Proper bronchial cuff pressure (BCP) is important when using a double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT), especially in thoracic surgery. As positional change during endotracheal tube placement could alter cuff pressure, we aim to evaluate the change in BCP of DLT from the supine to the lateral decubitus position during thoracic surgery. A total of 69 patients aged 18–70 years who underwent elective lung surgery were recruited. BCP was measured at a series of time points in the supine and lateral decubitus positions after confirming the DLT placement. The primary outcome was change in the initial established BCP (BCPi), which is the maximum pressure at which the BCP did not exceed 40 cmH2O without air leak in the supine position, after lateral decubitus positioning. As the primary outcome, the BCPi increased from 25.4 ± 9.0 cmH2O in the supine position to 29.1 ± 12.2 cmH2O in the lateral decubitus position (p < 0.001). Out of the 69 participants, 43 and 26 patients underwent surgery in the left-lateral decubitus position (LLD group) and the right-lateral decubitus position (RLD group) respectively. In the LLD group, the BCPi increased significantly (p < 0.001) after lateral positioning and the beginning of surgery and the difference value, ∆BCPi, from supine to lateral position was significantly higher in the LLD group than in the RLD group (p = 0.034). Positional change from supine to lateral decubitus could increase the BCPi of DLT and the increase was significantly greater in LLD that in RLD.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the supine, left lateral decubitus, and right lateral decubitus positions on autonomic nervous activity in elderly adults by using spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). Method: Forty-five adults aged 73.6 ± 5.7 years were enrolled. After lying in the supine position, all participants moved to the lateral decubitus positions in a random order and maintained the positions for 10 min, while electrocardiographic data were recorded to measure HRV. Results: The lowest heart rate continued for 10 min when participants were in the left lateral decubitus position compared with the other two positions ( p < .001), while the HRV indexes remained unchanged. The low-frequency HRV to high-frequency HRV ratio (LF/HF) for the right lateral decubitus position was significantly lower than that for the other positions. Discussion: The right lateral decubitus position may attenuate sympathetic nerve activity in elderly adults.

Lumbar Cerebrospinal Fluid

Objective. Lumbar punctures in children are generally performed in a flexed position. Published normal ranges for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) opening pressure require measurement in an extended position, and flexion is known to increase lumbar CSF pressure. This study sought to determine a normal range (mean ± 2 SD) for lumbar CSF opening pressure measured in a flexed lateral decubitus position in children. Methods. Opening pressure was measured in 33 children receiving diagnostic lumbar punctures or prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy. Measurements were performed in a flexed lateral decubitus position. Patients with medical conditions affecting CSF pressure were excluded. Results. Opening pressure (mean ± SD) was 19.0 ± 4.4 cm H2O. Opening pressure was not significantly affected by patient age or sex. Intrathecal chemotherapy and sedation also did not affect CSF pressure. Conclusions. The normal range for lumbar CSF opening pressure measured in a flexed lateral decubitus position in children is 10 to 28 cm H2O.
