Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 65 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will include male and female adult patients (age 18-65) with clinically significant obesity (body mass index (BMI) between 40-85 kg/m2), who are approved for gastric bypass surgery for weight loss. Patients must have documented obstructive sleep apnea and use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), and have an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification I-III.

Who may be able to join

  • Male and female subjects 18 to 65 years of age
  • Clinically significant obesity with a BMI between 40 and 85
  • Candidates approved for gastric bypass surgery at Tampa General Hospital (*Please note: authorization for gastric bypass will be completed prior to enrollment in study; this study does not pay for the cost of the operation.)
  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status Classification I-III
  • Able to understand and sign informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Patients not able to understand the informed consent process, or unable to understand the research protocol
  • Patients in which placing an arterial catheter would pose a clinically unacceptable health risk, e.g., bleeding disorders, radial artery malformation

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Double Blind Pilot Study to Determine the Incidence of Postoperative Hypoventilation in Patients With Clinically Significant Obesity Who Have Undergone Gastric Bypass Procedures Under General Anesthesia

The purpose of this study is to determine if gastric bypass patients experience hypoventilation in the immediate postoperative period, and to what degree.

Read the detailed description

We propose to determine if patients with clinically significant obesity (body mass index, BMI, between 40 kg/m2 and 85 kg/m2), who have undergone gastric bypass procedures under general anesthesia hypoventilate during the initial twenty-four hour postoperative period, and if so, to what degree. Adequacy of ventilation will be assessed by serial arterial blood analyses. Patients will be monitored for SpO2 in the preoperative holding area, in the operating room, and the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) by conventional and study pulse oximeters. SpO2 data will be collected continuously and recorded on the study pulse oximeter for the entire study period. Arterial blood samples will be drawn for analysis every four hours by in-dwelling arterial catheter, using standard sterile technique. Hypoventilation is defined as an increase in PaCO2 five or more mm Hg above patient's baseline.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Morbid Obesity and Bariatric Surgery, run by University of South Florida at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2012.
