About this study

Official title: Atelectasis After Pulmonary Lobectomy: The Effect Of Air During One-Lung Ventilation (OLV) On Postoperative Atelectasis.

Patients scheduled for lung lobe resection using video assisted thoracic surgery will be randomly assigned to be ventilated with either only oxygen or a mixture of air and oxygen.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the incidence of postoperative collapse (in the non-surgical lung) is decreased when using a mixture of air and oxygen compared to using only oxygen (which is our control measurement) during one-lung ventilation.

Read the detailed description

One of the concerns with all thoracic procedures employing One Lung Ventilation (OLV) is intra-operative hypoxia due to the large shunt that develops when only one lung is being ventilated. Ventilation with a higher fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) is one of the commonly chosen strategies for the treatment of hypoxemia during (OLV) for thoracic surgery. Using an FIO2 of 1.0 at all times during (OLV), however, may increase the risk of absorption atelectasis intra and postoperatively which itself leads to persistent hypoxia and potentially pneumonia.

The aim of this study is therefore to determine the impact of adding air to the inspired fraction of oxygen during (OLV) primarily on the incidence of postoperative atelectasis of the nonsurgical lung after lung resection using video assisted thoracic surgery and secondarily on intraoperative and postoperative oxygenation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • One Lung VentilationOther

    Also called OLV

    Patients in this group will be ventilated with a mixture of air and oxygen during one lung ventilation.

  • One Lung VentilationOther

    Also called OLV

    Patients in this group will be ventilated with only oxygen during one lung ventilation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The incidence of postoperative atelectasis

    The primary objective is to determine if the incidence of postoperative atelectasis is decreased in the non-surgical lung, during one-lung ventilation (OLV) with mixture of air and oxygen compared to (OLV) using only oxygen (which is our control measurement) .

    Measured: Immediately after the surgery - up to 2 days post operative.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The incidence of intraoperative and postoperative hypoxia (SpO2 < 90%) .

    Measured: Intra-operative and Post operative day 1 and 2 .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing One Lung Ventilation in people with Pulmonary Atelectasis, run by London Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2011. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Neal Badner, MD, FRCP(C) (+1 (519) 685-8500 ext. 55115, Neal.Badner@lhsc.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The incidence of postoperative atelectasis (time frame: Immediately after the surgery - up to 2 days post operative.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01289691, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 4 Feb 2011.
