Abstract:Objective To observe the clinical effect and prognosis of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in improving the hemodynamics of patients under thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods Fifty patients underwent thoracoscopic left lower lobectomy were randomly divided into the fluid restriction group (C group, n?=?20) and TEE group (E group, n?=?20). C group used restrictive fluid infusion; Group E used TEE to guide the fluid input. The management objective was to control the left ventricular ejection time (LVET) at 350 to 400 ms and the stroke volume (Stroke volume, SV) increased by < 10% under TEE. The hemodynamic changes, T1 and T5 time points DO2I, VO2I, Lac and fluid volume, urine volume, blood loss and intraoperative use of vasoactive drugs at immediate induction time (T1), cut time (T2), single lung ventilation time (T3), chest closing time (T4), and surgery finishing time (T5) were recorded. Results Infusion volume and urine volume in group E were higher than those in group C (P?< 0.05). The dosage of Ephedrine and Deoxyepinephrine in group E was lower than that in group C (P?< 0.05). There were differences in MAP and HR between the two groups at time points of T2-T5 (P?< 0.05). There were differences in HR between groups ,HR in group E was lower than that in group C (P < 0.05), and the relative hemodynamics was more stable. At T5 time point, DO2I and VO2I in group E were higher than those in group C, and Lac was lower than those in group C (P?< 0.05). DO2I and VO2I at T5 time point in group E were higher than those at T1 time point, and Lac was lower than those at T1 time point (P?< 0.05). In group C, VO2I at T5 time point was higher than that at T1 time point, and Lac was lower than that at T1 time point (P?< 0.05). Conclusions TEE-guided target-directed fluid therapy can achieve a satisfactory volume status in patients undergoing lobectomy, which can improve the patient's postoperative outcome and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
