Objectif : Mettre en évidence l’efficacité de la ventilation non effractive peropératoire pour corriger les effets délétères de l’association bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive, obésité, rachianesthésie et position de lithotomie.

Eléments cliniques : Pendant une opération de la prostate réalisée sous rachianesthésie en position de lithotomie, nous avons observé : une hypoxémie liée à une majoration de l’hypoventilation alvéolaire et un effondrement de la capacité vitale forcée. Une étude échographique du diaphragme nous a permis de rattacher ces troubles à une réduction de plus de 30 % de la cinétique du diaphragme. Le traitement a consisté en la mise en place peropératoire d’une ventilation non effractive au masque facial.

Conclusion : La ventilation non effractive, en restaurant la cinétique diaphragmatique, a corrigé l’hypoxémie, rétablit la capacité vitale forcée et amélioré le confort respiratoire du patient.
