Scientific titleThe effects of pressure support ventilation on emergence time and ventilatory function in comparison to volume controlled ventilation and spontaneous breathing: a randomised study
Study objectivesPressure support ventilation (PSV) used with laryngeal mask airway during general anaesthesia (GA) permitted to reduce general anaesthesia emergence time and propofol consumption, compared to spontaneous breathing (SB) and controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV). An improvement in ventilatory parameters and a decrease in laryngeal mask airway (LMA) leaks were also observed with PSV.
Ethics approval(s)Local medical ethics committee (CPP Sud Mediterannée IV, Hôpital Lapeyronie, CHRU Montpellier) approved on the 28th October 1994 (ref: L94/10-04)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMechanical ventilation
InterventionSB-group: patients underwent SB throughout the ventilator circuit
CMV-group: patients underwent CMV (expiratory tidal volume: VTe of 8 mL/kg, a respiratory rate (RR) of 10 breaths/min and an inspiratory/total duty cycle (Ti/Ttot) ratio of 1:3 with a time plateau pressure at 15% of the inspiratory time)
PSV-group: patients underwent PSV (PSV level was set to obtain a VTe between 7 - 8 mL/kg and RR between 10 - 16 c/min, inspiratory trigger was fixed at -2 cm H2O)

Ventilation was performed with zero positive end expiratory pressure in all three groups. All data were recorded at baseline (T0: before GA induction), 10 min after GA induction (T1), at the surgical incision (T2), at the end of anaesthetic drugs infusion (T3) and when the patient was totally awake (T4). Drugs consumption during GA and duration of GA were recorded at the end of the surgical procedure. Hemodynamic (HR, MAP) and ventilatory variables (RR, VTi, VTe, Ti/Ttot, plateau pressure, SpO2, PetCO2) were recorded during a 2-min stable state for each period. Peak pressure, plateau pressure and flow were measured with Capnomac Ultima at the tube opening. Airway leaks were determined by noting the difference between inspired and expired tidal volume (VTi-VTe). Airway occlusion pressure (P 0.1 ) 37 was measured at each point except in T1, T2 and T3 for the CMV group. For T0 and T4, ventilatory variables were obtained in awake patients spontaneously breathing through the circuit via a mouth piece with a nose clip.
Intervention typeProcedure/Surgery
Primary outcome measure1. LMA removal time, determined by repeatedly (every minute) questioning the patient
2. Emergence time, defined as the time to obtain a 10 point score on a five questions test
Secondary outcome measures1. Propofol consumption
2. Ventilatory function
3. Adverse effects
