PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
![Page 7: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Disruption involves the the tracheobronchial tree.The disruption occurs when a 1-way valve forms, allowing air inflow into the pleural space and prohibiting air outflow. The volume of this non absorbable intrapleural air increases with each inspiration because of the 1-way valve effect. As a result, pressure rises within the affected hemi thorax. As the pressure increases, the ipsilateral lung collapses and causes hypoxia.
![Page 8: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
In ventilated patients, suspect bronchopleural fistula when increased pleural pressures causes
An increase in peak airway pressure in order to deliver the same tidal volume.
Decreased expiratory volumes secondary to air leakage into the pleural space and
Increased end-expiratory pressure, even after discontinuation of PEEP

Anxiety
Tachyponea
Tachycardia
Hyper resonance of the chest wall on the affected side
Diminished breath sounds on the affected side

Late findings Decreased level of consciousness
Tracheal deviation toward the contralateral side
Hypotension
Distension of neck veins (may not be present if hypotension is severe)
Cyanosis
![Page 17: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Further pressure build-up causes the mediastinum to shift toward the contra lateral side and impinge on both the contra lateral lung and the vasculature entering the right atrium of the heart.
This condition leads to worsening hypoxia and compromised venous return.
The inferior vena cava is the first to kink and restrict blood flow back to the heart.
evident in trauma patients who may be hypovolemic with reduced venous blood return to the heart.
![Page 18: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hypoxia leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance via vasoconstriction.
Decreasing cardiac output and worsening metabolic acidosis secondary to decreased oxygen delivery to the periphery occur, thus inducing anaerobic metabolism.
If the underlying problem remains untreated, the hypoxemia, metabolic acidosis, and decreased cardiac output lead to cardiac arrest and death.
Infection of contralateral lung

ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Pre op evaluation most essentialPurely on clinical grounds
Poor general conditionLarge BPF→ loss of tidal vol. →V/Q mismatch →hypoxia & hypercarbia Infection, malnutrition, dehydrationRespiratory distress & circulatory collapse ( tension pneumothorax)Hazards of emergency surgery –full stomach
![Page 35: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
SPECIFIC RISK
PPV → large air leak→ insufficient ventilation & oxygenation →enlargement of fistula contamination of contra lateral lung
Hence ,Maintain spontaneous ventilation till affected side is isolated
![Page 36: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Goals
1. Minimization of airflow through the fistula
2. Adequate gas-exchange in unaffected lung
3. Avoid hypoxemia at any cost
4. Avoid positive pressure ventilation until fistula isolated
5. Avoidance of tension pneumothorax
6. Protection against contamination of remaining lung
![Page 37: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Pre op investigationIn addition to routine 1. CXR2. PFT3. ABG4. Bronchoscopy 5. Evaluation of loss of tidal volume
1. Intermittent or continuous air bubbles through chest tube
2. Measuring expired tidal volume
![Page 39: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
BRONCHOSCOPY
Topical anaesthesia Head end elevated
Ultra short acting narcotics and topical anaesthesia
IV induction with short acting agents with single lumen ETT and Bronchoscopy during aponea period
If hypoxia occurs ,advance over bronchoscope ETT into unaffected lung bronchus, saturation improves ,tube pulled back for FOB EXAMINATION
![Page 40: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Establish lung isolation –DLT.
FOB through Tracheal Lumen
Inhalation induction maintaining Spontaneous Ventilation
Disadvantage coughing ,cross contamination
TIVA with spontaneous ventilation–margin of safety between inadequate and excess depth
![Page 41: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
INDUCTION, INTUBATION, ISOLATION
Patient sitting up with affected side dependent
PPV should be withheld until fistula is isolated
Suction on chest tube should be discontinued to ↓loss of tidal volume
![Page 42: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

AWAKE INTUBATION
Theoretically attractiveSpontaneous ventilation until
Ability to cough IPPV
Practically difficultSick hypoxic patient unable to cooperate
Cough when LA. spray applied
Penetration of mucosa by LA impaired
![Page 44: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
GENERAL ANESTHESIA WITH SPONTANEOUS VENTILATION
Advantage1. More patient comfort2. Less incidence of coughing
Disadvantage 1. Altered kinetics of inhalational agent due to
fistula2. Hypotension with inhalational agents 3. Spontaneous Ventilation may fail before depth is
sufficient without coughing
![Page 45: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
RAPID SEQUENCE INDUCTION
Atraumatic intubation with no coughing
Safe only if the tube can be sited correctly & reliably at first attempt
DisadvantageExperienced anaesthiologist and staff needed
Endobronchial blockers are useless
![Page 46: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
CHOICE OF ISOLATION
• Double lumen tube-tip cannot be controlled after the tip enters the larynx
Lumen on fistula side should be occluded before giving positive pressure ventilation to prevent pressure building up within
In failure to Intubate consider Endotracheal Intubation.
![Page 47: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Single lumen Endobronchial tube-placed under direct vision
If fistula is small and uninfected → standard ETT can be used
Gentle manual ventilation Drain chest Apply pressure to drain for adequate gas
exchange with each positive pressure ventilation
![Page 48: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Disadvantage: Risk of surgical emphysemaRisk of adhesion Drain cannot be guaranteed
Bronchial blockers
DLT most commonly used
![Page 49: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
TECHNIQUE
Premedication → small dose of anxiolytics and anticholinergics ( inj. Atropine)
Disadvantage Patient has already tachycardia
Interfering with mucocilary clearance
AdvantageDecreases bronchial secretion and saliva
![Page 50: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Bronchial cuff is secured Patient is ventilated with oxygenThen lowered to supine positionEndobronchial and pharyngeal toilet completedPatient turned to lateral position, chest re exploredBleeding is unusual if excessive contamination
At the end of surgery → test integrity of airway →pressurizing & and looking for air bubble in a saline filled hemi thorax
![Page 55: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
TECHNIQUE
Reestablish spontaneous ventilation at the end if at all possible
IPPV with low peak inflation pressure if spont. not possible
HFPPV is preferred to conventional mechanical ventilation
![Page 56: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
VENTILATORY MANAGEMENT
Provide ventilation only to one lung
Allowing the fistula to heal
Not possible in patients with associated pulmonary pathology →due to large shunt
Unilateral PEEP may also ↑ the shunt
![Page 57: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
VENTILATORY MANAGEMENT
Differential lung ventilation
DLT with independent volume settings for each lung by 2 synchronized ventilators
Normal lung →ventilate normally
Diseased → TV & PEEP kept reduced
Level of CPAP →”just below critical opening pressure of fistula”
![Page 58: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
HIGH FREQUENCY JET VENTILATION
ADVANTAGE– Minimal loss of TV
– Fistula heal more quickly
– Airway resistance, pulm. Compliance will have minimal influences
– Low airway pressure
– Spontaneous efforts are abolished→ less sedation & no need of paralysis
![Page 59: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
VENTILATORY MANAGEMENT
MONITORING
1. Measuring continuously volume of gas passing from the chest tube by inserting a flow tube sensor
2. Other less reliable methods Assessing amount of air bubble Difference between inspired and expired tidal volume

LUNG CYST
Hazards in pathophysiologySmall cyst rarely cause symptoms
Cyst become problematic if They become enlarged & cause mass effect (tension cyst)
If they rupture & create a pneumothorax
If they become infected
Hydatid cyst ,pulmonary sequestration and CCAM are usually uninfected, without bronchial communication ,small, asymptomatic
![Page 65: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
LUNG CYST
Infected cystCommunicating more prone for recurrent infection
Fever, cough, purulent sputum, occasional hemoptysis
Tension cystCommunicating cyst can trap by ball valve mechanism
causes rapid expansion, pneumothorax & mass effect
Acute cardio - respiratory instability
![Page 66: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
LUNG CYST
Emphysematous bullaeFormed due to destructive process of emphysema
Air can be trapped with in bullae because of preferential inflation & ↓ elastic recoil
Expiratory obstruction of emphysema contribute to expansion
Ball valve mechanism causes sudden rapid expansion

LUNG CYST
Pathophysiology– Space occupying lesion→ impaired expansion of
lung →↓ elastic recoil of lung parenchyma →↑airway resistance
– Distortion of bronchial anatomy → further increase airway obstruction
– Flattened diaphragm and hyper expanded rib cage →disadvantage for mechanics of respiration
– Can be a source of ↑dead space and WOB

HYPOTENSION
Decreased venous return due to increased intrathoracic pressureExtrinsic restriction of diastolic ventricular filling (tamponade effect)Mediastinal shiftTreatment
Restore venous return by fluids , vasopressor and reduce the volume of cyst by surgical decompression or lung isolation (DLT)

The major types of pneumothorax are:
Open pneumothorax
Closed pneumothorax
Spontaneous pneumothorax -<40yrs.
Pulmonary barotrauma -mechanically ventilated
![Page 73: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Air can enter the mediastinum (the space in the center of the chest between the lungs), especially during an asthmatic attack,
When a lung biopsy specimen is taken at the time of Bronchoscopy
Thoracentesis (removal of fluid from the pleural space), the pleura lining the lung may be penetrated,
![Page 74: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
CT scan through the lower lobes, lung window display, shows a thin-walled cyst in the left lower lobe (arrow).

Insertion of chest drain
![Page 78: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Underwater chest drainThe site is between the 4th and 7th intercostal spaces, between the mid-axillary and anterior axillary lines.
Aseptic technique, infiltrate skin and subcutaneous tissues with local anaesthetic.
Incise chest wall 2 cm below proposed site of insertion. Perform blunt dissection using artery forceps through to the pleural cavity.
![Page 79: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Using the tip of finger, sweep adherent lung away from the insertion site. Insert the drain into the pleural cavity and slide into position (usually towards the apex). Connect the drain to an underwater seal device.
Perform a purse-string suture around the puncture site to aid sealing after removal.
Some chest drains come with a flexible trocar, thus avoiding risk of trauma.
![Page 80: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
The underwater seal deviceThe effective drainage of air, blood or fluids from the pleural space requires an airtight system to maintain sub atmospheric intrapleural pressure. This allows re-expansion of the lung and restores Hemodynamic stability by minimizing mediastinal shift. The basic requirements are a suitable chest drain with minimal resistance, an underwater seal and a collection chamber.
![Page 81: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
ICD
![Page 82: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
The drainage tube is submerged to a depth of 1-2 cm in a collection chamber of approximately 20 cm diameter.
This ensures minimum resistance to drainage of air and maintains the underwater seal even in the face of a large inspiratory effort.
The chamber should be 100 cm below the chest as sub atmospheric pressures up to -80 cmH2O may be produced during obstructed inspiration. Drainage can be allowed to occur under gravity, or suction may be applied.
![Page 83: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
The underwater seal acts as a one-way valve through which air is expelled from the pleural space and prevented from re-entering during the next inspiration
Retrograde flow of fluid may occur if the collection chamber is raised above the level of the patient
Absence of oscillations may indicate obstruction of the drainage system by clots or kinks, loss of sub-atmospheric pressure or complete re-expansion of the lung
Persistent bubbling indicates a continuing bronchopleural air leak
The collection chamber should be kept below the level of the patient at all times to prevent fluid being siphoned into the pleural space. Clamping a pleural drain in the presence of a continuing air leak may result in a tension pneumothorax

ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Infected cyst → usually communicate with tracheo bronchial tree & pose a risk of contamination
– Secure lung isolation rapidly
– Drainage with antibiotics should precede surgery
![Page 88: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Large cystLarge cyst can never be ignored whether it is in a symptomless or breathless patient
They compress adjacent lung
Likely to enlarge when N2O is used
Enlargement → resp. distress, rupture, pneumothorax
![Page 89: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
May be inflated preferentially during mechanical ventilation → inefficient gas exchange
Rapid enlargement if communication is valvular
Cyst may rupture in closed chest and cause pneumothorax
![Page 90: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
ANAESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Local anaesthesia is a suitable optionGA is given avoiding nitrous oxideAvoid mechanical ventilation or IPPV but spontaneous respiration is maintained In mech. Ventilation minimize peak inflation pressureFacilities for prompt drainage should be ready Endobronchial intubation avoided during emergency surgery
![Page 91: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Gradual enlargement of cyst usually missed
Ruture of cyst is followed by respiratory distress bronchospasm ,marked resistance to inflation and mediastinal shift
Presence surgical drapes makes auscultation difficult
ICD inserted and attached to under water seal without suctioning, it does not interfere with adequate ventilation
![Page 92: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
THORACOTOMY
Surgery indicated if it interfere with PFT
Usually Plication Or Obliteration Of Cyst Done
Spontaneous ventilation and nitrous oxide avoided until chest is opened
DLT for single or both lung ventilationFor generalized emphysema
![Page 93: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Single lumen if trachea distorted and if isolated lung cyst and opposite lung is healthy
ETT Intubation gentle positive pressure ventilation by hand
“Period of risk”-induction to opening of chest and surgeon in control of the cyst
![Page 94: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
IN BILATERAL LESIONS
The compromised lung should be operated
Expanding cyst / pneumothorax may develop in non – operative lung, this will produce hypoxemia, hypotension during OLV
![Page 95: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
LUNG ABSCESS
Fluid filled cavity unlikely to increase in size
Liable to rupture during manipulation
DLT to isolate the lobe containing the cyst
COMPLETE PROTECTION TO OPPOSITE LUNG AND ROUTE FOR SUCTION
Endobronchial blocker
![Page 96: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
TREATMENTAntibiotics
If it rupture :postural drainage
ComplicationBPF as long as infection persist
![Page 97: Bronchopleural Fistula 1frank](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/54fb00054a7959f0388b473b/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)

ANESTHETIC CONSIDERATION
Post operative leaks are major source of morbidityEffective reexpansion by recruitment maneuvers Prevented by
Minimizing ventilatory pressure and volume Tailoring the anesthetic technique for rapid return of spontaneous ventilation
Treatment Patient is put on supine position If significant air leak –
re-explored.post op ventilation with pressure controlled ventilation chest tube placed under water
