[Analysis of the application effect and safety of transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange technique in hysteroscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgery].

Objective: To investigate the effect and safety of transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) technique in hysteroscopic diagnostic and therapeutic surgery. Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 female patients undergoing hysteroscopy surgery at Beijing Tongren Hospital from September to December 2023 were selected and randomly divided into two groups by the random number table method: the THRIVE group and the mask oxygen group, with 50 patients in each group. Patients in both groups were given total intravenous anesthesia with propofol combined with remifentanil and preserved spontaneous respiration. The THRIVE group was given oxygen by the THRIVE device with an oxygen flow rate of 50 L/min, while the mask oxygen group was given oxygen by the mask with an oxygen flow rate of 5 L/min; the oxygen concentration of both groups was set at 100%. The general condition of the patients, vital signs during the operation, the amount of anesthesia drugs used and the operation time were recorded. The primary observation index was the incidence of hypoxic events in the two groups; the secondary observation indexes were the incidence and time of intraoperative apnea as well as the corresponding oxygenation interventions and the incidence of non-hypoxic adverse events. Results: The age of the THRIVE group was (42±14) years, and the age of the mask oxygen group was (43±15) years. The duration of surgery in the THRIVE group was (15.9±3.4) min, which was statistically lower than that of the mask oxygen group (16.3±4.5) min ( P =0.041), and there were no differences observed in the duration of awakening time and anesthesia time (both P >0.05). There was no significant difference in the dosage of propofol, remifentanil, and intraoperative vasoactive drugs between the two groups (all P >0.05). The SpO2 of the patients in the THRIVE group at the end of the operation was (99.7±1.1) %, which was higher than that of the mask-oxygen group (99.1±1.1) % ( P <0.05). There was no difference in SpO2 of the two groups at the other time points (all P >0.05). There were no differences in HR and MAP of two group patients at each time point (all P >0.05). The incidence of hypoxic events in the THRIVE group was 12.0% (6/50), which was lower than that of 28.0% (14/50) in the mask oxygen group ( P =0.045). The difference in the incidence and duration of apnea between the two groups was not statistically significant (all P >0.05). There were no cases of temporary need for laryngeal mask or tracheal intubation during surgery in both groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative body movement, dizziness, nausea and vomiting between the two groups (all P >0.05), and no cardiac, cerebral, renal or other important organ insufficiency occurred in the two weeks after surgery. Conclusion: THRIVE technology can provide effective oxygenation for patients undergoing hysteroscopic diagnosis and treatment, maintain patients' circulatory stability, and improve the safety and efficiency of surgery.
