Abstract
In a group of 18 male patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass, the overall incidence of post-operative atelectasis was 60 per cent. Nearly three-quarters occurred during anaesthesia. After operation there was no difference whether CMV or IMV without PEEP was provided overnight. Atelectasis already present did not improve and further atelectasis occurred. A role for IMV is not excluded, since it facilitates the use of PEEP. Many factors operate and interact to provoke atelectasis during anaesthesia, which increases post-operative morbidity. Many of these factors are preventible or reversible if their physiological basis is understood. Optimal post-operative ventilation should be tailored to the needs of the individual patient and demands close co-operation between anaesthetist and surgeon. Ľincidence ďatélectasie post-Opératoire a été de 60 pour cent chez 18 patients ayant subi un pontage aorto-coronarien à coeurouvert. Troisquart de ces complications sont survenues au cours de ľanesthésie. On n’a pas noté de différence en utilisant une ventilation obligatoire intermittente (IMV) sans peep au cours de la première nuit au lieu de la ventilation contrôlée ordinaire. Non seulement ľatélectasie déjà présente à ľarrivée aux soins intensifs ne s’améliorait pas, mais au contraire il s’en produisait davantage. Ľemploi de la ventilation obligatoire intermittente peut quand même présenter des avantages car elle diminue les effets de la peep sur le débit cardiaque. De nombreux facteurs contribuent à la production ďatélectasie durant ľanesthésie, ce qui augmente la morbidité post-opératoire. Beaucoup de ceux-ci peuvent être prévenus ou corrigés si leur physiopathologie est comprise. Ľassistance respiratoire post-opératoire devrait être choisie en fonction ďun patient donné, ce qui implique une collaboration étroite entre le chirurgien et ľanesthésiste.Keywords
