- Background: Computer-assisted navigation during thermal ablation of liver tumours, may help to correct needle placement and improve ablation efficacy in percutaneous, laparoscopic and open interventions. The potential advantage of using high frequency jet-ventilation technique (HFJV) during the procedure is by minimising the amplitude of respiration-related upper-abdominal organs movements. The aim of this clinical methodological trial was to establish whether HFJV would give less ventilatory induced liver movements than conventional ventilation, during stereotactic navigated ablation of liver metastases under open surgery. Methods: Five consecutive patients scheduled for elective, open liver ablation under general propofol and remifentanil anaesthesia were included in the study protocol. During the stereotactic targeting of the tumours, HFJV was chosen for intraoperative lung ventilation. For tracking of liver movement, a rigid marker shield was placed on the liver surface and tracked with an optical position measurement system. A 4D position of the marker shield was measured for HFJV and conventional tidal volume lung ventilation (TV). At each time point the magnitude of liver displacement was calculated as an Euclidean distance between translational component of the marker shield's 3D position and previously estimated centroid of the translational motion. Results: The mean Euclidean liver displacement was 0.80 (0.10) mm for HFJV and 2,90 (1.03) mm for TV with maximum displacement going as far as 12 mm on standard ventilation (p=0.0001). Conclusion: HFJV is a valuable lung ventilation method for patients undergoing stereotactic surgical procedures in general anaesthesia when reduction of organ displacement is crucial.

- This study evaluated the effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy combined with intravenous (IV) corticosteroids on hemodynamics, selected cytokines, and kidney messenger RNA toll-like receptor 4 (mRNA TLR4) expression in ischemia–reperfusion injury animal model. The primary endpoint was the evaluation of circulatory, respiratory, and renal function over time. We also investigated the profile of selected cytokines and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein, as well as renal mRNA TLR4 activation determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. Pigs (n = 19) under sevoflurane AnaConDa anesthesia/sedation were randomized and subjected to abdominal laparotomy and alternatively suprarenal aortic cross-clamping (SRACC) for 90 min or sham surgery: Group 1 (n = 8) iNO (80 ppm) + IV corticosteroids (25 mg ×3) started 30 min before SRACC and continued 2 h after SRACC release, followed with decreased iNO (30 ppm) until the end of observation, Group 2 (n = 8) 90 min SRACC, Group 3 (n = 3)—sham surgery. Renal biopsies were sampled 1 hr before SRACC and at 3 and 20 h after SRACC release. Aortic clamping increased TLR4 mRNA expression in ischemic kidneys, but significant changes were recorded only in the control group ( P = 0.016). Treatment with iNO and hydrocortisone reduced TLR4 mRNA expression to pre-ischemic conditions, and the difference observed in mRNA expression was significant between control and treatment group after 3 h ( P = 0.042). Moreover, animals subjected to treatment with iNO and hydrocortisone displayed an attenuated systemic inflammatory response and lowered pulmonary vascular resistance plus increased oxygen delivery. The results indicated that iNO therapy combined with IV corticosteroids improved central and systemic hemodynamics, oxygen delivery, and diminished the systemic inflammatory response and renal mRNA TLR4 expression.
