation fluid compared with warm irrigation fluid. And local inflammatory response is significantly reduced by using warm irrigation fluid. It seems that warm irrigation fluid is more recommendable for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. 10.1007/s00402-015-2246-2
Room Temperature Versus Warm Irrigation Fluid Used for Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis. Lin Youbin,Zhou Chunbin,Liu Zhaoyong,Wu Kezhou,Chen Shubiao,Wang Weihao,Chen Yelong,Wang Hu Journal of perianesthesia nursing : official journal of the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses PURPOSE:The aim of this study was to analyze whether warm irrigation fluid could reduce postoperative adverse effects in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery compared with room temperature irrigation fluid. DESIGN:A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials was performed. METHODS:A computerized search of electronic databases was performed. The inclusion criteria were studies comparing the clinical effects of room temperature and warm irrigation fluid on patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. FINDINGS:Warm irrigation fluid reduced the degree of core body temperature drop and the incidence of hypothermia. A statistically lower incidence of shivering also occurred in the warm irrigation fluid group. CONCLUSIONS:The use of warm irrigation fluid better maintains core body temperature and reduces incidence of shivering than room temperature irrigation fluid. Therefore, warm irrigation fluid is a better choice for arthroscopic shoulder surgery. 10.1016/j.jopan.2019.06.006
Warmed irrigation fluid does not decrease perioperative hypothermia during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Oh Joo Han,Kim Joon Yub,Chung Seok Won,Park Ji Soon,Kim Do Hun,Kim Sung Hoon,Yun Mi Ja Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association PURPOSE:To compare the clinical efficacy of warmed irrigation fluid and room-temperature fluid in decreasing perioperative hypothermia during arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery. METHODS:In this prospective, randomized, comparative study, warmed (36°C) arthroscopic irrigation fluid (group W, n = 36) or room-temperature irrigation fluid (group RT, n = 36) was used without intraoperative warming devices during arthroscopic shoulder surgery in 72 patients. The serial core body temperature and the last and lowest core body temperatures were measured by use of an esophageal stethoscope with a thermometer and a digital tympanic thermometer at 15-minute intervals during the operation and recovery period, respectively. When patients arrived in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after surgery, they were warmed immediately and monitored thereafter for body temperature and development of hypothermia-related adverse effects such as postoperative shivering and cardiac events. We evaluated the changes in the patients' weight and prothrombin time on postoperative day 1 and the hemoglobin level and visual analog scale pain score immediately after the operation and on postoperative day 1. RESULTS:The 2 groups did not differ in demographic and surgical data and incidence of intraoperative hypothermia (33 of 36 [91.6%] in group RT and 34 of 36 [94.4%] in group W, P = .276). The core body temperatures decreased throughout the surgery and increased linearly in the PACU, without any intergroup differences (P > .05). All patients were normothermic within 1 hour of arrival in the PACU. The 2 groups did not differ in postoperative weight change, prothrombin time, hemoglobin level, or postoperative visual analog scale pain score (all P > .05). Postoperative shivering occurred in 3 patients and 1 patient in group RT and group W, respectively. No cardiac events occurred in either group. CONCLUSIONS:Warmed irrigation fluid was not superior to room-temperature irrigation fluid in reducing the occurrence of perioperative hypothermia during arthroscopic shoulder surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level I, randomized controlled trial. 10.1016/j.arthro.2013.11.017
Acute Respiratory Distress and Hyperchloremic Metabolic Acidosis as a Result of Massive Irrigation Fluid Extravasation After Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A Case Report and Recommendations for Preventable Complications. Abutalib Raid A,Alamri Asim J,Aqel Samir A,Alhumaidi Ibrahim M,Almohini Ibrahim A The American journal of case reports BACKGROUND Airway compromise caused by massive fluid extravasation in association with arthroscopic shoulder surgery is rare. However, it is even more rare to occur as a result of pleural effusion. We present this case to increase the awareness of this rare complication and show how to minimize the likelihood of this uncommon incident. CASE REPORT We describe a case of a 68-year-old woman who underwent elective shoulder arthroscopy for rotator cuff repair. She had immediate postoperative shortness of breath and was found to have bilateral pulmonary edema and pleural effusion accompanied by metabolic acidosis. She was managed conservatively in the intensive care unit and then transferred to the general ward after clinical and radiological improvement the next day. CONCLUSIONS This uncommon complication was self-limiting, and the patient recovered uneventfully. High clinical suspicion is required to address this event so proper rapid management can be made. 10.12659/AJCR.926357
Pulmonary edema following shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia with nerve block: An observational study. Medicine ABSTRACT:Shoulder arthroscopy requires a large of irrigation for a better surgical view, leading circulatory overload. This study was performed to prove whether pulmonary edema will be lead by a large of irrigation.General anesthesia with interscalene block was induced before operation. The primary outcome was ultrasound evaluation of B lines from the time before nerve block to the time 10 hours after operation. The secondary outcomes included oxygenation index, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, visual analogue scale, muscle strength grade.A total of 93 patients were evaluated. Before surgery, B lines failed to be detected. While the highest total incidence of B lines was 49.4%, occurred at 4 hours after surgery. The highest incidences of severe and moderate pulmonary edema were 3.2% (P = .081) and 9.7% (P = .002), respectively. B lines were also found on both the affected and healthy side. During operation, the incidence of type 1 respiratory failure was 5.4% (P = .023) and that of both type 1 and 2 respiratory failure were 6.5% (P = .013). Pain was relieved in 6 hours after surgery (VAS < 3). At 12 hours after operation, the VAS of resting and motion were 4.68 ± 2.27, 6.90 ± 2.43, respectively. While the grade of muscle strength was 4.48 ± 0.51 at 12 hours after operation.There is a high incidence of pulmonary edema in shoulder arthroscopy, and ultrasound is a convenient tool to evaluate this complication. Pain is relieved in 6 hours after surgery by nerve block. While muscle strength can also recover at 12 hours after surgery. 10.1097/MD.0000000000023713
