PG - 99 LID - 10.1186/s12871-024-02481-1 [doi] LID - 99 AB - BACKGROUND: The use of nonintubated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (NI-VATS) has been increasingly reported to yield favourable outcomes. However, this technology has not been routinely used because its advantages and safety have not been fully confirmed. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and feasibility of nonintubated spontaneous ventilation (NI-SV) anesthesia compared to intubated mechanical ventilation (I-MV) anesthesia in VATS by evaluating of perioperative complications and practitioners' workloads. METHODS: Patients who underwent uniportal VATS were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to receive NI-SV or I-MV anesthesia. The primary outcome was the occurrence of intraoperative airway intervention events, including transient MV, conversion to intubation and repositioning of the double-lumen tube. The secondary outcomes included perioperative complications and modified National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) scores from anesthesiologists and surgeons. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients in each group were enrolled in the intention-to-treat analysis. The incidence of intraoperative airway intervention events was greater in the NI-SV group than in the I-MV group (12 [34.3%] vs. 3 [8.6%]; OR = 0.180; 95% CI = 0.045-0.710; p = 0.009). No significant difference was found in the postoperative pulmonary complications between the groups (p > 0.05). The median of the anesthesiologists' overall NASA-TLX score was 37.5 (29-52) when administering the NI-SV, which was greater than the 25 (19-34.5) when the I-MV was administered (p < 0.001). The surgeons' overall NASA-TLX score was comparable between the two ventilation strategies (28 [21-38.5] vs. 27 [20.5-38.5], p = 0.814). CONCLUSION: The NI-SV anesthesia was feasible for VATS in the selected patients, with a greater incidence of intraoperative airway intervention events than I-MV anesthesia, and with more surgical effort required by anesthesiologists.
