Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of target-directed fluid therapy on regional cerebral oxygen saturation and hemodynamics in elderly patients with single-lung ventilation. Methods One hundred patients with single-lung ventilation in our hospital from March 2017 to March 2018 were enrolled as subjects. They were randomly divided into two groups. Group A used conventional fluid and Group B used target-directed fluid. The therapeutic effects of the two groups of patients were observed. Results The total infusion volume, urine volume, the requirement of crystalloid and norepinephrine of group B were all less than those of group A (P < 0.05), while the requirement of colloid was more than that of group A (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in bleeding volume between the two groups (P > 0.05). The extubation time of group B was 126.25±10.48 min, which was lower than that of group A (158.52±10.06 min). After treatment, the serum lactate, uric acid and creatinine levels of the patients in group B were lower than those of patients in group A (P < 0.05). Analysis of variance for repeated measures showed that there were statistical differences of CVP, MAP, SVV, HR between group A and group B (P < 0.05). The rSO2 and rSO2 values of patients in group B were higher than those of patients in group A, while rSO2%max was lower than that of patients in group B (P < 0.05). Conclusion In elderly single with single-lung ventilation, the use of target-directed fluids in the treatment can help shorten the extubation time, and will not have an excessive impact on the hemodynamics during the non-ventilation period, and promote the supply of cerebral oxygen in equilibrium.
