Abstract:Abstract: Objective To investigate the application value of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in the thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer. Methods A total of 94 patients who have received thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer were randomly divided into the Observation Group and the Control Group. The Observation Group received GDFT, while the Control Group received conventional fluid therapy. The hemodynamic indicators, intraoperative pulmonary ventilation function indicators, surgical observation indicators, and cognitive functions between the two groups were compared. Results At 1 h of single lung ventilation and immediately after operation, the MAP, CVP, and RI of the Observation Group were significantly lower than those of the Control Group, while rSO 2 and OI of the Observation Group were significantly higher than those of the Control Group (P<0.05 or 0.01); the colloid rehydration, crystal rehydration, urine volume, and total rehydration of the Observation Group were significantly less than those of the Control Group, and the proportion of patients using vasoactive drugs in the Observation Group was significantly lower than that of the Control Group (P<0.05 or 0.01). At 1 d after operation, the MMSE score of the Observation Group was significantly higher than that of the Control Group, and the incidence of cognitive impairment of the Observation Group was significantly lower than that of the Control Group (P<0.05). Conclusion GDFT can stabilize hemodynamics, control volume load, reduce the use rate of vasoactive drugs, reduce the damage of lung ventilation function and decrease the incidence of cognitive dysfunction during thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.
