About this trial

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to compare the hemodynamic and pulmonary effects of single-step and stepwise lung recruitment maneuvers in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. After separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, patients will be randomized to receive either a single-step sustained inflation recruitment maneuver or a stepwise incremental recruitment maneuver, both combined with 8 cmH₂O positive end-expiratory pressure. The primary outcome is the change in cardiac index before and after the recruitment maneuver. Secondary outcomes include lung ultrasound atelectasis score, and hemodynamic parameters.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Single Step Lung Recruitment Maneuver

    Procedure/Surgery

    A sustained inflation lung recruitment maneuver with an airway pressure of 30 cmH₂O applied for 30 seconds after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, combined with 8 cmH₂O positive end-expiratory pressure.

  • Stepwise Lung Recruitment Maneuver

    Procedure/Surgery

    A stepwise lung recruitment maneuver in which airway pressure is increased by 5 cmH₂O every 5 seconds up to 30 cmH₂O and then decreased in the same manner after separation from cardiopulmonary bypass, combined with 8 cmH₂O positive end-expiratory pressure.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Cardiac Index

Difference in cardiac index measured before and after the lung recruitment maneuver.

Time frame
Intraoperative period

Secondary outcomes

1

The heart rate measurement

Heart rate will be recorded preoperatively; after induction; immediately before the recruitment maneuver (RM); during RM at the point of maximum airway pressure; at the end of RM; 30 minutes after RM; at postoperative hour 1; and immediately after extubation.

Time frame
Intraoperative period and postoperative day 1.
2

The mean arterial pressure measurement

Mean arterial pressure will be recorded preoperatively; after induction; immediately before the recruitment maneuver (RM); during RM at the point of maximum airway pressure; at the end of RM; 30 minutes after RM; at postoperative hour 1; and immediately after extubation.

Time frame
Intraoperative period and postoperative day 1.
3

Systemic vascular resistance index measurement

Systemic vascular resistance index will be recorded preoperatively; after induction; immediately before the recruitment maneuver (RM); during RM at the point of maximum airway pressure; at the end of RM; 30 minutes after RM; at postoperative hour 1; and immediately after extubation.

Time frame
Intraoperative period and postoperative day 1.
4

Stroke volume variation

Dynamic hemodynamic parameters, including stroke volume variation (SVV, %), will be recorded as separate variables using invasive arterial waveform analysis. Measurements will be obtained after induction; immediately before the recruitment maneuver (RM); during RM at the point of maximum airway pressure; at the end of RM; 30 minutes after RM; at postoperative hour 1; and immediately after extubation.

Time frame
Intraoperative period and postoperative day 1.
